Centara set to open second Bali property

The Central Group’s Centara Hotels & Resorts will open its second resort in Bali, the Centara Grand Nusa Dua Resort & Villas, in the third quarter of this year.

The five-star property will feature a combination of suites and pool villas with a choice of one, two or three bedrooms.

Like the Centara Grand on Karon Beach, the Nusa Dua resort’s design concept is based on the Sino-Colonial style.

“This style has inspired the exterior design of the villas, which use wood with a Chinese motif, and also for the interiors, which feature a combination of antique and modern styles of furnishings,” said Martin Heiniger, Cluster General Manager of Centara Hotels & Resorts Bali.

Centara’s first resort hotel to open in Bali was the Centra Taum Seminyak Bali, located in the centre of Krobokan, at Seminyak, one of the island’s prime tourism destinations.

“The opening of the Centara Grand Nusa Dua Resort & Villas provides Centara guests with the option of the new five-star Grand brand resort, or the Centra value brand, at two very popular destinations on the island,” said Mr Heiniger.

Centara Grand Nusa Dua Resort & Villas will have 68 suites with the option of a private pool, a lagoon access or a private Jacuzzi, and 14 private pool villas with one, two or three bedrooms and butler service.

There will be a Spa Cenvaree with nine treatment rooms offering a full range of signature treatments, two large pools, and a fitness centre. There will be two restaurants and two bars, a Club Lounge, a Kids and Teens Club and a library.

“Our main market for Centara Grand Nusa Dua Resort & Villas will be the leisure and honeymoon sectors, but due to the excellent location of the resort next to the Bali Convention Centre, a large part of our business will be from the meetings and events sector,” said Mr Heiniger. “The market mix for MICE is forecast at 60 per cent domestic and 40 per cent international.”

The resort will have five meeting rooms ranging in size from 37.5 to 200 sqm.
