MELIÁ Hotels International continues to grow its portfolio in Asia-Pacific with the signing of Meliá Ubud on Bali.
The Spanish hospitality company has signed a deal with Indonesia’s Pilar Prambanan Investama, part of the Podo Joyo Masyhur Group, to run the new 49-key villa just a 45-minute drive from Denpasar International Airport.
The resort facilities include a chapel for weddings and events, and a relaxation area with the group’s YHI Spa.
The Ubud contract comes less than six weeks after the company signed a deal with Berakit Resorts to operate Gran Meliá Bintan.
No opening date has yet been released for Meliá Ubud, which will be the chain’s fourth property in Bali and its 10th hotel in Indonesia.
Vice president Asia-Pacific, Bernardo Cabot, stated: “The Meliá brand has been present in Bali almost 30 years, being part of the development of the destination. Meliá Hotels International is very excited adding Meliá Ubud to our portfolio, giving our clients additional accommodation options and increasing our cross selling opportunity between our properties in Nusa Dua, Benoa and Legian.”
