Umana Bali, owned by PT Surya Semesta Internusa Tbk and managed by Hilton, introduces a distinctive experience to the island paradise.

Perched on the southernmost tip of the island at Ungasan, Umana Bali offers breathtaking ocean views and features 72 luxuriously curated villas laid out in cascading terraces atop limestone cliffs, reminiscent of ancient rice paddy fields.

Alexandra Jaritz, Senior Vice President, Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Hilton, highlighted the unique features of Umana Bali, stating, “The LXR brand’s dedication to intriguing design, personalized services, and immersive experiences is illuminated at Umana Bali. Guests will be provided with a fresh perspective on the Bali way of life and unrivaled experiences befitting of the brand.”

Grounded in Balinese Tri Hita Karana philosophy, Umana Bali focuses on nature, people, and spirituality, offering authentic connections with nature, living crafts, and rejuvenating holistic wellness rituals. The resort prioritizes the local community and the environment through partnerships with skilled local artisans, using recycled materials and eco-friendly amenities.

Designed by WATG | Wimberly Interiors, Umana Bali’s architecture, landscape, and interiors reflect local legends, beliefs, and customs, fostering a vibrant sense of community. The resort’s spacious and luxuriously appointed villas offer private infinity-edge pools, outdoor hot tubs, and exceptional facilities, including a contemporary chapel, a fitness center, and a dynamic kids’ club.

The Lohma Spa at Umana Bali emphasizes wellness and wellbeing, offering personalized ancient healing traditions and contemporary therapies. The resort also provides an extensive selection of activities for the whole family, including yoga, sound healing, and meditation.

Umana Bali’s commitment to sustainability is evident in sourcing over 80% of its produce locally and implementing eco-friendly practices. The diverse collection of restaurants and bars offers a culinary journey, showcasing the best of Mediterranean, South East Asian, and Peruvian flavors.
