Welcome to AURA Wellness Resort

Vision

AURA Wellness Resort is where beauty meets value: a sanctuary that rewards both the senses and the mind. Every moment feels like an escape. Every choice, an investment in lasting wellbeing.

The building is cut into a hillside above the Bali Sea. Twelve floors, a 43 metre vertical drop, and a landscape that was there long before the architecture. Nothing was flattened to make room.

Peace of Mind

A different resort after sunset

AURA Wellness Resort is conceived as an iconic five-star resort: a living landmark designed to be recognized, remembered and spoken about. Created by award-winning architects, it is not simply a hotel, but a destination in itself, shaped to stand out in both form and feeling.

By day, the resort feels open, elegant and naturally integrated into its surroundings. As night falls, it transforms. Light softens, atmosphere deepens, and the experience becomes intimate, sensory and almost dreamlike: a different resort after sunset. Arrival is ceremonial. Guests pass through a monumental stone portal at the roadside, leaving the outside world behind as the experience begins.

Water flows through the resort like quiet streams, subtly illuminated by plankton-inspired blue light. After dark, hidden mist systems, candlelight, lanterns and dynamic lighting activate, transforming architecture and landscape into a scenographic universe. The resort is designed to be photogenic, emotional and unforgettable: a place guests return to, share, and remember. A landmark that defines its surroundings and raises the standard for what a five-star wellness resort can be.

Shared vision

A development built not only for returns, but for meaning: connecting lifestyle, growth, and purpose in one timeless destination.

Prime location

Situated about 30 minutes from the proposed site of North Bali’s planned international airport, positioning the project for exceptional accessibility and long-term demand growth.

Community impact

Each project supports the local economy through employment, training, and sustainable building practices that give back to Bali’s people and culture.

Where lifestyle meets long-term value

With a proven track record in Bali’s real estate market, our projects combine solid returns, growing demand, and long-term value creation.

In their words

I have followed the project from the sidelines, and it is seriously impressive to see what they have created.

I have no financial interest in the project. I just think it’s great to back good friends when they build something they truly believe in.

Ten universes, one descent

A world within the resort

AURA Wellness Resort is designed as a fully integrated resort where life unfolds within the landscape. From wellness and movement to dining, social life and recovery, every experience is part of a cohesive whole.

Guests do not need to leave the resort to find balance, energy or connection. Everything is within reach, carefully curated and naturally connected, creating a seamless rhythm from morning rituals to evening gatherings.

This integration is what defines AURA Wellness Resort. A place where experiences are not scattered, but intentionally composed to support presence, comfort and long-term value.

Ten universes, from the door at the top of the hill down to the gym at minus thirty-two metres. Each drawn in both day and night.

Different universes in one state of mind

Facilities

Each space within AURA Wellness Resort is its own universe, shaped by its own rhythm, purpose and emotion: the stillness of NANGIJALA, the power of NĀMA, the table at UMI, the heat and water of AYLA, and the shared spaces between them (arrival and lobby, the main pool, The Study, podcast studios).

UMI

Michelin-level dining and social life

At UMI, a Michelin-trained chef brings Neo-Arabian flavors to a shared social table, where refined technique meets the spirit of Bali.

UMI is the culinary signature and social heart of AURA Wellness Resort, created with a Michelin-trained chef. A free-standing oval building over four levels, it steps from a 620 sqm rooftop at lobby level down to the main pool.

Refined Neo-Arabian cuisine, floating breakfasts and sunset cocktails carry the day into night. As destination dining, UMI draws external guests and revenue beyond the room rate.

  • Floating breakfastsFloating breakfasts designed as a signature guest experience.

Lovina, Bali

The next chapter of Bali

Set on Bali’s tranquil northern coast, Lovina is where the island’s natural beauty meets a new wave of development and opportunity. Once known for its calm beaches and wild dolphins, it’s now evolving into one of Bali’s most exciting investment frontiers.

On Bali’s tranquil north coast, near the proposed site of the island’s planned second airport, lies Lovina, a coastline known for its calm waters, black-sand beaches, and glowing waves at night. A place where time slows down and nature lights the way.

North Bali

Top-tier potential

North Bali is seeing rapid growth in high-end hospitality and branded villa investment projects.

Luxury meets nature

Lush mountains, black-sand beaches, coral reefs, and hot springs within 20 minutes.

Upgraded infrastructure

New road links, a planned marina zone and a proposed port are improving access.

Planned international airport

A planned North Bali airport could transform tourism and property demand in the region.

Authentic Bali energy

A slower rhythm, stronger culture, and an emerging luxury scene that’s attracting global investors.

Dolphin coast mornings

Wild dolphin tours at sunrise, where calm seas and golden light create Lovina’s most iconic view.

North Bali’s planned international airport

Bali’s next phase of growth

The planned international airport in North Bali would mark a major shift in Bali’s investment landscape. By opening the northern region to direct international access, it would position North Bali as the island’s next phase of growth, combining untapped potential with rising demand for premium hospitality.

For investors, this marks a transition from mature markets in the south to a new frontier with long-term value creation.

30–40 minHelicopter from Denpasar

Direct helicopter access

For guests arriving via the existing international airport in Denpasar, AURA Wellness Resort plans to offer direct helicopter transfers to the resort. The flight is expected to take about 30 to 40 minutes and would provide fast, private access aligned with AURA Wellness Resort’s premium positioning.

Work has moved on to retaining walls and road access in several zones, while Strauss piles are fabricated on site and the workers’ barracks go up.

The retaining walls are built by hand: 44 stone workers lay natural stone course by course, reinforced with steel, bound with concrete poured on site, while 26 workers fabricate the piles. The architects’ drawings are held against the land.

SAI Architects

Architecture shaped for AURA Wellness Resort

SAI Architects is a forward-thinking architecture and interior design studio founded in 2020 by Ukrainian architect Anastasiia Shalun. Based in Bali and Ukraine, with a globally distributed team, SAI delivers design-led projects across hospitality, private villas and high-end residential developments.

We have worked closely with SAI Architects to translate AURA Wellness Resort’s vision into a coherent architectural system: one that dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, and creates architecture deeply connected to its natural surroundings. SAI’s work combines sustainability, innovation and emotional experience, resulting in spaces that feel natural, grounded and built to last.

In collaboration with SAI Architects, AURA Wellness Resort has been designed as a fully integrated resort landscape, where architecture, nature and human movement merge into one continuous experience.

The masterplan follows the natural terrain, opening the resort toward light, air and views. Curved, organic forms create a calm yet iconic architectural identity that is immediately recognizable.

Clear circulation, efficient construction systems and scalable structures ensure long-term durability, operational efficiency and investment resilience.

The result is architecture that is not only visually distinctive, but engineered for longevity, operation and lasting value.

Shared vision. Proven results

Coco Development Group and Amara Development Group represent a unified approach to design-led development in Bali, blending years of market experience with a new generation of innovation and investor focus. Their shared foundation combines operational strength, creative direction and a deep understanding of Bali’s evolving property landscape.

Spa partner

AYLA, in the best Scandinavian hands

When we set out to build the spa at AURA Wellness Resort, we asked one question: who in Scandinavia understands heat, water and recovery better than anyone? The answer was Denform.

Scandinavia’s most premium sauna and spa brand, rooted in Danish wellness since 1979, Denform advises us on the entire spa. Every sauna, the steam room, the hot and ice baths, down to the last bench and stone. The standard Denmark’s most demanding hotels rely on, now brought to North Bali.

Only the best is good enough for AURA. That is why Denform.

Spa and wellness delivered to Danish hotels such as
