The Bulgari Resort, Bali, occupies a secluded plateau near Uluwatu, on the southern tip of the Jimbaran peninsula. Defined by cliffs that fall dramatically to the Indian Ocean, blessed both by sunrise and spectacular sunset views, the resort enjoys private access via funicular to a pristine stretch of beach.
The Temple
At the highest point of The Bulgari Resort, Bali, a traditional temple acts as a guardian overseeing the well being of the resort’s occupants. In keeping with the village theme incorporated into the layout of the resort, the temple has its own spiritual community to carry out the daily ceremonies that are so integral to the Balinese Hindu religion.
The Reception
Designed by architects Antonio Citterio and Partners, and created from hand- hewn volcanic stone, rich exotic woods and an exclusive range of furniture and fabrics, the magnificent proportions offer a fitting welcome to guests of The Bulgari Resort, Bali.
The Bulgari Resort, Bali features two restaurants. Sangkar presents contemporary Indonesian, Asian and international cuisine and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a sophisticated casual atmosphere. Il Ristorante defines traditional and modern creative Italian cuisine and is open only for dinner with a more formal ambience.
The Bar
A spectacular yet welcoming space, terraced with contemporary furnishings, offers a haven for relaxed contemplation of the Indian Ocean beyond. For sunset drinks, daytime lounging or bathing in the moonlight, The Bar is a sophisticated gathering place serving wines, cocktails with appetizers inspired by classical Italian flavors.
The Sangkar
Named for the traditional bamboo cages used extensively in the décor, Sangkar offers a creative take on contemporary Indonesian cuisine. Two communal tables in the heart of the floor space define a casual atmosphere and the extensive menu draws heavily on locally prepared organic ingredients and traditional recipes combined with modern culinary techniques.

The Spa
Set in the very heart of The Bulgari Resort, Bali, The Spa is the embodiment of a holistic healing centre, bringing together the therapeutic traditions of Indonesian massage and the contemporary elixirs of modern spa technology. An antique ‘Joglo’ house, transported piece by piece from central Java, creates a unique reception area. Eight treatment rooms and suites overlook the Indian Ocean and the spa gardens, each with private changing areas, plunge pools and outdoor relaxation areas. Modern treatments are combined with ancient techniques to create a range of unique spa rituals.
