Winner of Exquisite Awards 2024 – Best Island Resort: MĀUA Nusa Penida
Perched majestically above Gamat Bay, MĀUA Nusa Penida by Swiss-Belhotel is the epitome of island luxury, where opulence meets ecological mindfulness. This all-villa haven, just a short ferry ride from the vibrant shores of Bali, offers an unparalleled blend of indulgence and environmental stewardship, setting a new standard for sustainable travel.
MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel is a brand rooted in Māori culture inspired by the Māua rock sculpture on the Faull Farms.

MĀUA embodies these values, focusing on being environmentally friendly, aiming at reducing the carbon footprint, classified as a natural habitat and surrounded by natural elements.
With 25 exquisitely designed villas and new additions of 16 Junior Suites and 4 Premier Deluxe rooms, each space draws inspiration from Le Corbusier, blending seamlessly with the island’s natural beauty, romance and tranquil atmosphere.
