Hilton has signed an agreement with Indonesian property developer Balibuana Perkasa to open Waldorf Astoria Bali, expanding the group’s presence in one of South-east Asia’s key tourism destinations.
Scheduled to open in late 2027, the resort will be located along Sawangan Beach in Nusa Dua. It is Hilton’s second collaboration with the developer, following Hilton Bali Resort, and will join the group’s 16 operating and 12 pipeline hotels across Indonesia.
Waldorf Astoria Bali will comprise 71 villas and 68 guest suites overlooking the Indian Ocean. The property will include a beach club, a restaurant and pool terrace under the brand’s Peacock Alley concept, and a new outlet by chef Dave Pynt, who is known for his open-flame cooking and the one behind Burnt Ends in Singapore and The Ledge at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.
Facilities will include a spa influenced by Balinese wellness traditions, a fitness centre, ocean-view swimming pools, family activities and a children’s club. The resort will also feature 748m2 of event space, including a ballroom and a chapel for weddings and private events.
Located 14.5km from Ngurah Rai International Airport, the resort offers proximity to nearby attractions including Ungasan, Uluwatu, and Geger Beach.
Waldorf Astoria hotels participate in Hilton Honors, the company’s loyalty programme. Members who book directly receive benefits such as flexible points payment, exclusive discounts, standard Wi-Fi and access to the Hilton Honors app.
Clarence Tan, senior vice president, development, Asia Pacific, Hilton, commented: “With the upcoming arrival of Waldorf Astoria, Bali will hold the distinction of being home to three of our luxury brands, including Conrad Hotels & Resorts and LXR Hotels & Resorts, in addition to our flagship Hilton Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Garden Inn.”
Gandi Rudiarto, director of Balibuana Perkasa, said: “The island paradise has been in the global spotlight for hosting world events like the G20 Summit, and we are confident that Waldorf Astoria Bali will introduce new heights of unforgettable luxury that befits leaders and luminaries – true to the brand’s illustrious legacy of hosting presidents and royals.”
