$$$$ Busy 24 Hours Found on Google Maps 6 Oct 2026
The Ritz-Carlton, Bali is a breathtaking 12.7-hectare luxury resort masterfully terraced across both a dramatic 70-meter limestone cliff and the tranquil beachfront of Sawangan in southern Nusa Dua. Designed by WATG with interior architecture by Burega Farnell and opened in late 2014, the resort captures the spiritual essence of Balinese life, known locally as "Subak" water harmony. The cliff-top reception pavilion provides a sweeping 180-degree view of the Indian Ocean, where an iconic 70-meter glass elevator glides vertically down the cliff face to transport guests to the beachfront grounds. The all-suite and villa property features 313 accommodations featuring marble bathrooms, outdoor daybeds, and private plunge pools. Key architectural landmarks include the towering oceanfront all-glass Ritz-Carlton Cliff & Beachfront Chapel, an expansive beachfront infinity swimming pool, and the Ritz-Carlton Spa with traditional Balinese hydrotherapy bathing pools. Gastronomic highlights include Bejana, an authentic Indonesian restaurant set atop the cliff featuring the "Culinary Cave" cooking school, The Beach Grill serving oceanfront seafood, and Raku Japanese lounge.
