Bali Beach Hotel: A Harmonious Blend of Heritage and Wellness in Sanur

By The Sanur | March 21, 2025

Come enjoy the tranquil shores of Sanur’s sunrise beach, where the newly reimagined Bali Beach Hotel stands as a testament to Bali’s rich history and its evolution into a premier destination for travelers seeking a unique health and wellness experience. Located on-campus here at The Sanur, the hotel seamlessly blends luxury accommodations with a commitment to health and well-being.

The Legacy of Bali Beach Hotel

The story of the Bali Beach Hotel is deeply intertwined with Indonesia’s post-independence aspirations. In the late 1950s, President Soekarno envisioned transforming Indonesia into a global tourism hub. To realize this dream, he negotiated war reparations from Japan, securing funds to construct several luxury hotels, including the Bali Beach Hotel. Construction commenced in 1962, and by 1966, the hotel opened its doors as the first five-star establishment in Bali, marking a significant milestone in the island’s tourism industry.

The hotel’s original design featured a ten-story structure, making it the tallest building on the island— a distinction it maintains due to regulations limiting building heights to preserve Bali’s cultural landscape. Over the years, the Bali Beach Hotel has witnessed and adapted to the dynamic shifts in Bali’s tourism scene, all while preserving its historical essence. 

In 1993, the hotel underwent extensive renovations and was reborn as The Grand Bali Beach. Further transformations led to its current identity as the Bali Beach Hotel, now managed by Injourney Hospitality, a subsidiary of Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises- underscoring the government’s commitment to its vision of The Sanur being a premier health and wellness destination.

Luxurious Accommodations

Today, the Bali Beach Hotel offers guests an exquisite blend of modern amenities and traditional Balinese charm. Its accommodations range from elegantly appointed rooms to luxurious suites, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and serenity. 

Whether staying in a Deluxe Room or the opulent Presidential Suite, guests can enjoy stunning views of the ocean or the hotel’s lush tropical gardens. The rooms feature a contemporary Balinese aesthetic, complete with handcrafted wooden furnishings, soft linens, and state-of-the-art facilities that enhance the guest experience.

A Culinary Journey

Dining at the Bali Beach Hotel is a journey through flavors, celebrating both local and international cuisines. At Roso, guests can indulge in authentic Indonesian dishes crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Bistro offers a more relaxed dining experience, featuring international classics served in an elegant setting. 

The Sutasoma Lounge provides a refined ambiance perfect for afternoon tea or evening cocktails, while the Soekarno Lounge pays homage to the country’s first president with a curated selection of premium beverages. The Club Lounge, an exclusive retreat for suite guests, ensures a personalized dining experience with impeccable service.

Wellness and Recreation

Understanding the importance of holistic well-being, the Bali Beach Hotel offers an array of wellness and recreational amenities. Svasana Spa provides a sanctuary for relaxation, with treatments inspired by traditional Balinese healing practices. Guests can unwind with a soothing massage, indulge in rejuvenating facials, or participate in wellness retreats designed to promote inner balance. The hotel also boasts a modern fitness center, yoga pavilion, and a sprawling swimming pool, allowing guests to maintain their fitness routines while basking in the tropical surroundings. For families, the Kids Club offers engaging activities to keep younger guests entertained.

A Gateway to Culture and Tradition

Beyond its luxurious offerings, the Bali Beach Hotel serves as a gateway to Bali’s rich cultural heritage. Guests can immerse themselves in traditional Balinese arts, participate in cooking workshops, or learn the intricate movements of Balinese dance. The hotel frequently hosts cultural performances and ceremonies, ensuring visitors experience the island’s vibrant traditions firsthand. Additionally, the hotel sits directly between the beach and our Ethnomedical Botanic Garden, where they can explore indigenous medicinal plants and their uses in Balinese healing practices.

The Bali Beach Hotel’s Role in The Sanur Medical Campus

With its tranquil environment and comprehensive hospitality services, the hotel plays a pivotal role in supporting patients and their families, ensuring a seamless transition from treatment to recovery. Personalized wellness retreats, nutrition-focused dining options, and wellness concierge services are just some of the offerings that make it an ideal sanctuary for healing and relaxation.
