The Winner of Exquisite Awards 2022 – Best Upscale Designed Hotel Bali: The Laguna, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua, Bali
When the resort first opened its doors 31 years ago, The Laguna, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua, Bali was one of the pioneer international hospitality brands in Nusa Dua, and Bali in general, offering an extensive tropical beachfront haven for travellers. With the determination to stay relevant while maintaining the values that make the brand, the resort recently underwent a thorough renovation.
The refurbishment resulted in a brand-new look that somehow still feels familiar and welcoming. The new look combines architecture aesthetics that are inspired by the surrounding lush nature and local culture, with travel and discovery values – the unmistakable DNA of The Luxury Collection.
With these elements in mind, guests can find natural materials and neutral earthy tones – exuding both traditional warmth and a modern touch. Drawing inspiration from the resort’s seven lagoon pools, nautical and travel elements, like shiplap walls, ship lamps, and suitcase-inspired leather detailing, add exquisite charm to the guest rooms.
In addition to the refreshed rooms, the restaurants and public areas also don a new look. The lobby is now enhanced with a welcoming experience, while two of the resort’s F&B establishments, Banyubiru and de Balé Lounge & Bar pay homage to a touch of Indonesia. Banyubiru is designed to be reminiscent of the traditional warung often found in villages, with the use of materials like bamboo and rattan.
Meanwhile, the Balinese village courtyard is the inspiration behind the new de Balé, not only serving light bites and refreshing drinks, but also inviting you to a true Balinese hospitality experience. An evening at de Balé starts with a welcome glass of jamu (traditional herbal drink), enhanced by village dances and storytelling.
