Melia Hotels International’s all-inclusive resort brand has made landfall in Asia, and the property in Bali, Indonesia, has been designed with high-end corporate incentive groups in mind.
Paradisus by Meliá Bali, which takes over the former Meliá Bali hotel in Nusa Dua, has undergone a careful transformation to give it “a higher level of sophistication and luxury along with new spaces”, said Eduardo Perera, general manager of Paradisus by Meliá Bali.
There are eight meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, flexible outdoor event spaces, and eight restaurants on property that welcome a range of gatherings. Facilities are carefully designed with zoning in mind, allowing corporate groups to operate with privacy and focus, and without disrupting leisure guests.
Paradisus by Meliá Bali operates with the brand’s patented Destination Inclusive concept, which “moves beyond the traditional perception of all-inclusive as simply meals and drinks bundled together”.
Perera said the guest experience is designed to “transform the traditional resort holiday into a true gateway to cultural discovery and immersion”.
At the Bali property, the Destination Inclusive concept is brought to life through locally inspired cuisine, cultural and wellness programmed, as well as curated offsite experiences for guests in the premium categories.
“We are also introducing a dedicated wellness pillar focused on biohacking and longevity, alongside daily practices such as yoga, breath work and meditation, which naturally align with Bali’s identity. The experience is underpinned by our Mediterranean essence and Spanish warmth, blended with the sincerity and hospitality of the island,” he added.
Perera told TTGmice: “For incentive groups in particular, the all-inclusive model works well. It simplifies budgeting and logistics, while still offering high-quality dining, wellness programming and curated destination experiences that can be built into the itinerary.
“Ultimately, we are able to host corporate groups without compromising the experience for leisure travellers, because the layout and programming allow both segments to coexist comfortably.”
According to Perera, Melia Hotels International recognises the growing interest among travellers in all-inclusive resorts and that such options are lacking in Asia, especially at the luxury end.
The new Paradisus by Meliá Bali seeks to provide travellers with “convenience and confidence in what they’re paying for”.
