PAN Pacific Hotels Group will manage Parkroyal Pecatu Bali Resort, the group’s second property in Bali and the fourth in Indonesia.
Owned by Pecatu Adi Graha, the property will open by 2015 with 380 rooms in nine towers and 38 villas on a three-hectare piece of land.
Parkroyal Pecatu Bali Resort is located within the 400-hectare Pecatu Indah Resort in south Bali, comprising facilities including an 18-hole championship golf course, the Waterbom water park, Klapa entertainment club, a convention centre and botanical garden.
Pecatu Adi Graha president director, Abdul Kadir Alatas, said: “(The resort) has direct access to the New Kuta Beach and the Balangan beach (which is well-known to surfers).”
He is also considering developing another hotel next to Parkroyal, as Pecatu Adi Graha owns six hectares of land in the area.
Pan Pacific Hotels Group president and CEO, A Patrick Imbardelli, said: “We have been in Indonesia for the last 35 years, with Sari Pan Pacific Jakarta as the first property.
“Three years ago we took over the management of Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort, and now we are in the process of building the Parkroyal Rainbow Hills in Bogor (off Jakarta), which will open next year with 225 rooms and meeting facilities.
“We are excited to have this (second) property in Bali and we are also interested in having properties in places like Surabaya and Lombok.”
He also intends to bring the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites and Parkroyal Serviced Suites brands into the country.
The average occupancy rate of five-star properties in Bali last year was 74 per cent.
Pecatu Adi Graha commissioner, Hendra Gunawan, said: “Quoting a WTTC data, last year’s arrivals to Bali was 2.8 million with an average stay of 7.8 days. This means there was over 21 million visitor days. Assuming that one room is occupied by two people, we need 11 million roomnights in a year or some 30,000 rooms (occupied) daily.
“Bali statistics showed the total number of classified rooms in Bali today is 33,900, so Bali hotels could hit 90 per cent occupancy. The number is staggering.”
