Luxury boutique hospitality brand Sudamala Resorts has appointed Ms Saimah Sabirin as General Manager of Sudamala Suites & Villas, Sanur, Bali. She will also take up the role of cluster Director of Sales and Marketing (DOSM) for the brand’s two properties in Sanur, Bali and Senggigi, Lombok.
Situated at the southern Mertasari end of the Sanur coastline, Sudamala Suites & Villas, Sanur, which includes Sudakara ArtSpace, is one of Bali’s most remarkable art-inspired resorts. At home in the historic, cultural surrounds of Sanur, Sudamala Bali has made a love of art part of its taksu or spiritual soul. The ARES Steak and Pasta restaurant meanwhile has established itself as Sanur’s leading lounge lizard lair, with a cool al fresco vibe, fairy lights and comfortable sofas perfect for watching the leisurely world go by.
“I’m very proud to appoint Saimah Sabirin as both cluster DOSM for Bali and Lombok, and General Manager of the Bali property. It’s a big responsibility, but she has the skills and experience to do the job, with an impressive list of previous positions, befitting a growing boutique brand like us,” said Emily Subrata, Director of Sudamala Resorts.
Ms Sabirin’s resume includes a long list of previous positions at some of the most impressive resorts in the region. Beginning her rise to the top as a Sales and Marketing staffer at the Melati Dua Cottages in Senggigi, Saimah went on to work at Lombok’s Holiday Inn Resort, before moving to the Intercontinental Resort, Bali as a Senior Business Development Manager. Following that, she spent several years at Bali’s luxurious, cliff-hanging Bulgari Hotel, as well as Accor Hotels, Tjendana Resorts and Sempiak Villas, before joining Sudamala in July this year.
“Bu Saimah has her own individual leadership style and is expected to bring Sudamala Sanur to the next level. I believe she will continually challenge the brand to strive to be better and to achieve our goal of being a first-class hotel company,” added Ms Subrata.
