Anantara is set to open its boutique 59-suite resort property in Seminyak on December 15, during Bali's low season. The Bali property, a 30-minute drive from the international airport, marks Anatara's first project in Indonesia and will complement the group's three existing resorts in Thailand (Golden Triangle, Hua Hin, Koh Samui) and the Maldives.
Enjoying a prime 3,500sqm beachfront location next to the Gado Gado restaurant,
Anantara Resort Seminyak features 59 suite accommodation units on four floors, with prices starting from US$305,000 and owners enjoying an annual rental guarantee of 8% for three years plus 28 days' free usage a year.
Just a short stroll from the glamorous hub of Seminyak, with its hip designer ateliers and cosmopolitan dining nightlife, the resort reflects the lifestyle and culture of its stylish surroundings. The design is spearheaded by the architectural vision of Anthony Liu, whose firm TonTon is renowned for its innovative tropical designs such as the Bale Resort in Nusa Dua.
Each spacious suite in the five-storey resort, which are all about 70-80sqm in size, has an ocean view, accentuating the resort's breezy, relaxed atmosphere. Making the most of the Indian Ocean panorama, the contemporary design includes extensive glass panelling to bring the vast waterscape of Seminyak Beach into the interiors. All suites feature plasma-screen TVs, contemporary Asian-inspired furniture, broadband internet connection and a private bar.
The resort has a stylish rooftop bar with languorous settees and oversized cushions, so guests can chill out and soak in the famous Balinese sunsets. Serving up new world and Asian fare, and overlooking the wide expanses of beach below, the rooftop is set to be one of the island's premier dining venues.
The Thai restaurant on the lobby level will offer a mix of traditional Thai and contemporary fusion-styled dishes, inspired by Thailand's four main provinces. Transforming from a daily breakfast venue into an ambient-lit dinner venue, the restaurant is punctuated with exquisite local and Thai object d'art.
Further features at the resort include an infinity-edge pool overlooking the ocean vista, a fitness facility and the island's first Anantara Spa, consisting of four double suites and eight treatment beds. Featuring Balinese design and décor, each spa room will be equipped with private jacuzzi and ocean views.
