Occupying 2.4 hectares of pristine coastline on the Nusa Dua Peninsula, the 261-room Chedi Sakala will be GHM\u2019s third property to debut on Bali.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The most expansive resort to date by luxury hotel management group<\/span> GHM<\/a> is set to welcome its first guests on the tranquil beaches of Tanjung Benoa at the end of 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Located on the northern tip of the peninsula, a 30-minute drive from Kuta, The Chedi Sakala will feature 247 suites and 14 private one- and two-bedroom pool villas, two swimming pools, a wellness spa, health club and lagoon bar. A Kids\u2019 Club will cater to youngsters, leaving parents free to explore the destination\u2019s famous coastline, water sports and local attractions.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Leading the group\u2019s newest five-star venture as its general manager is seasoned Australian hotelier Evan Pavlakis. Pavlakis, who was in semi-retirement when approached by GHM to lead this development, had previously spent five years as GHM\u2019s senior vice-president and served as general manager at The Leela Goa and The Lalu Taiwan.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI have worked with Evan for many years and I am confident that his experience, knowledge and global network of contacts will be invaluable as he spearheads this landmark project,\u201d said GHM President Hans R. Jenni.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Pavlakis brings more than four decades of international experience in the hospitality sector to his new post in Bali, including 26 years in general manager and vice-president positions with leading five-star hotel groups in locations such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and China.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\"Room<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve managed hotels in some of the most talked-about corners of the globe; but there is an untouched beauty about this stretch of shore that is impossible to resist,\u201d said Pavlakis. \u201cBenoa is Bali at its best.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The resort follows a well-known precedent set by GHM\u2019s two acclaimed properties on the island, The Legian Bali<\/a> in Seminyak and The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah<\/a> in Ubud. Also on the Nusa Dua Peninsula, GHM has partnered with Singapore\u2019s Sinni Villas to build the Chedi Nusa Penida in Crystal Bay. The 100-villa resort is scheduled to open in 2015.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
“Bali is an irresistible destination, both for travelers and hotel operators,” said Jenni. “Though we’re currently operating two other hotels on the island, with Sakala to debut at the end of the year, and a fourth to debut soon after, and yet a fifth on Nusa Penida under development, we have yet to fully tap our interest in the Island of the Gods.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
