Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group appears to have revived plans for a luxurious hideaway resort with private residences located on Bali’s southern coast on Bukit peninsula. Mandarin Oriental, Bali is set to open in 2027.
The original project — which included the Mandarin Oriental brand — was initially flagged 10 years ago.
Perched on a cliffside plateau of elevated terraces, the resort provides dramatic panoramic views of the Indian Ocean with direct access to a secluded and protected whites and beach. Guests will enjoy infinity pools and cliff-edge dining, while wellness experiences, nestled into the cliffs, will offer a rejuvenating escape.
Crafted by Design Lab architects and renowned interior designer Jeffrey Wilkes, alongside the world-renowned landscaping expertise of Bill Bensley, this contemporary resort masterfully embraces its stunning vistas. It artfully captures the essence of Balinese culture, highlighting its unique craftsmanship, all while reflecting Mandarin Oriental’s meticulous attention to detail.
Laurent Kleitman, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, said, “With its stunning cliff-top location and thoughtful design, underpinned by our award-winning service, this resort and branded Residences will offer guests and home owners an unparalleled blend of tranquility and elegance.”

Comprising 110 generously appointed suites and villas, each designed to harmonise with the natural surroundings, the property will offer private terraces or gardens, with most featuring private pools.
Dining experiences will include a cliff-edge restaurant and bar, a speciality Chinese restaurant, a speakeasy bar, and a beach club, providing a culinary journey that highlights the best of Indonesian and international cuisine.
An all-inclusive Spa at Mandarin Oriental with signature programs as well as specifically developed treatments inspired by Balinese traditions and customs will be included in the development. Further facilities include significant heat and water therapies, outdoor swimming pools surrounded by a number of private lifestyle cabanas, and an extensive fitness centre with outdoor space for yoga and other wellness options.
The renowned Bukit Pandawa Golf Course is just minutes away.
Mandarin Oriental’s branded Residences, will provide 68 private villas, ranging from three- to six-bedrooms, set on a spectacular 8-hectare site positioned above the hotel.
The original Bukit Pandawa peninsula development in Bali also included a 96-villa Waldorf Astoria property and a 200-room Swissotel – both of which were expected to have opened several years ago.
