Bali’s social scene gets an uplift with ISMAYA Group’s first beachfront establishment in Nusa Dua: Manarai Beach House
Manarai Beach House is Ismaya’s latest Bali outpost to enjoy this summer
Having been a market leader in the regional hospitality and entertainment industry for the past 15 years, ISMAYA Group now operates more than 80 outlets across Asia. Living up to its vision of “Creating the Good Life”, ISMAYA Group has recently added a whole new level of excitement with its first beachfront establishment: Manarai Beach House, located in Nusa Dua.
With access to crystal-clear waters and a pristine beachfront location, Manarai is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The seaside escape strikes a balance between traditional Balinese craftsmanship and contemporary modern architecture with its wooden and terrazzo design elements. Set on the calm shores of Nusa Dua, the space presents a seamless landscape from the indoor restaurant through the eclectic open-air dining space with its two freshwater pools, and onto the white sandy beach.
Run by Michelin-trained Executive Chef Stefan Poyet, Manarai offers an exclusive
selection of quintessential international comfort dishes and traditional Balinese specialties, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Chef Poyet’s 15-year culinary journey has included the highly acclaimed Michelin-star restaurants Senderens and L’abeille at Shangri-la Hotel, Paris. Using a blend of his French savoir-faire and creativity, Chef Poyet has created a menu that successfully appeals to the taste buds of his clientele.
Complementing the Manarai culinary experience is a selection of whimsical drinks, some of which refer back to the design of the beach house. With delicate Balinese ingredients, Manarai’s cocktails and mocktails are presented in a glamorous and modern style. Guests are also welcome to explore the wine cellar with its wall-to-wall selection of exquisite wines and champagnes, all of which are available for dine-in or takeaway.
Determined to always provide the worldclass entertainment that ISMAYA Group is known for, Manarai pairs a great gastronomic and drinking experience with exciting musical events. Within the past few months, Manarai has brought big-name acts such as Elrow,
Jonas Blue, Galantis, and many others. The grand opening of Manarai Beach House, which featured A$AP Rocky last April, also saw more than 2,300 party-goers pouring into the beach house. Offering the ideal setting for a perfect summer, during its regular period Manarai Beach House provides free entry and no minimum charge daybeds to its weekly DJ poolside sessions.
The venue has a capacity of 1,000 people standing and 550 people seated. Located in in Bali’s south, ISMAYA Group has sure aced it once again. For more information and reservations, visit www.ismaya.com/manarai or call +62 361 477 2727.
