Ritz-Carlton will return to Bali next year with the launch of a new luxury resort in the Nusa Dua area.

The brand has been without a presence on the Indonesian island since 2009, when the previous Ritz-Carlton Bali was rebranded as the Ayana Resort & Spa. But in 2014, Marriott’s luxury label will return to Bali with the opening of a new 288-key beachfront property.

“Bali is a naturally beautiful destination that global travellers have consistently returned to. We are delighted to be creating an authentic Balinese resort in Sawagan which will offer breathtaking views, carefully curated experiences and recreational activities,” said Herve Humler, Ritz-Carlton’s president & chief operations officer.
The resort will feature a range of hotel rooms, suites and villas, plus two wedding chapels, outdoor event space and a ballroom. Its six F&B outlets will include a cliff-side restaurant built into a natural cave, a beach grill, Indonesian restaurant, Japanese restaurant and pool bar. There will also be a Ritz-Carlton Spa and a water sports centre.

Ritz-Carlton also operates two properties in Jakarta, while the ultra-luxury Bulgari resort in Bali is also managed by Ritz-Carlton.
