Hotel Experience: Beach Delight

Beach Delight

Hyatt Regency Bali

/


A stylish beachfront sanctuary, Hyatt Regency Bali welcomes discerning travellers with exquisite accommodation, first-class service and modern facilities.

Beachfront luxury

Set on the old site of Bali Hyatt, amid nine hectares of lush, tropical gardens on Sanur Beach, Hyatt Regency Bali evokes the same sense of awe and admiration in its guests as it did in 1973 while maintaining the much-loved Balinese aesthetic of the original.

The lobby has been rebuilt as the original with its rustic thatched alang-alang roof and opens out to provide improved views of the gardens and the Bali Sea. Throughout the hotel, local materials and techniques, such as hammered copper, rattan, bamboo and coconut shell have been integrated with a modern approach and statues. Batik printing blocks and Balinese wood and stone carvings from Bali Hyatt have been repurposed as wall art and sculptures.

Modern tropical chic

Discover luxury beachfront living. Hyatt Regency Bali offers a selection of 363 beautifully appointed rooms across three buildings. Rooms span from 27–81 square metres, and each features a private balcony and cabana overlooking the lush gardens or the Bali Sea.

A study in modern tropical chic, all guestrooms feature Balinese touches, from distinctive carved banyan wood or half-split bamboo wall panelling to woven rattan panels on doors and furniture. Standard amenities include air-conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, LCD televisions, in-room safe, and coffee and tea making facilities.

The hotel’s 39 suites offer extra space and luxuries with separate living and dining rooms perfect for families. Suites also include access to the Regency Club Lounge offering a private concierge, complimentary breakfast, all-day snacks and evening cocktails and canapés.

Authentic dining

Hyatt Regency Bali showcases authentic dining venues, each utilising the freshest and finest ingredients available, local and organic wherever possible.

Omang Omang is the hotel’s all-day dining space offering comfort food from Indonesia and around the world. Alongside views of the gardens and pools, Omang Omang serves a buffet breakfast, resort favourites, all day and charcoal-grilled seafood and prime cuts in the evening.

For stunning sea views and sundowners, Pizzaria is hard to beat. This casual drinking and dining venue on Sanur Beach specialises in freshly made pasta, pizza baked in wood-fired ovens, and frozen cocktails. Against a backdrop of gamelan musicians by day and piano accompaniment by night, Piano Lounge is ideal for a quiet drink, casual business meeting or social gatherings.

Hyatt Regency Bali offers three sea-facing swimming pools: the main pool surrounded by bounteous overhanging bougainvillea, a lap pool, and a shallow children’s pool. The fitness centre, open 24-hours a day, features walls of floor-to-ceiling glass so guests can enjoy views of the gardens while working out on the latest Precor strength and cardio equipment. Recharge in the sauna and steam room, or hang out at the Juice Bar after a workout.

Renew and revitalise

Nurturing as nature intended, the Shankha Spa experience unlocks the vast ocean of healing potential to restore balance and nourish your inner calm. The Shankha Spa features a concise list of treatments inspired by Balinese wellness techniques and incorporating local ingredients, designed to renew and revitalise. The vast complex comprises ten spa villas housing a treatment area, an adults-only pool, relaxation lounge, shower, changing room, vanity area and private garden with an outdoor whirlpool.

Uplifting function space

With the event venues at Hyatt Regency Bali, Tierra Design and Spin Design Studio have drawn direct inspiration from wantilan, traditional Balinese community pavilions, to create its compound of event spaces arranged around a central outdoor courtyard. Featuring its own drop-off entryway for streamlined arrivals, the complex comprises five separate gathering spaces with glass walls (unique in the area) to bathe spaces in natural light.

The 468-square-metre ballroom features a show kitchen for live culinary theatre and can accommodate up to 600 guests for cocktails, while four additional multifunctional meeting spaces range from 98–324 square-metres and can accommodate 25–150 guests. The 240-square-metre courtyard, available for outdoor events for up to 120 attendees, is ideal for Balinese dance performances. The resort’s wedding planner and full-service catering and banquet team will help you design the perfect wedding or event of your dreams.

Located in the heart of Sanur, the International Ngurah Rai Airport is just 16 kilometres away. The hotel is within walking distance to a myriad of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and entertainment venues. The resort is also located conveniently close to some of Bali’s top attractions, allowing guests the convenience of enjoying a wide range of activities suited for families, couples and business travellers alike.
