Located in Ungasan, at the southern tip of Bali, Umana Bali (formerly Jumana Bali Ungasan Resort) is a hospitality unit of PT Surya Semesta Internusa Tbk (SSIA). It is the first resort in Southeast Asia under the luxury brand LXR Hotels & Resorts, managed by Hilton, a leading hotel brand based in Beverly Hills, California.

Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts features 72 villas spread across 10 hectares, designed with terraced levels on limestone cliffs, providing stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The terraced design is reminiscent of uma, or ancient rice paddies, which inspired its name.

Umana Bali also presents a unique interpretation of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, which highlights the harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and the divine. It believes that well-being and happiness naturally arise when these three pillars are in balance.

"Not only is it beautiful, but our hotel guests can also easily visit one of the most sacred and revered sites on the island, Pura Uluwatu, which is just a short distance from the resort. Our resort is also conveniently located only 45 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport," said Johannes.
