Why should you splurge on it?
The Bulgari Resort, Bali stands atop a cliff like a medieval fortress town, tucked away in the tropical vegetations of the private garden. The stunning ocean panorama that encircles the resort is one of the reasons for the resort’s enduring popularity with visitors. The resort enjoys private access via inclined elevator to a pristine stretch of beach, inaccessible both from the earth. As man’s presence is virtually inexistent in this stretch of sea, the view of dolphins is not uncommon.

At the highest point of the resort is a traditional temple that carries out the daily ceremonies that are so integral to the Balinese Hindu religion. Featuring a sizeable selection of local crafts inspired by the island’s rich artistic heritage at the in-house Arts and Crafts store, the resort blurs the line between a museum and gallery. Guests can also shop jewels, watches, accessories and fragrances at the Bulgari store.
Contained privately within garden walls, the Ocean Cliff Villa creates a hideaway of comfort. Guests can enjoy spectacular sunrise and sunset views defined by cliffs that fall dramatically to the Indian Ocean.
