In an era where true luxury is defined by space, silence, and soul-stirring connection, MĀUA Nusa Penida by Swiss-Belhotel emerges as the definitive sanctuary for the sophisticated traveller. Designed for those who seek a blend of intimacy and environmental consciousness, the package offers a curated escape on the ruggedly beautiful island of Nusa Penida. Moving away from traditional hospitality tropes, MĀUA focuses on “discreet luxury”, an editorial approach to travel that prioritises privacy, architectural integration with nature, and meaningful experiences over superficial grandeur.
Inspired by the profound heritage of the Māori culture, MĀUA, which translates to “togetherness” or “us”, is the only luxury property of its kind. The resort’s architectural prowess seamlessly weaves New Zealand’s indigenous roots with the raw, volcanic beauty of Indonesia, creating an atmosphere of “ethereal seclusion” that appeals to the most discerning eco-conscious travellers and honeymooners seeking a conscious escape.
The retreat’s culinary identity is a poetic tribute to the natural world. Guests are invited to dine at Kōwhai, the resort’s signature restaurant named after the iconic New Zealand wildflower that heralds the arrival of spring with its vibrant yellow blooms. Here, sustainability meets succulent dining, as locally sourced ingredients are transformed into dishes.
As the sun sets over the horizon, the Aroha Bar, named after the Māori word for “love”, offers a sophisticated alcove for couples. It is a space where intimacy is toasted with artisanal elixirs, serving as a prelude to a night under the starlit Penida sky.
MĀUA Nusa Penida’s “Romantic Getaway” is more than a package; it is a holistic immersion into wellness and togetherness. Framed as a detox for the soul, the experience begins with a celebratory welcome of chilled Prosecco, followed by days of unhurried indulgence.
The “Island Romance” experience is centred around the resort’s 26 luxury villas. Each villa features a private pool and unobstructed views of Gamat Bay, providing a secluded sanctuary for couples, starting from IDR 14,399,000 net/package, with treatment:
- Two-night stay in a One-Bedroom Luxury Villa, featuring private pools and panoramic views of the lush island paradise.
- Daily à la Carte Breakfast for two.
- 1 time 90-minute Signature Massage at Pounamu Spa & Wellness.
- 1 time High Tea experience for two.
- 3-course poolside romantic under-the-stars dinner paired with a bottle of curated local wine.
- Return luxury car transfers from Toya Pakeh Harbour.
- Specially curated amenities for honeymooners and those celebrating milestones of the heart.
MĀUA Nusa Penida is a testament to Swiss-Belhotel International’s commitment to environmental stewardship. By integrating sustainable technologies and respecting the island’s delicate ecosystem, the resort ensures that luxury does not come at the cost of the earth. For the sophisticated couple, this means the peace of mind that their romantic refuge is as kind to the planet as it is to their well-being.
“At MĀUA Nusa Penida by Swiss-Belhotel, we have created a space where the noise of the world fades away, replaced by the rhythm of nature and the company of one’s partner,” says Sebastien Menesguen, General Manager of MĀUA Nusa Penida by Swiss-Belhotel. “This is a place for ‘Aroha’, for love in its purest, most secluded form.”
