The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. Announces Future of Ritz-Carlton Reserve Location in Bali - The Island of a Thousand Temples

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. has announced Bali, Indonesia as the next stunning location of a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. The exclusive resort is set to open in Ubud in the summer of 2015, joining the beautiful collection which includes Phulay Bay, Thailand and Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico.

The location of Ubud is in the spiritual and cultural heart of Bali, in a district famous for its arts and crafts as well as temples and monasteries. This exceptional property occupies a prime yet secluded position in the gentle hills along the Ayung River, with views of Bali’s famous terraced rice paddy fields adjacent to the village temple.

“We are delighted to announce another exclusive Reserve project to the hand-selected portfolio. Bali is a well established destination for luxury travelers and we are confident that our resort in Ubud will raise the bar for style, service, and quality in the area” said Herve Humler, President and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. “The Ritz-Carlton Reserve offers guests a contemporary interpretation of the local lifestyle and culture. The concept is simple, yet exudes style and luxurious levels of comfort. The resorts provide a complete escape to the unexpected; a private, exclusive leisure experience that blends unique elements of the local culture, history, and heritage with intuitive individual service, exquisite indigenous design, casual ambience and respect for the surrounding environment.”

Architectural design inspiration is taken from the unique environment of Ubud. The property will have 60 intimate villas and suites showcasing native architectural features indigenous to Bali with elements of the native art scene giving the Ritz-Carlton Reserve a powerful yet rare sense of place.

Every space will be carefully curated to amplify the sophisticated individuality and needs of each guest. Lush gardens, hillside views, meditative areas and meandering pathways follow the natural lie of the land and lead to a luxurious spa offering bespoke treatments and two swimming pools designed to respect the guest’s needs for privacy and intimate personal space. With personal day beds, and sheltered spaces, guests will be able to truly discover deeply individual spaces to call their own.

Dedicated butlers will personalize every detail recognizing the individuality of each guest, from the creation of romantic dining under the stars, tailored spa experiences at the edge of the jungle, personalized chef specialty menus and off-the-beaten-track excursions created to satisfy every whim. At all times a dedicated yet unobtrusive and discrete personal contact will consistently fulfill the wishes of guests, creating a Ritz-Carlton Reserve service experience that is observant and consistently attentive.
