Perched above Gamat Bay with views toward Mount Agung, MAUA Nusa Penida continues to evolve as a refined retreat where modern design meets the island’s raw beauty. Since opening, the resort has deepened its wellness offerings, strengthened its sustainability practices, and introduced new spaces that invite guests to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their surroundings.
Accommodation at MĀUA balances modern architecture with local materials and outdoor living. The resort offers Premier Deluxe rooms overlooking forested landscapes, Junior Suites with private balconies, and a collection of one- and two-bedroom pool villas shaped by the site’s natural contours and mature trees. From intimate hideaways to expansive family-friendly villas with private pools, each space is both grounded and indulgent in design.
Dining continues to celebrate island produce and sourcing at Kōwhai, the resort’s all-day dining venue serving local flavours. New concepts now expand the experience, most notably the cliffside Jalak Deck: a multipurpose viewpoint designed for sunrise yoga, relaxed afternoons, and sunset dinners overlooking the ocean; making for a signature gathering place for guests.
Wellness remains central to the MĀUA experience. The resort spa already welcomes guests with restorative treatments, while the upcoming Pounamu Spa & Wellness concept will further enhance offerings with therapies, yoga spaces, meditation programs, and holistic wellness journeys designed for both renewal and reflection.
Sustainability is woven throughout the resort’s design and operations. Construction prioritised the preservation of limestone terraces and mature trees, while daily practices include reduced single-use plastics, water- and energy-saving systems, and close collaboration with local communities to ensure guest experiences support conservation and livelihoods on the island.
Beyond the resort, guests can explore Nusa Penida through experiences like snorkelling and diving trips, guided island tours to landmarks including Kelingking and Crystal Bay, cycling and hiking routes across dramatic terrain, hands-on Indonesian cooking classes, and daily yoga and meditation sessions on the ridge. Seasonal events hosted on the Jalak Deck add another layer to the island rhythm.
“At MAUA Nusa Penida, our vision is to create a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with themselves, with nature, and with the island’s authentic spirit,” said Sebastien Menesguen, General Manager. “Every detail, from the design of our villas to our sustainability initiatives, wellness programs, and new spaces like Jalak Deck, is crafted to offer experiences that are both luxurious and meaningful.”
