Centara Grand Nusa Dua Resort and Villas progresses towards opening in 3Q 2012

Centara Grand Nusa Dua Resort & Villas, the second resort hotel to be opened in Bali by Thailand’s leading hotel operator, Centara Hotels & Resorts, will be soft-opened during the third quarter of 2012.

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

The resort’s design concept is based on the Peranakan style, a blending of Chinese and Indonesian, or Malay, cultural styles that has created very distinctive design and architectural forms for parts of Southeast Asia including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

“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 Mr. Heiniger.

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

“The opening of 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 center.

The fine dining restaurant is named Ginger and will feature Asian cuisine, and there will also be an all-day restaurant and two bars.

A Club Lounge, a Kids and Teens Club, and a library will also be among the facilities.

“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 Center, 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 percent domestic and 40 percent international.”

The resort will feature five meeting rooms ranging from 200 square meters in size, to the boardroom at 37.5 square meters.
