Nestled within the tranquil 27-acre cliffside haven of Hilton Bali Resort in Nusa Dua, a new jewel has emerged – Elara, an exclusive adults-only seaside lounge and bar. Drawing inspiration from the enduring charm of the Mediterranean, Elara embodies a serene escape, enhancing the resort’s already distinguished dining offerings. Its grand opening marks the final phase of the resort’s extensive renovation, which also boasts revamped accommodations, a vibrant kids’ club, and versatile event spaces.
Perched on a cliff overlooking the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, Elara invites guests to bask in the warm embrace of sun-drenched coastlines, where time seems to gently pause. The menu is a symphony of Mediterranean classics, meticulously crafted with locally sourced ingredients, reflecting the region’s commitment to wellness and flavorful, nutritious cuisine. Indulge in exquisite dishes like the 12-hour marinated grilled lamb rack, served with chimichurri, chickpeas, crumble, tahini, and yogurt purée; salmon crudo with pickled onions, capers, labneh, and extra virgin olive oil; and roasted figs paired with stracciatella, pomegranate, and blueberries.
As the sun bathes the open-air spaces in its golden glow, guests can savor handcrafted cocktails while relaxing in expansive cabanas or taking a dip in the temperature-controlled pool, all the while being captivated by breathtaking ocean views. For a more intimate dining experience, the indoor space awaits, where the décor centers around an olive tree, symbolizing renewal and rejuvenation. The use of light wood and natural fabrics evokes the effortless charm of Greece, creating an ambiance of tranquility.
“We are thrilled to introduce Elara, our new seaside lounge and bar, as the flourishing touch to Hilton Bali’s transformation,” remarked Amit Sakhrani, general manager at Hilton Bali. “Elara is more than just a dining venue, it is a destination where our guests can immerse themselves in the timeless charm of the Mediterranean, right here in Nusa Dua. This exciting new concept is a cornerstone of our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional experiences for couples and solo travelers. With its breathtaking cliffside views, a thoughtfully crafted menu and serene atmosphere, Elara offers a truly unique experience that captures the essence of both Balinese and Mediterranean hospitality.”
Beyond Elara, Hilton Bali Resort caters to a diverse clientele, offering an array of amenities perfect for families and wellness enthusiasts alike. Four interconnected swimming pools, an exhilarating 30-meter water slide, and a fully equipped gym ensure recreation for all ages. For those seeking ultimate relaxation, the resort boasts eight semi-open spa villas, promising luxurious pampering. Culinary options abound, with five distinct dining venues, including a deli serving premium Balinese coffee throughout the day, ensuring a diverse selection of flavors to tantalize every palate.
