LXR Hotels & Resorts, Hilton’s steadily growing collection of independent luxury properties, has found a new member on the clifftops of southern Bali. Formerly Banyan Tree Ungasan Resort Bali, the property is undergoing a major refurbishment before becoming a fully-fledged member of the collection later this year.
Situated high above the Indian Ocean on the clifftops of Uluwatu, the resort is home to 72 suites and villas each complete with private infinity pool and spectacular views of the seascape 70 metres below. Of the collection, a three-bedroom presidential villa reigns supreme, with a 25-metre infinity pool and 1,200 square metres of space at the crown of the resort.
Five restaurants and bars, including a beach club and speciality restaurant, will celebrate Balinese culinary heritage, while a clifftop chapel will provide a venue for unforgettable weddings. Balinese landmarks including Pura Uluwatu, one of the island’s most sacred sites, and Uluwatu Temple are a short drive away, while the white sands of Melasti Beach are directly below the resort, alongside beach clubs and a retail area.
