Club Med re-opens hip resort in Nusa Dua, Bali

January 30th, 2009

Club Med Bali has been given a brand new look, with extensive renovations to the Resort, revitalizing the now lavishly stylish village – all set in hectares of stunning beachfront location, within the popular holiday resort destination, perfect for couples, and families alike.

Special opening rates, with the second person only paying half price are on offer at Club Med Bali when you pay for 6 nights – but stay for 8 nights. For sale from Jan 28 till April 30, and for travel between 28th Jan – 31st October 2009.

Premium all inclusive packages start from $2644  (with 2nd person half price  at $1804 ) ex Perth; $2942 first person ex Sydney and Melbourne and $2102 for the second or $2651 ($1811  2nd person ) ex Brisbane; and 9 nights ex Adelaide from $2961 ($2001 2nd person).

The Resort which closed on Sept 1, 2008 re-opened its gates on Dec 19th, after the renovations costing 5 million Euros were completed, exposing a stylish, modern, and eye catching new decor bursting with colours - identifying it easily as the most fun, hip Resort in Nusa Dua.

Club Med offers a premium, all inclusive holiday package  – and the magnificent Resort in Bali really delivers on all counts.

What makes Club Med Bali a unique holiday destination is that guests enjoy a truly hassle-free holiday.

They can relax with their family and loved ones or friends, and enjoy a holiday where everything is taken care of and pre-paid in Aussie dollars – from airfares and taxes, transfers, a host of fun activities and sports - to superb gourmet food, served with wines, beers and soft drinks, all day cocktails and drinks at the bar or poolside, and all day snacks.

But for families, and stressed out parents - the best news is that childcare services at the well known Mini Club - are at no additional cost ( from 4 years old - Petit Club 2-3 Years old available but at additional cost).

Set on the south east coast of the Island known famously around the world as the “Island of the Gods,” tropical and picturesque,  the clear blue waters and white sandy beaches of Nusa Dua are irresistibly breathtaking, making Club Med Bali the perfect choice for a blissful island escape.

Now, once again Club Med Bali is set to become the most desirable, all inclusive vacation resort on the island. Extensive renovations to the resort have transformed the tropical resort into an exotic, tropical haven – a perfect harmony between modern design and traditional Balinese architecture.

The artistic designer for the new Bali resort is Mark Hertrich, a graduate from the French art school, Ecole Boule in Paris. He began his career working on his first big projects under famous architect of the ‘60s, Michel Boyer. Later he began his own successful company working in luxury design and architecture for jewellery shops, hotels and restaurants.

He has re-designed several exceptional resorts for Club Med including CancĂșn YucatĂĄn and Ixtapa in Mexico, Agadir in Morocco and La Plantation d’Albion in Mauritius.

THE NEW BALI 2009
Although Club Med Bali has become the favourite holiday resort for many and provided the perfect ambience for those seeking to get away from it all, it was time to give it a new lease of life and inner beauty with a new and contemporary feel.

The Reception

A red ground floor welcomes guests and leads them to the newly re-furnished reception. The choice of furniture here, coupled with impressive lighting, provide a bright welcome to guests on arrival, day or night.

The Main Bar

A brand new bar with a funky ambience is the perfect place to chill out by day and then party all night with a DJ spinning the hottest hits.

The main bar has an oval concept with high concrete columns and wooden panels that are an interesting contrast between local Balinese design and modern architecture. In its new location with a terrace lounge by the beach, facing the sea, it is the perfect place to relax over a long cool drink and drink in a stunning beach vista.

The ambience is intimate and convivial, and guests can enjoy easy access to the beach or the pool.

At night, the lighting changes, along with the music, and transforms the mood here for yet more enjoyable, good times.

The Pool

Adjacent to the main bar is the main pool with a new sundeck where guests will be happy to spend the day at their own pace, sunny side up or in shady comfort.

The entire pool is constructed from natural stones while the poolside area is bright and breezy with furniture and furnishings in red and white.

The Theatre

The theatre is designed for lounging, complete with billiard tables, comfy sofas and an immense wooden library. Rare artefacts decorate the room.

The Spa

A new Spa has been created in a tranquil area of the resort, complete with its own ‘quiet pool’. It offers 9 single treatment rooms and 5 double rooms. Here, guests can pamper themselves and indulge in a variety of relaxation and body treatments inspired by local traditions and modern techniques to achieve perfect balance.

Managed by Mandara Spa, everything is designed to ease the mind and relax the spirit. Guests are greeted at a reception furnished with natural raw materials and an orange and white colour theme, two colours that represent pureness in Asia.

A wooden path leads guests to where they decide on the oils of their choice before proceeding to the treatment room or the library.

Treatment rooms are simple and refined and open to a garden. Double rooms, accessible by a footbridge, are available, too.

After their treatment, guests proceed to a relaxing outdoor area where they can enjoy some peace and quiet.

The Main Restaurant

The main restaurant has a new buffet area with a choice of cuisine – Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Western and local delights – each served in a corner of its own.

A footbridge takes guests to the buffet area where a wide selection of cuisine awaits guests. Designed around this buffet area are 4 dining rooms – each with a different ambience – for guests to choose from.

The Dragon Room
Decorated and lit by many lanterns. This large terrace shelters two large Nagas (protector dragons), sculpted in wood, to welcome guests.

The Divinity Room
Golden statues of divinities are strategically positioned behind mirrors, so they appear and disappear like magic! Golden silk lanterns decorate the ceiling while suspended lamps beautifully light up the dining area.

The Orchids Room
Decorated with a metal support that holds orchids and (electric) candle lighting that illuminates the place with cosy warmth.

The Umbrellas Room
This room is spectacularly stunning with sunshades in an attractive blend of orange and saffron colours.

For the perfect alfresco meal, guests can go to the Terrace Patio where they are protected from the sun and rain by a large roof of white cloth.

The specialty restaurant

The colour red takes centre-stage in this specialty restaurant. Red curtains, large red vases and red flowers are teamed with wood, to provide a modern, warm and magical atmosphere to the place.

Designed with a terrace extension, overlooking the ocean, guests can enjoy outdoor dining with a breathtaking view. Exquisite Western and Asian fusion cuisine caps a fabulous dining experience.
