Elevator pitch Just about every plot of land in Bali is occupied by a resort, but amongst the countless properties on the island, Umana Bali stands out for its distinct sense of place. It is, after all, LXR Hotels and Resorts’ first property in Southeast Asia, and the brand is known for its dedication to exceptional design, its bespoke suite of highly personalised services and its thoughtfully curated array of immersive experiences. Going beyond just simple luxury, Umana Bali entirely embraces the beauty of Balinese culture, incorporating it in unique ways for guests to discover.
Perched on the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu and surrounded by the pristine beaches of the island’s southernmost tip, the resort is embedded in the area’s local philosophy Tri Hita Karana —the balance of people, nature and spirit. This profound belief guides everything you’ll encounter here, from the design narrative of its 72 villas, to the experiences it offers. One thing’s for sure, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of and appreciation for Bali than when you arrived.
Design story Umana Bali gets its name from uma , the Balinese term for rice paddy fields. Laid out in tiers that take inspiration from the traditional subak system which connects rice terrace irrigation with nature and the divine, the resort’s sprawling grounds are a canvas for traditional culture and craftsmanship to shine. Take your first steps into the lobby, and you’ll find yourself underneath a roof inspire.
