Paradisus by Meliá Bali has officially opened, introducing Paradisus, the luxury, all-inclusive brand from Meliá Hotels International, to Asia for the first time. Located in Nusa Dua, the southern coast of Bali, Indonesia, the resort brings a new style of elevated, experience-led approach to all-inclusive travel, centred on rest, connection and personal wellbeing.
Gabriel Escarrer Jaume, Chairman & CEO, Meliá Hotels International says: “Bali holds a special place in Meliá’s history, having been home to our first international hotel in Asia more than four decades ago. Today, we are proud to see that legacy evolve with the opening of Paradisus by Meliá Bali, the first Paradisus in the region, located within one of the island’s most established beachfront destinations.
“This resort represents a new way of experiencing a destination many travellers globally feel they already know. Through thoughtful design, cultural immersion and a sense of ease created by our all-inclusive approach, Paradisus by Meliá Bali invites guests to discover a deeper, more connected side of the island, one that allows each guest to define wellbeing in their own way.”
Guided by the brand’s Wellness Designed by Destination philosophy, Paradisus by Meliá Bali draws inspiration from the island itself, integrating local traditions, natural surroundings and a sense of balance into the guest experience. The approach focuses on simplicity and ease, giving guests the space to reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the rhythm of Bali.
The resort features 492 luxury suites, including seven private garden villas, alongside four pools, eight dining venues and three bars, all surrounded by tropical gardens overlooking the Indian Ocean. It offers a balance of space, privacy and choice, complemented by tailored experiences for different travel styles and individual definitions of wellbeing.
Luxury all-inclusive, reimagined
Paradisus by Meliá Bali offers a fresh take on all-inclusive travel. The experience is built around flexibility, allowing guests to dine, unwind and explore on their own terms, without the need to plan or coordinate day-to-day details.
The all-inclusive offering includes accommodation, dining across all restaurants, daily poolside snacks, 24-hour room service, and a mini bar replenished daily with select beverages. A range of premium alcoholic drinks are also available throughout the resort at a discounted rate.
Beyond these inclusions, guests staying on an all-inclusive basis also benefit from the resort’s Destination Inclusive® program, a signature Paradisus concept that offers curated experiences both within and beyond the resort, shaped by Bali’s culture, natural beauty and way of life. These include cultural experiences available to all guests, such as the Devan Show at Bali Nusa Dua Theatre, which showcases Indonesia’s diverse cultural heritage through traditional dance and music. Adults only experiences include curated cultural and spiritual activities in villages such as Belulang near Mount Batukaru, offering a deeper engagement with local traditions and the natural environment.
Daily in-house activities include cultural experiences such as Lontar writing and traditional Balinese dance, encouraging balance, relaxation and mindful movement. Younger guests are also encouraged to take part in Balinese arts and crafts such as Janur (decorations made from coconut leaves,) kite making, and fish and duck feeding.
