Home away from home for ME travellers

Ametis Villa Bali is surely a tourist magnet. After all, who can resist holidaying at a hotel that offers the swankiest of villas with personal butlers and proximity to the best that nature has to offer. The Year-on-Year growing numbers of Middle Eastern travellers to this hotel stand testimony to the unmatched standards of this hotel in Canggu, a coastal village and 10km beach on the south coast of Bali, Indonesia.

Opened in 2011, Ametis Villa Bali is located in the coastal village of Canggu. It is one of the most elite luxury lifestyle hotels in the world, famous globally for the personal touch in its services and its villas well-equipped with all the modern amenities, running on latest technologies. Their primary markets are the countries of Asia and Asia Pacific, followed by those of Europe and the Middle East, and then come the travellers from the USA, domestic market and other countries, who constitute the emerging markets. The number of visitors from the Middle East has started growing since 2014, and with direct flight from UAE to Bali now, Ametis expects the number to now grow at a faster rate.

The main reason for the increasing popularity of the hotel among the Middle East holidaymakers is that Ametis is able to meet the high standards of the discerning guests from the region. For example, their luxury lifestyle villa structure makes the guests from the Middle Eastern countries feel at home away from home, with enough space, large private pools, personalized service with one personal butler for each villa etc. Further, as a part of Ametis’ popular trait of giving attention to detail, alcohol beverages are removed from mini bars provided to the guests from the Gulf region as most of them do not consume alcohol. The check-in and check-out formalities can be done in their villas and not at the reception, and if requested, female butlers are assigned as caretakers for them.

Akiko Yoshioka, General Manager, Ametis Villa, states, “Ametis Villa Bali’s personal butlers, who excel in gauging their guests’ needs and desires, are known to exceed expectations with their sincere Balinese hospitality. Hence, they are the perfect caretakers for our visitors from the Middle East countries, who expect the highest level of service, along with appropriate level of privacy.”

Spread over 7500 square metres of area and featuring 14 private villas, the serene resort promises a chance to experience escapism to travellers who seek a break from their mundane daily routine and need a place amidst Nature’s bounties for the same. Ametis has greenery all around and is only 5 minutes away from the breathtaking beach of the Indian Ocean. For those who want to spend most of the time at their villa, Ametis brings nature to them through their semi-outdoor living rooms, which open out into lush green lawns, with tall, dense trees all around. Even for art lovers, this hotel is the perfect choice because Canggu has rich cultural heritage and has quite a few historic destinations.

In the process of making their guest feel special and at home right from the word ‘Go’, the butlers establish contact with their assigned guests one week prior to their arrival in Bali and get familiar with them beforehand. They share their photo with the guests and the guests send the details of their preferences and needs so that the butler can get everything ready and organised for them in advance and offer them the relaxing stay that they deserve. This also takes away the guests’ anxiety of being in an unknown part of the world right from the moment they step down at the airport in Denpasar. They are already familiar with the little details and know who is going to take care of them right from the airport to the end of their vacation. Once the guests leave the premises, the butler sends a personal email to their assigned guest, asking them for their feedback on the services and thanking them for their stay so that there would be a long-lasting relationship.
