Nuju Uluwatu is now welcoming guests and has joined Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ L.V.X. Collection, marking the arrival of a new adults-only destination in Uluwatu where culture, wellbeing, and lifestyle come together through thoughtful design and genuine hospitality.
Inspired by the meaning of nuju — “towards” — Nuju offers a way of experiencing Indonesia through its culture, craftsmanship, nature, wellbeing, and everyday moments. Rather than drawing inspiration from a single region, the property celebrates the diversity of the Indonesian archipelago, bringing together influences from across Indonesia through architecture, interiors, art, and cultural experiences.
As a member of the L.V.X. Collection, Nuju joins a collection of distinctive independent hotels, each with its own character and approach to hospitality.
“Nuju was created with a simple vision: to celebrate Indonesia through thoughtful hospitality,” said Yohanes Barlianto, General Manager of Nuju Uluwatu. “Joining Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ L.V.X. Collection allows us to share Nuju with a wider community while staying true to our connection with Indonesian culture, craftsmanship, and the people and places that shape it.”
A Sense of Place
Inspired by the timeless forms of traditional Indonesian homes, Nuju’s architecture combines natural materials, layered rooflines, generous gardens, and open spaces to create a setting that feels connected to nature while embracing contemporary comfort.
Each accommodation reflects a different expression of Indonesia. The One Bedroom Pool Suite and Two Bedroom Garden Pool Suite draw inspiration from Western Indonesia, expressed through calming green tones, handcrafted batik, and refined details. The One Bedroom Cabana and Two Bedroom Signature Pool Residence reflect Eastern Indonesia through blue palettes, woven textiles inspired by Flores, and carefully considered design elements.
Throughout the property, artworks, handcrafted furnishings, decorative objects, and locally inspired materials celebrate artisans from across the Indonesian archipelago.
Culture is woven naturally into the stay through experiences inspired by Indonesia’s living traditions, including batik painting, storytelling, and traditional dance.
Inspired by Balance
Balance shapes everyday life at Nuju — between culture and lifestyle, wellbeing and everyday living, privacy and connection.
Wellness experiences include spa rituals, a sauna, cold plunge, and fitness facilities, offering moments to restore both body and mind.
At the heart of the property, Sana is a welcoming gathering place where Modern Australian cuisine is thoughtfully interpreted through the vibrant flavours of Asia. Guided by seasonal ingredients and honest, approachable cooking, Sana welcomes guests from morning through evening across its lounge, indoor dining room, tropical garden, and poolside.
At Nuju, every element is thoughtfully considered to create meaningful connections with the destination — from craftsmanship and culture to wellbeing, dining, and moments of stillness.
Now welcoming guests, Nuju Uluwatu brings together thoughtful design, meaningful experiences, and genuine hospitality in a setting inspired by the richness of Indonesia.
