Slated to open in 2016, Meritus Bali Seminyak Resort & Spa enjoys an excellent location in the heart of upscale Seminyak, famous for its vibrant nightlife and trendy restaurants and bars.
The resort will offer 181 guestrooms, each one outfitted with guest-centric amenities, advanced in-room entertainment system, and efficient connectivity. The design will reflect a blend of classic Balinese architecture and modern oriental interiors, with Chinois-inspired motifs.
Guests of Meritus Bali Seminyak Resort & Spa will also enjoy leisure facilities such as an infinity-edge swimming pool, a fitness centre, and a wellness spa. A full-service business centre will complement the resort’s comprehensive conference and event spaces.
Local and international cuisines will be served in uniquely themed food and beverage outlets, to include a rooftop bar designed to showcase spectacular sunset views.
