What to Expect from a Stay at Mulia Villas, Bali
Written by luxuryescapes
Nothing says world-class luxury quite like the best-selling Mulia Villas – an oceanfront sanctuary where pure indulgence and barefoot bliss is a way of life.
There are not many other places in the world that embody five-star elegance quite like the Mulia Villas, a gem on Nusa Dua’s sun-kissed beachfront. Consistently ranked one of the best resorts in the world, it’s immediately clear why this sanctuary of exotic luxury receives A-list acclaim. Boasting multiple glittering pools, nine restaurants and bars serving a smorgasbord of cuisines, an ultra-luxurious spa and enchanting, butler-serviced pool villas – that are among the largest on the island – it’s easy to forget that some of Bali’s finest beaches also await on the doorstep.
Read on to discover why Mulia Villas is one of the island’s finest resorts and the epitome of ‘treat yourself’ luxury.
The Pool Villas
Bubbling hydrotherapy pools, jacuzzi tubs, round-the-clock butler service, chauffeur-driven buggies and private beach access all come as standard for guests of the villas – some of the largest and most luxe in Bali. Opulence abounds as each one displays a combination of traditional design and modern luxury: if you’re looking for contemporary yet tropical interiors, they perfectly capture this balance. Private pathways, manicured gardens and shaded trees lead to each secluded haven, all with design-led interiors, a relaxing hydrotherapy pool, marble flooring, bedding with luscious 400 thread linen and a spacious terrace. The villa experience is designed to make your escape as relaxing as possible, with packing and unpacking services, a buggy to whisk you around the resort and room service at the click of your fingers. This is the ultimate in indulgence.
The Location
Discover this ornate luxury on the Bombay Sapphire-blue waters of Bali’s south coast, in sought-after Nusa Dua. Defining luxury and exclusivity, Mulia Villas shines brightly on a private stretch of pillowy white-sand beachfront. Deliciously secluded, with everything you could want at your fingertips, there is no better place to enjoy the warm Balinese sun. However, should the time come to explore the beautiful Nusa Dua, its pristine beaches and plethora of restaurants, local eateries and fantastic shopping are near enough to be easily enjoyed.
Within close reach of the hotel is the Bali Collection mall where you can shop up a storm, and Bali National Golf Club for a round of golf in a picturesque setting. A day trip to Uluwatu Temple will provide dramatic clifftop vistas, while cocktails after at the uber-cool Ulu Cliffhouse Beach House will round out the day perfectly. The Pura Geger Temple and Museum Pasifika, home to a collection of fascinating Asia-Pacific artwork, provide an ideal insight into the history and culture of the area, while Sawangan will introduce you to some of the island’s best swells.
The Dining
A gourmet mecca, The Mulia does not disappoint when it comes to epicurean indulgence.
An experience in its own right, The Café’s breakfast is widely regarded as one of the most impressive buffet spreads in Bali, laden with a decadent array of authentic cuisines from around the world. From fresh sashimi, barbequed duck and tom yum goong at the Southeast Asian station to à la minute pasta and continental favourites in the Western corner, this is a true foodie’s dream come true. As a villa guest, you’ll also be eligible to enjoy breakfast in two exclusive spots: Living Room, a stunning lounge and dining area, or The Lounge, overlooking the iconic Oasis Pool and ocean. Daily afternoon tea also awaits – but be sure to leave space for dinner.
Reminiscent of a royal Chinese palace, Table8 provides a lavish setting for its decadent Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine. Head to the beachfront Soleil for Mediterranean and Pan-Asian flavours – and don’t miss its Sunday brunch, famed for being one of the best in Bali with its lavish buffet, seafood bar and dessert station, all topped off with free-flowing bubbles, cocktails and mimosas. For an intimate discovery of Japanese culinary philosophy, Edogin has committed to showcasing the best in taste and flavour from the land of the rising sun. If you’re in the mood for cocktails, Cascade Lounge is where to be, while Mulia Deli is a haven for sweet temptation. Celebrate life’s moments at The Bar, watch the sunset at Sky Bar or kick on into the following morning at ZJ’s Bar & Lounge.
The Spa
Wellness is the acute focus of the Mulia Spa, a ravishing, award-winning sanctuary. Complete with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, high ceilings and cool marble floors, this 20-treatment room haven offers a royal respite, boasting two state-of-the-art hammam tables, a lightly scented aromatherapy steam room, Finnish sauna, ice room, two Cleopatra-style hydrotonic pools and a fitness centre. You would be remiss not to practice yoga in the outdoor meditation area or soothe your mind and soul with a customised relaxation experience based on your principles and body type. Take the feeling home as Mulia Spa’s wide range of all-natural beauty products make a great souvenir.
The Experiences
The rich culture and raw natural beauty of Bali permeates every aspect of daily life. These traditional influences reflect in almost every corner of the Mulia Villas. Once you’re settled in, the hotel team can feed your appetite by curating evocative experiences punctuated with unforgettable moments.
Champion a life lived through meaningful discovery as you unlock a layer of authenticity and tradition with a hands-on Balinese writing or Canang (Balinese offering) making class. A cultural dance class will delight and enrich for years to come, while a selection of non-motorized watersports offers a touch of fun and excitement in the sun. Little guests are no afterthought either, as Mulia Villas is home to two fun-filled kids’ clubs: the secret formula to the perfect family escape. The Mulia Kidz programme encourages children aged three to eight to get creative in an engaging environment, while older kids can sign up to T-Zone, which includes everything from water aerobics and beach soccer to pool tournaments and trivia or bingo.
