Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas is set to develop a resort in the southwest of Bali on the cliffs of Uluwatu, sharing ocean views with the island’s famed Uluwatu Temple – approximately 250ft (76m) above sea level.

The whole 30-acre (12-hectare) resort – owned by PT Cahaya Warna Prima – will welcome guests after two phases of construction are complete in 2017. The first phase includes the resort, which will rest on 16 acres (6.5 hectares) of land while phase two includes 60 residential villas.

The resort will include 28 villas, 62 one-bedroom villas and seven two-bedroom villas for accommodation purposes. The Six Senses Spa will offer locally-inspired speciality treatments, multi-day wellness programmes and a selection of activities as well as complimentary morning yoga. A spokesperson for Six Senses told Spa Opportunities that details of the spa’s facilities will be revealed at a later date.

In addition, there will be three restaurants, a pool bar, cooking school and organic garden.

The property will feature a vast central pool, a gym, an event lawn, ballroom, two meeting rooms and a wedding pavilion. The resort will also host its own Balinese temple.

"The location is incredible and the design approach is perfect for our brand," said Bernhard Bohnenberger, president of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas. "Innovative and fresh, this project will offer a new dimension in wellness for active and health-minded travellers."
