This exclusive address - with its five-star splendour and elevated expanse - is widely recognised as one of the most iconic clifftop resorts on the island, and rightly so.

A true masterpiece of boundary-pushing architecture, this cliff-edge resort is fronted by a superlative collection of expertly designed villas, set amongst a gated estate of picturesque, tropical grounds with openair tennis courts, an award-winning spa, and its very own sandy bay destination, Sundays Beach Club.

THE UNGASAN CLIFFTOP RESORT

CLIFF-EDGE VILLA LIVING

With its vast and undulating expanse of perfectly preened clifftop terrain, The Ungasan’s collection of A-list villas are in a world of their own. Each one is set among 2,500 squaremetres of manicured gardens, without sight or sound of any outside distractions. Like private palaces in the sky, the resort is home to 10 one-bedroom villas and 7 five-bedroom villas, occupying panoramic views of vast open ocean.

Carefully designed to soak up every aspect of the soaring clifftop setting, the villas each boast 30 metres of stunning clifftop frontage, where the dramatic horizon meets absolute luxury. Spacious living areas – both indoor and outdoor – are blessed with seemingly boundless perimeters, framed by spectacular infinity pools that appear to defy gravity as they extend out toward the distant horizon.

Yet perhaps the most remarkable aspect of The Ungasan’s villas lies in the singularity of the interior design. Unlike other villa resorts, each of these clifftop abodes have been individually conceptualised. No two are the same, and each design concept captures a different feel and five-star experience.

Some look as though they’d fit right in at the Hamptons, whilst others are like celestial retreats or oasis-like nirvanas, with crisp white décor that contrasts dramatically against emerald green lawns and the azure ocean - the kind of contrast that has you lifting your sun glasses to check that the colours really are as vivid as they seem.

Beyond the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings, if there is one aspect that each villa has in common, it is the seamless flow of the contemporary and expansive living spaces, where outdoor lounges and sun-drenched alcoves merge effortlessly with open-plan interiors. Al-fresco bathtubs, exposed lounge terraces and stylish open-air dining rooms blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living – the perfect setting to soak up the Balinese sunshine and feast on fine cuisine from The Ungasan Kitchen.

AWARD-WINNING DINING UP HIGH

The gourmet offerings at The Ungasan Clifftop Resort have been expertly crafted by acclaimed Australian chef, James Viles, owner of the two-hatted Biota Dining in Bowral, New South Wales. This award-winning chef has brought a wealth of international and local knowledge to The Ungasan’s world-class culinary offerings – not to mention a selection of outstanding menus that rival some of Bali’s very best restaurants.

Chef Viles is the man responsible for the refined cuisine at the resort’s signature restaurant, Selatan, which serves a refined menu of pan-Asian cuisine against a breath-taking setting on the top of the cliffs. Chef Viles is wholeheartedly dedicated to making the most of Bali’s rich and diverse landscapes, actively searching for the finest ingredients, freshest flavours and most-sustainable produce from nearby farmers and fisherman.

Yet perhaps Chef Viles’ most famed culinary contributions at The Ungasan can be found on the seaside-inspired menu of Sundays Beach Club – the resort’s very own beachfront destination – and within the exclusive in-villa dining experiences cooked up especially for The Ungasan’s in-house residents.

EXCLUSIVE IN-VILLA BENEFITS & VIP LUXURIES

To ensure that life at The Ungasan is lived to the absolute fullest, the resort prides itself on its in-villa experiences –lavish indulgences and gourmet treats that can be enjoyed without having to step outside the comforts of your own private palace. The in-villa indulgences here are second-tonone, thanks to The Ungasan’s team of hospitality experts, ranging from butlers and chefs, to wellness therapists.

Each day, villa guests are treated to daily gourmet offerings as part of the in-villa luxuries, like the Morning Harvest breakfast spread that lets you linger a little longer in your bright white linens and comfy bedspreads before beginning your day in paradise. A bountiful tray of breakfast favourites is delivered direct to your villa’s doorstep from The Ungasan Kitchen, with oven-fresh muffins, cured cold cuts, still-warm sourdough and cold-pressed juices in abundance.

By day, guests can also arrange group barbecues and poolside bites for sunshine grazing and clifftop get-togethers, namely the Biota BBQ dining experience that brings you a freshly cooked feast from the chefs themselves, served up on the cliff-side thanks to Chef Viles. Inspired by the ingredients of Bali’s flavour-rich landscapes, this summer-style barbecue is cooked exclusively for you in the comfort and seclusion of your own clifftop residence, overlooking the spectacular seameets-sky panorama.

Five-star spa treatments from Vela Spa are also offered invilla, designed to pamper and preen in utmost privacy. A hot stone massage can be enjoyed in your own open-air garden pavilion, or a coffee and honey body scrub can take place in your semi al-fresco bathroom, with candles flickering and essential oils slowly burning. These fabulous treatments can also be enjoyed beachfront, at Vela Spa’s outdoore bale that overlooks Sundays Beach Club.

PARADISE REFINED AT SUNDAYS BEACH CLUB

A pristine piece of paradise beautifully hidden at the base of the cliffs, Sundays Beach Club is the beating heart of The Ungasan Clifftop Resort – a refined oceanfront destination and ever-popular island experience. With acclaimed chef Viles at the helm and luxe amenities peppering the powderwhite cove – like Vela Spa, the island boutique and VIP guest services – this multi award-winning destination has helped shine an international light on the resort’s five-star offerings.

Whilst Sundays Beach Club is open to the general public, villa guests staying at The Ungasan can enjoy complimentary VIP access to the beach club, with a breathtaking decent down the rugged cliff-face on the resort’s own inclinator. As this open-air carriage reaches the powdery white sands, a sun-soaked day of beachfront extravagance awaits. Comfy beanbags dot the white sand, loungers are shaded by swaying palms, and gourmet food and drinks are delivered to Bali’s sun-kissed jet-set.

The menu at Sunday’s is a summery reflection of the beach club experience. Chef James Viles has managed to capture an upbeat holiday feel with his classic seaside fare that’s had a five-star fix-up. Your typical plate of fish and chips is soda-battered and uses fine local snapper, served up with a homemade tartare which pairs particularly with a glass of Prosecco. There’s even a whole basket of chilled seafood on offer - made for sharing and showcasing the finest catches of the day, like lobster, jumbo prawns and marinated calamari.

But it’s not just fresh ocean delicacies here. The menu at Sundays Beach Club cleverly incorporates culinary staples from around the world, like Lamb Shish cooked on a charcoal grill, sticky pork ribs marinated and glazed in woodsmoked BBQ sauce, and local favourites done right, like Nasi Goreng and Javanese Chicken cooked over coals.

To complement the ‘summer barbecue’ vibes, a concise and bespoke collection of cocktails are designed to accompany the sophisticated cuisine – delivered direct to your sunbed by the ever-attentive staff. The classics are shaken and stirred just as they should be, while Sundays’ special signatures and tropical Tiki cocktails see innovate infusions and use fresh local produce for an island-style twist.

This carefully curated VIP experience puts Sundays far ahead of Bali’s beach club pack, drawing in a global audience of luxury aficionados and sun worshippers alike who share a mutual appreciation for private, beachfront hedonism…

Some flock to the shorefront for the ocean-fresh seafood, sourced daily from the nearby fisherman and served alongside frosted flutes of fine Champagne. Others prefer the endless array of aquatic excursions available, like the complimentary use of Sundays’ own stand-up paddle boards, snorkels and ocean kayaks. Many will even stick around until nightfall, when the sounds of live music dance with the gentle crash of waves, and a beachfront bonfire crackles and toasts fluffy marshmallows ‘til late.

SERVICE FROM THE HEART

While the five-star facilities and exceptional villas at The Ungasan Clifftop Resort are enough to secure this iconic destination a top spot on any discerning traveller’s list, it is the resort’s venerable hospitality that ties the entire experience together.

Centred around a “service from the heart” concept, The Ungasan’s passionate team of private butlers and service staff are dedicated to curating a personalised experience for every guest. More than just superbly polished, pre-emptive service (the kind that sees cold drinks and fragranced face towels materialise just a moment before you need them) the service at The Ungasan goes beyond the well-trained or Universitytaught.

The secret to this heartfelt hospitality lies in the spirit of The Ungasan’s local community – a resort-wide dedication to celebrating the nearby neighbourhood and supporting the staff over generations. And the result is spectacular.

Be it a special family holiday, a corporate getaway or a romantic couple’s escape, the staff here are truly devoted to curating the finest experience possible. From the big and bright welcoming smiles that greet you upon arrival, to the personalised daily assistance and unmistakeable rapport that’s built with every stay – no matter how brief - the service at The Ungasan firmly positions this stunning clifftop resort at the forefront of Bali’s hospitality industry. The spectacular villas, sublime cuisine and VIP benefits are all an added, exemplary bonus.
