New World Grand to open Bali Resort
New World Hotels & Resorts, a Rosewood Hotel Group brand, has been appointed by Jakarta-based PT. Mugie Bali Indah to manage New World Grand Bali Resort, scheduled to open in 2017.
As the first New World Hotels & Resorts property in Indonesia, the collaboration marks a major milestone in extending the brand’s presence across Asia, adding to existing New World Hotels & Resorts properties in mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Set on 10.8 hectares, the luxury resort will be part of the premiere Pecatu Indah Resort development located on the southern Bukit Peninsula. Only 15 minutes drive from clifftop Uluwatu Temple and 30 minutes drive from Ngurah Rai Badung International Airport, the resort will be built following the site’s natural slope which is 156m above sea level at its highest point. The resort’s cascading topography will afford ocean views for all accommodations.
World class consultants including WOW Design Studio, Belt Collins International landscape architects and Hirsch Bedner Associates, will create the public spaces, exteriors and accommodations. Of the 328 guestrooms, the suites and grand suites will have individual decks and plunge pools.
Taking inspiration from a Balinese mountaintop retreat, tiered gardens will step down gently in the manner of Bali’s iconic rice paddy terraces. The resort’s landscape will be cloaked in forest flora, interspersed with meandering pathways, and indigenous building materials will include an abundance of natural lava rock. The sound of water will provide the backdrop throughout the property with waterfalls, pools and streams around every corner.
In addition to the main swimming pool with its 1,580m² viewing deck overlooking the Bali Strait and coastline, and dancing fountain concept, the adjacent waterpark will offer a Lazy River, sandy beach, water slides and a forest-themed restaurant. Other recreational options will include a spa, fitness center, the New Kuta Golf Course in the Pecatu Indah compound, and access to a nearby secluded, cliff-encircled beach.
The resort will also feature four restaurants and a rooftop destination lounge. Meeting space will include a ballroom of 1,100m² and four meeting rooms, as well as a wedding chapel.
