Le Méridien Nirwana Golf & Spa Resort, Bali

Friday, November 6, 2009


Sheer perfection awaits at Le Meridien, where glorious views of the startlingly blue Indian Ocean and the area’s revered Tanah Lot sea temple form a backdrop for complete relaxation, exciting activities, or a pleasant mixture of the two. What truly sets this luxury resort apart, however, is the onsite golf course designed by the legendary Greg Norman.

Explore the traditional Balinese elements of the resort, including rice terraces and lush gardens, while deciding which of the four award-winning restaurants to try. Other deluxe amenities include an expansive spa, fully-equipped fitness centre, kids’ club, four swimming pools, and lessons in sultry Balinese dance.

The resort’s 278 spacious rooms, suites, and villas are decorated in warm earth tones and sumptuous, elegant furnishings. The rooms come with lavish amenities such as satellite television, high-speed Internet access, and plush robe and slippers; many also include balconies from which to view the ocean, gorgeous golf course, and gardens. The villas feature luxuries such as a private plunge pool and pavilion, outdoor shower, and personal butler service.

Dining
Le Meridien’s signature restaurant is Nirwana, where guests can dine on haute Asian cuisine; the house specialty is a traditional Indonesian feast called Rijsttafel. A decadent breakfast buffet is laid out every morning at Cendana Restaurant, whose terrace is also a lovely spot to enjoy an early dinner of international treats. Nautilus Pizzeria and Pub is a casual eatery where diners can shoot darts or watch their favourite sports on the big-screen TV. Grab a slice of pizza or a salad at the Pool Grill while lounging outdoors during the day; at night, take advantage of the venue’s romantic atmosphere, created through dozens of flickering candles.

Spa
The philosophy behind the extensive spa facilities at Le Meridien includes combining Western technology with Eastern wisdom to create treatments that heal and nurture. The spa menu features therapies such as massages that reduce stress and detoxify body tissues. Other spa facilities include a modern fitness centre, Jacuzzis, and four beautiful swimming pools with water slides and waterfalls.

Hotel Features
The resort is perhaps best known for its outstanding Nirwana Bali Golf Club, designed by iconic golfer Greg Norman, which has earned awards such as “Best Course in Asia” and was runner-up for the title of “Best Golf Resort in Asia.” The dazzling 18-hole course features elements like delightful streams, serene ponds, and rice terraces that produce a course that’s both beautiful and challenging.

Meetings
Le Meridien offers ten chic indoor and outdoor meeting spaces that accommodate hundreds of guests. The Grand Ballroom is the perfect spot for larger gatherings and includes the latest technology to make presentations a breeze. Four smaller indoor meeting spaces are ideal for intimate business meetings. To create an unforgettable experience, choose one of the stunning outdoor venues such as Le Patio, which accommodates up to 250 guests for dinner, and Cliff Lawn, which can host up to 400 people for cocktails or dinner.

Location
Serenely set amidst landscaped and gently sloping rice terraces, the Le Meridien Nirwana Golf & Spa Resort is ideally located within a stone’s throw of the iconic Tanah Lot Temple. Providing an unrivalled view of the southwest Bali coastline this luxury resort is within easy access of the hustle and bustle that is Kuta.

With its evocative name, you would expect Ubud Hanging Gardens to be nothing less than paradise on earth—and it is. Between the lush vegetation in vibrant, riotous colours and the dazzling blue sea, the stunning landscape is simply hypnotizing. But nothing compares to a home-away-from-home that consists of a sumptuous private villa embracing the rolling rice terraces of Ubud.

Culture mavens will love that Ubud is the artistic heart of Bali, and the resort highlights this connection through the exquisite culinary artistry and exotic decorative touches found around every corner. Other pursuits to occupy your time at the Hanging Gardens include an invigorating spa, two-level infinity pool, magnificent gardens, onsite boutique, and entertaining cooking classes.

Each of the 38 luxury private pool villas includes a heated private infinity plunge pool; spectacular terrace; and panoramic views of the mountains, Ayung River, and the revered Pura Penataran Dalem Segara temple. The gorgeous accommodations also boast plush bathrobes and slippers, posh toiletries, broadband access, CD and DVD players, and a welcome basket with little treats like fresh fruit and beverages.

Dining
The collection of restaurants at Ubud Hanging Gardens offers a variety of tastes, but they do have two things in common: their compelling vistas and the use of fresh, organic ingredients.

Diatas Pohon Café is a treat for health-conscious guests, with light fare such as salads, spring rolls, and delicious fruit juice concoctions.

Spa
The Ayung Spa thrills all of your senses with treatments that incorporate intoxicating aromas and the expert knowledge of trained therapists. Three spacious pavilions are dedicated specifically to spa therapies and include a dressing area and bath that overlooks the river—while retaining complete privacy, of course. Choose from a menu of sessions that includes facials, scrubs, restorative baths, massages, and reflexology. For even more privacy and convenience, book an in-room spa treatment. Further relaxation can be found in the resort’s large elliptical infinity pool, which winds around the natural curves of the hillside and occupies two levels.

Hotel Features
Learn to cook the Balinese way with private cooking instruction from the Ubud Hanging Gardens chef. First, a guided walk through the surrounding area will showcase where locals grow vegetables and spices. Next, you’ll journey to the resort kitchens, where you and the chef will create three unique Balinese dishes together, all the while learning about ingredient preparation, cooking techniques, and plate presentation.

Meetings
Ubud Handing Gardens presents a range of indoor and outdoor venues that are ideal settings for intimate weddings. Choose the type of wedding you desire, and the resort’s planning experts will get to work to produce the perfect, stress-free day for you and your loved ones—from the food and flowers to the legal details.

Location
A unique haven nestled on a dramatic hillside overlooking the Ayung River gorge, the Ubud Hanging Gardens offers the ultimate in luxury and tranquillity.

Ben, Brussels. February, 2006
"Lovely staff, lovely hotel, marvelous town. BUT some facilities you would expect from a 5 star hotel were missing (bad lighting if you wished to read, the room was more an alcove ... and a horrible bar-cabinet in mirror glass, really clashing with all the rest of furniture... and no room to write.... and no way to regulate the airconditioning) but overall delicious! Service is excellent, breakfast great, the room was very cozy and they offered us an unexpected room with a view over the lagoon! "
