Set high above the turquoise waters of Bali’s iconic Melasti Beach, Lyvin Melasti has officially opened its doors. This boutique collection of villas and suites offers a refined new take on barefoot luxury, where minimalist architecture, sweeping ocean views, and heartfelt hospitality converge across four levels of cliffside serenity.
Carved gently into the limestone hills of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, the property features 18 ocean-facing villas (each with private pools) and 20 ocean-view suites (launching December 2025). Designed by co-founder and product director Victoria Sokovykh, Lyvin Melasti flows with the terrain – green roofs become terraces for the villas above, internal pathways follow the land’s natural contours, and uninterrupted horizon lines frame every room.
Inside, the mood is calm and textural: honed locally sourced Sulawesi marble floor, custom teak furniture, soft neutral tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoor and out. Select villas feature private offices, making the property ideal for longer stays or work-from-paradise escapes.
“We designed Lyvin Melasti to feel both grounding and expansive – a space that invites rest, reflection, and reconnection,” says Victoria. “Everything is intentional, but never overdone. It’s a place to breathe.”
Set within a 3-hectare estate surrounded by forest, the Lyvin Melasti complex includes a serene pond at its heart, with planned walking trails that invite slow strolls and quiet moments in nature. Thoughtfully designed for families too, the resort offers nanny services, and playful touches to make little ones feel right at home. Coming soon: a signature restaurant by Tiga Bule (Dec 2025) and a wellness spa (2026).
Each villa is positioned to capture 180-degree views of the Indian Ocean, with long infinity pools, open-plan layouts, and indoor-outdoor flow. The architectural palette reflects both Scandinavian restraint and Balinese materiality — combining smooth plaster, dark wood, hand-carved details, and stone inspired by the cliffs below.
