Arrival & Departure

Your first and last day, made easy

Many flights into Bali land at dawn and leave close to midnight. Arriving before check-in or leaving after check-out? You are welcome to enjoy the resort’s facilities during their normal opening hours, with complimentary lockers, showers and luggage storage to make the first and last day easy.

From 15:00Check-in

Your suite is ready at three

Reception is open 24 hours, so you can register, store your luggage and begin your stay at any time. The suite itself is released at 15:00 — the time our housekeeping team needs to prepare each one properly for the guests arriving into it.

By 12:00 noonCheck-out

Settle at noon, stay for the day

Check out by midday and leave your luggage with the concierge. Lockers and showers are available, and you are welcome to spend the rest of the day at the pools, the Beach Club and our restaurants during their opening hours before your flight.

On requestEarly check-in & late check-out

Extending the hours at either end

Early check-in from 12:00 noon and late check-out until 15:00 can sometimes be arranged. Both are subject to availability on the day and carry a surcharge of up to 50% of the nightly rate.

In peak season we are rarely able to offer either. If your arrival or departure time is critical, booking the night before or the night after is the only way to guarantee the room.

Arriving early before 15:00, or leaving late after 12:00 noon?

You do not have to wait in the lobby. Complimentary lockers and showers are available beside the Kids Club and at the Beach Club, luggage is stored at the concierge desk, and the pools, the beach and the restaurants are open to you during their normal hours whilst your room gets ready. Whilst you may leave your room at 12:00 noon, you can still enjoy the resort facilities, during their opening hours, until your departure time.

Book your stay, then add a transfer under Experiences →

  • Transfers must be booked at least 24 hours before arrival. Please send your flight number and arrival time so we can track delays.
  • We do not operate transfers to ports or to other hotels.

The Concierge Desk

The people to ask first

Our concierges are in the lobby to help with the small logistics of a stay — a car, a bag, a restaurant, a route.

On request

Cars & taxis

We are happy to call a taxi for you. Ride-hailing apps such as My Blue Bird, Grab and Gojek usually have a vehicle nearby within minutes.

Before check-in, after check-out

Luggage storage

Luggage is stored securely as long as you need it on your arrival or departure day, at no charge.

Subject to availability

Luggage to your suite

We will gladly bring your bags to the suite or collect them from it. During peak check-in and check-out hours a short wait is sometimes unavoidable.

Getting Around

Beyond the resort gates

Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa are easy to explore, and two things at the resort make it easier still: a free shuttle into Bali Collection, the shopping and dining complex nearby, and a tour desk in the lobby.

Complimentary · Seven departures daily

Shuttle to Bali Collection

Bali Collection is a large open-air complex at the heart of Nusa Dua, with more than 100 shops, restaurants and entertainment outlets — fifteen minutes from the resort.

Tour desk

A certified third-party tour operator keeps a desk in our lobby offering the island’s most popular excursions — from Ubud to Nusa Penida, and from the rice terraces to temple visits and water sports.

The current excursion list and prices are displayed at the desk.

Lobby · Daily 08:00–20:00

Money exchange

A government-authorised money changer operates in our lobby at competitive rates. You may need less cash than you expect: everything at the resort can be billed to your room or paid by card at each outlet, and tipping is never required, though always appreciated.

Finding your way

The resort map

The resort runs 370 metres from the far end of the suites to the beach, either side of Jalan Pratama. The interactive map shows every restaurant, bar, pool and facility, with opening hours. A printed copy is in your suite, and reception can always point you the right way.

Health & Assistance

A clinic on the property, a hospital 15 minutes away

Our in-house clinic is operated by Mandiri Holistic Care, an established independent medical provider, and is staffed daily by a licensed nurse for consultations and minor complaints.

Medical care at the resort

  • The clinic is open daily from 09:00 to 17:00.
  • Consultations are with a licensed nurse.
  • A doctor-on-call service is available outside clinic hours.
  • All medical services are payable and are not included in your room rate.
  • BIMC Hospital Nusa Dua, a major international facility, is under 15 minutes by car.
  • Reception can arrange transport to a hospital at any hour.

Medical care in Bali is largely private, and costs can be substantial. We strongly recommend arranging travel insurance with medical cover before you travel.

Accessibility

Lifts serve all guest floors and accessible suites are available on request. Public areas, including the Beach Club, are reached by ramp or lift, and a wheelchair is available at the front desk.

If any part of your stay needs particular arrangement, please tell us before you arrive so we can prepare properly.

In Your Suite

Small things that make a suite feel like a residence

Our suites are built for longer, slower stays — which raises a set of practical questions that a hotel room never does.

All suites except Lower Ground — No View

Kitchenette

An induction hob and a microwave, intended for warming, preparing simple plates and making the most of a longer stay — not for full cooking.

On request to your suite

Kitchen utensils

Utensils are not set in the suites by default, for practical reasons. Ask reception and a set will be brought up.

At reception

Cold storage

The minibar keeps drinks cool but does not reach the temperatures a domestic fridge does. If you need to store medication or anything at or below freezing, just let us know.

Practicalities

Everything else, briefly

Wi-Fi

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the resort, in suites and in all public areas, with multiple devices supported.

Parking

Complimentary, on site.

Laundry & pressing

An outsourced laundry service with an express option. Price list in your suite.

Housekeeping

Daily service; hours may vary. Use the Make-Up-Room and Do-Not-Disturb buttons at your door. Linen is changed every three days, or on request. Please help us save water by reusing your towels.

Policies

Practical conditions

Set out plainly, so nothing on arrival comes as a surprise.

Security deposit

On arrival we take a security deposit of IDR 500,000 per suite per night, capped at IDR 2,000,000 per suite per stay, by credit card or in cash.

The deposit exists for your convenience: it allows you to charge everything you order during your stay to your suite and settle once, at check-out.

  • On a credit card this is an authorisation, not a charge. The amount is held by your bank; it never leaves your account. At check-out we instruct your bank to release the hold, but how quickly the released amount reappears on your statement is determined by your card issuer, not by us.
  • Cash deposits are returned in full at check-out, less anything outstanding.

If your charges come close to the deposit amount, our team will let you know and give you the choice of topping up the deposit or settling further charges as you go.

Identification at check-in

Every staying guest must present valid identification at check-in — a passport for international guests, or a KTP for Indonesian nationals. Indonesian regulations require us to take a copy, which is held securely and handled in line with our privacy policy.

Security on the property

Tanjung Benoa is a very safe neighbourhood, and we are not aware of any security incidents at the resort or around it. We still take a prudent approach, with a system that covers:

  • Security staff on duty 24 hours a day.
  • CCTV across all public areas and guest corridors.
  • Vehicle checks at the security post, where vendors and other visitors must also register.
  • Suite key card readers that keep a record of every entry.

Every suite has an in-room safe for passports, cash, electronics and other valuables. Losses from a suite are covered by the resort and its insurers only where there is evidence that the safe has been forced or tampered with.

Visitors and day guests

Guests are welcome to receive visitors. For the safety of everyone staying with us, visitors must register at the security post and be met by their host. Dining-only visits follow each restaurant’s access policy. Pool and resident-facility use requires the applicable Day Pass, arranged in advance.

Food deliveries

You are permitted to order food from outside the resort if you wish, but for the safety of our guests and to maintain our standards, deliveries must be collected by the guest at the security post — drivers are not permitted beyond it. We are unable to provide plates or cutlery for food from outside.

Smoking

All suites and indoor public areas are non-smoking, including electronic cigarettes. Smoking is permitted on suite balconies and patios, and in designated outdoor areas. A cleaning charge applies where a suite has been smoked in.

Pool, beach and water safety

Pools are open daily during posted hours. Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times, in and around the water. Sea conditions on this coast change with the tide.

Quiet hours

We ask guests to keep noise to a considerate level in the suites and on balconies between 22:00 and 07:00, so that everyone can rest.

Are tax and service included in prices?

No, they are not included unless written otherwise. Prices at our restaurants, bars, spa and experiences are subject to 21% tax and service charge, added to the price shown.

Something we haven’t covered?

Message our team before you travel — transfers, accessibility, a celebration, an early flight. It is far easier to arrange in advance than on the day.
