InterContinental Bali Sanur Beach Resort, managed on behalf of PT Restu Maharani, a Jakarta-based company, is scheduled to open in late 2009. The new-build resort designed by award-winning architectural firm eco-id with interiors by Hadiprana will occupy seven hectares of beachfront property on the tranquil coastal village of Sanur. The luxury resort�s 104 rooms and suites will be located in low-rise cluster pavilions and will be complemented by 54 private villas, all featuring private pools with underwater seating, outdoor showers and private landscaped courtyards. The resort will also offer a wide selection of premium facilities, including a luxurious Spa InterContinental with spacious indoor and outdoor treatment areas, an all-day beachfront restaurant and specialty dining. InterContinental Bali Sanur Beach Resort will be the second InterContinental hotel on the island and sister property to the award-winning 418-room InterContinental Bali Resort on Jimbaran Bay.
  
The Holiday Inn Resort on Tuban (formerly the Balihai Resort & Spa) is a 200-room property set on three hectares of Balinese gardens with direct beach access. Managed by IHG on behalf of PT Menara Perdana, the resort�s opening later this year will mark the Holiday Inn brand�s entry to the island. Extensive refurbishments are underway to bring the property to Holiday Inn Resort brand standards. Facilities will include a Tea Tree Spa and a kids� club with extensive outdoor play area.

�Bali is one of Asia�s most popular destinations, attracting high-spending leisure travellers, corporate meeting attendees as well as families. IHG already manages a successful InterContinental resort on Jimbaran Bay and with these two new hotels, our guests can look forward to more choice of accommodations across two brands in three unique locations,� said Jan Smits, chief operating officer, Southern Asia and Korea, IHG Asia Pacific.
