Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran redefines luxury
with its chic and contemporary architectural ideas designated for the guests to
discover a new perspective.
Le
Méridien Bali Jimbaran, a new luxury resort which is just inaugurated on 9 May
2013, presents unique architectural touches of modern yet understated that
adorn all parts of the resort’s interior and exterior design. Standing on an
area of 1.5 hectares, the water-themed resort with 118 rooms assures a pleasant
holiday experience featuring the signature 1,300 square meters lagoon pool that
surrounds the resort’s centre space. Professional architects from Studio TonTon
and a leading interior design firm, FBEye, trusted by PT Tiara Raya Bali
International as the owning company of Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran, teamed up to
work on the project intended to be the resort of choice for many travellers to relax
and unwind.
Le
Méridien Bali Jimbaran offers a diverse imprint that sets the resort apart from
the other luxury accommodations in surrounding by bestowing the concept of chic
and contemporary style. Various art installations are also being exhibited to
elevate the appeal of this resort, such as colourful photography works 'Liquid
Art' by a Germany artist – Markus Reugels, an installation resembles face
covered by hands made of drinking straws which is one of the masterpieces of a
South Korean artist – Sang Sik Hong, up to the conspicuous paintings by
Indonesian artists that also embellish the walls mostly shaded with colours of
grey, white, light blue and other natural colours.
As
soon as arriving at the main entrance gate of Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran, guests
who are familiar with Southern Bali must have realized how close the resort is
with the renowned seafood restaurants along Muaya Beach in Jimbaran Bay. Guests
will be welcomed with the distinctive industrial colour accents of the resort’s
building. The modern wooden decor is also consistent with the architectural
theme of the resort, Aqua Marine. Ample parking space able to accommodate
approximately 30 vehicles is also available nearby the main drop-off area.
The
resort with a total of five floors is also designed as an environmentally
friendly hotel, but still ensuring an expedient stay for the guests. Any type
of vehicle is not allowed to go up to the lobby area located on the third
floor. Therefore, Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran provides guests with buggies that
can accommodate up to four persons and luggage. This is aimed to reduce the
noise pollution resulting from vehicle engine and air pollution resulting from
vehicle exhaust fumes. Open air spaces and LED lights are used throughout the
resort premises as an effort to the energy consumption efficiency. The resort
also implements one of the green initiatives of Starwood Hotels & Resorts
by recycling and effectively using water heaters so the soothing water will not
be wasted.
Sights
will also be indulged with a variety of discovery by inspired ornaments that
complement the decor of the lobby area, also known as The Hub, of Le Méridien
Bali Jimbaran. The Hub is a space fashioned not only as a reception area for
guests to check-in and check-out, but also as a comforting dwell to gather and
hang out with friends or family while sipping a cup of tea, Illy coffee or
other concocted drinks specially orchestrated by the indigenous baristas at
Latitude 8 bar. A pair of white and black statuette with gold accent that
describes the philosophy of Yin and Yang is put on a display in lobby front
area that is seemed to welcome the arriving guests with a discovery sense that
stimulates curiosity of the resort’s artistry. Cosy sofas and couches with
bright colours, a number of flower-shaped wooden fans on the top, and
water-ripples walls that accentuate its water theme are deliberately designed
by Studio TonTon, the resort’s architect. With an open-air concept that
overlooks the circular Aqua Suite Towers and the resort’s signature lagoon
pool, guests are invited to breathe fresh air and hear the soothing sounds of
sea breezes right from The Hub. This concept is truly heightening the position
of Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran as not just an ordinary five-star resort.

Bali Jimbaran also offers spacious rooms and suites, Sky penthouses with a
private rooftop deck with pool and dedicated dining area, up to four
