Although the hotel has been around since 1996, 2013 saw the rebranding and refurbishment of Nikko Bali Resort & Spa to become the new and improved Grand Nikko Bali. Perhaps the most anticipated addition to the five-star resort, the multi-million dollar renovation brought with it a cluster of 19 exclusive ocean-view private villas, perched at the top of Nusa Dua’s 40-meter cliff.
Each villa provides a sanctuary of privacy, comfortably equipped with high-tech home comforts complimented by a discreet and world-class butler service. Perfecting the art of understated luxury, décor is intrinsically extravagant yet the open plan design exudes a sense of carefree simplicity. Outdoor pavilion areas beckon with oversized daybeds overlooking the Indian Ocean beyond, while stand-alone egg-shaped bathtubs and rain showers encourage a spot of private in-villa pampering.
In addition to the villas, the resort has also introduced a multi-purpose function room and an elegant wedding gazebo, as well as an exclusive villa lounge for villa guests. Here, complimentary drinks are served throughout the day and into the night, surrounded by sparkling infinity pools and romantically draped cabanas to snuggle up in and toast to another perfect day.
