Hilton has announced the signing of the highly anticipated Waldorf Astoria Bali, set to open in late 2027 in partnership with leading Indonesian developer PT Balibuana Perkasa. This new ultra-luxury resort will rise along the pristine coastline of Sawangan Beach in Nusa Dua, marking a significant milestone in Hilton’s growing portfolio of luxury hotels across the Asia-Pacific region.
Positioned as a crown jewel of the prestigious Nusa Dua enclave—already a haven for world leaders, dignitaries, and high-end travelers—Waldorf Astoria Bali promises to deliver an exceptional blend of Balinese cultural heritage and sophisticated global hospitality.
A Prime Location for Refined Luxury
The upcoming resort will enjoy a strategic location just 14.5 kilometers from Ngurah Rai International Airport, providing seamless access for international and domestic visitors. Guests will find themselves in close proximity to iconic landmarks such as Uluwatu Temple, Geger Beach, and the scenic cliffs that define southern Bali’s dramatic coastline.
Known for its curated luxury, Nusa Dua offers a peaceful escape from Bali’s busier tourist areas. Home to internationally acclaimed golf courses, world-class spas, and high-end boutiques, it’s an established destination for travelers who seek exclusivity, tranquility, and refined experiences.
Design Inspired by Balinese Elegance
Waldorf Astoria Bali will feature 71 opulent villas and 68 luxury suites, all designed to blend modern elegance with traditional Balinese architecture. The resort’s low-rise design will integrate seamlessly into the coastal landscape, with each accommodation offering uninterrupted Indian Ocean views.
Spacious villas will come with private plunge pools, expansive outdoor lounges, and elegant living areas, ensuring privacy and luxury at every turn. Interiors will showcase a thoughtful mix of natural materials, Balinese artwork, and contemporary design, creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and open layouts will allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the tropical surroundings, while state-of-the-art amenities will ensure comfort and convenience.
Culinary Experiences with Global Influence
Waldorf Astoria Bali aims to become a culinary destination in its own right. At the heart of the resort will be Peacock Alley, the iconic Waldorf lounge concept reimagined for a coastal setting, featuring a cliffside terrace with panoramic ocean views.
The resort will also feature a chic beachfront club ideal for relaxed dining by the sea. In addition, The Ledge by Dave Pynt will introduce a signature open-fire grill dining experience. Known for his Michelin-starred restaurant Burnt Ends in Singapore, Pynt’s culinary influence will add a contemporary edge to traditional barbecue, elevating the local dining scene.
A curated wine cellar and craft cocktail bar will complete the gastronomic offerings, ideal for sunset gatherings or intimate evenings.
Spa, Wellness, and Holistic Rejuvenation
Guests seeking wellness and restoration will have access to a full-service spa, featuring treatments rooted in ancient Balinese healing rituals combined with modern techniques. The resort will also offer yoga classes, guided meditation, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, allowing visitors to stay in tune with their well-being.
From holistic spa journeys to personalized wellness retreats, Waldorf Astoria Bali will cater to guests’ physical and spiritual rejuvenation in an idyllic, natural setting.
A Dream Destination for Events and Weddings
Waldorf Astoria Bali will provide an exquisite backdrop for destination events, with 748 square meters of flexible meeting and event space, including a 465-square-meter grand ballroom and a dedicated wedding chapel overlooking the ocean.
Whether hosting a lavish wedding, an executive retreat, or an exclusive product launch, the resort’s venues will deliver world-class event experiences supported by cutting-edge technology and tailored service.
Outdoor lawns and beachfront terraces offer versatile spaces for sunset ceremonies, cocktail receptions, or private soirées, all against the unmatched beauty of Bali’s southern coastline.
Hilton’s Commitment to Expanding Luxury in Asia-Pacific
The opening of Waldorf Astoria Bali is part of Hilton’s ambitious strategy to expand its luxury portfolio to over 150 hotels in the Asia-Pacific region. It follows recent high-profile openings such as Waldorf Astoria Osaka, and anticipates further debuts in Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, and Sydney.
“Bali is synonymous with luxury and beauty, and the introduction of Waldorf Astoria to this world-class destination reflects Hilton’s long-term commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality across the region,” said Alan Watts, President of Hilton Asia Pacific.
This property will be the first Waldorf Astoria-branded hotel in Bali, signifying Hilton’s intent to set a new benchmark for luxury on the island.
Exclusive Benefits for Hilton Honors Members
Guests staying at Waldorf Astoria Bali will also benefit from Hilton Honors, the group’s award-winning loyalty program. Members will enjoy exclusive perks such as flexible bookings, room upgrades, dining discounts, and unique local experiences.
With personalized service and privileged rewards, Hilton Honors adds exceptional value to every stay—particularly for travelers seeking immersive and meaningful luxury.
Conclusion
Scheduled to open in late 2027, Waldorf Astoria Bali will usher in a new era of luxury tourism in Indonesia, offering guests an elevated beachfront experience that blends Balinese charm with timeless global sophistication.
From its stunning location on Sawangan Beach to its exquisite design, culinary artistry, and wellness offerings, Waldorf Astoria Bali is poised to become a landmark destination for discerning travelers, event planners, and honeymooners alike.
