BALI
Some places promise luxury; Bvlgari Resort Bali delivers it in spades, all while balancing Balinese spirituality with Italian opulence. Perched on a 160-metre limestone cliff, the resort doesn’t just offer views – it commands them. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been meticulously considered, from the scent of frangipani in the air to the intuitive service that seemed to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them.

A Clifftop Oasis on the Island of the Gods
Located in Uluwatu, on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, the resort enjoys one of the island’s most coveted locations. The area is famed for its dramatic cliffs, white-sand beaches, and turquoise waves that attract surfers and sun-seekers alike.
Cultural landmarks like the Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple, where kecak fire dances take place at sunset, are just a short drive away.
The resort also provides access to Bali’s less-travelled gems: hidden beaches, local villages, and private island day trips. Despite its secluded vibe, the resort is just an hour’s drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport, ensuring both privacy and convenience.
Accommodation
Every inch of the Bvlgari Resort Bali’s 59 villas and mansions is a testament to the harmonious blend of traditional Balinese craftsmanship and the timeless sophistication of Italian design. The use of natural materials such as volcanic stone, teakwood, and hand-woven textiles grounds the experience in the island’s rich cultural heritage, while Bvlgari’s signature touches – plush Italian furnishings, ambient lighting, and meticulously curated art – infuse each space with modern elegance and refinement.
The One-Bedroom Ocean Cliff Villas, perched on the dramatic limestone cliffs, offer an intimate and romantic retreat. Expansive terraces and private infinity pools appear to merge seamlessly with the horizon, providing guests with unobstructed views of the Indian Ocean.

The seamless flow between the villa’s living spaces and the surrounding landscape invites guests to linger outdoors and savor the beauty of Bali at every turn.
The Five-Bedroom Mansions take the concept of luxury to another level, offering the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity. With their own dedicated entrance, these mansions are designed as a retreat within a retreat, where guests can enjoy their own secluded world.
