Walk into the open-air lobby of Hyatt Regency Bali and the first thing you notice is the roof: a rustic thatched alang-alang (elephant grass) canopy, remodelled to echo the property's original design and expanded so that guests get wider views across the gardens towards the Indian Ocean. That roof is a deliberate link to the past. The resort operated for around 45 years as the Bali Hyatt, then closed for a five-year revitalisation before reopening under the Hyatt Regency name on 20 December 2018, according to Hyatt's own announcement of the reopening.
The setting is the other half of the story. The resort is spread across more than 22 acres of land on what Hyatt describes as the area's widest beachfront, with tropical gardens designed by the landscape artist Made Wijaya and featuring more than 500 plant species. Local materials and traditional craftsmanship run through the interiors, including hammered copper, rattan, bamboo, batik printing blocks and repurposed Balinese wood and stone carvings.
Traveloka lists Hyatt Regency Bali as a 5-star resort at Jalan Danau Tamblingan 89 in Sanur, on Bali's south-east coast, with 363 rooms spread over four floors. It is a large, full-service resort rather than a boutique hideaway, which means plenty of space for families, couples, wedding parties and conference groups to share the grounds without feeling crowded. Its low-rise layout keeps the buildings below the treeline, so the gardens rather than the architecture set the tone.
All 363 rooms at Hyatt Regency Bali sit within the resort's low-rise wings, and Hyatt gives the overall room size range as roughly 290 to 871 sq ft (about 27 to 81 square metres). Traveloka's listing does not break the inventory down into named tiers, so the exact categories, views and bed configurations on offer for your dates are best checked in the room selector on the property page.
The majority of the inventory is made up of guest rooms rather than suites. Traveloka lists the property as having air conditioning and non-smoking rooms, and the resort's general facility list includes terraces. Rooms typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom; for per-room amenities such as bed type, bathtub or view, see the individual room cards on the listing before you book, as these vary between categories.
According to Hyatt, the resort has 39 one-bedroom suites of up to 753 sq ft (around 70 square metres). Each suite has a separate living room, and Hyatt describes them as having spacious balconies. The suites suit guests who want a distinct lounge area for longer stays, honeymooners who prefer extra room, or parents who want a little separation from children in the evening.
Hyatt Regency Bali has a Regency Club Lounge. Hyatt states that lounge access includes a private concierge, complimentary breakfast, all-day snacks, and evening cocktails and canapés. Club access is tied to specific room types or rates, so check the inclusions shown on each room option on Traveloka rather than assuming every booking carries it.
Traveloka lists family rooms at the property, along with accessibility features including an accessible bathroom, accessible parking and wheelchair access, and describes the resort as disabled-access friendly. If you need a particular configuration, such as a room close to the lift or on the ground floor, it is worth adding a special request after booking and confirming with the resort directly.
The pool area is the centrepiece of Hyatt Regency Bali's leisure offer. Hyatt describes three pools: a lap pool, a children's pool, and a main pool surrounded by overhanging bougainvillea, where guests can swim through a replica of Goa Gajah, the 9th-century "elephant cave" temple near Ubud, carved out of volcanic rock. Traveloka's listing also records a waterslide, beach towels and a private beach.
Shankha Spa is the resort's wellness space. Hyatt describes it as having ten spa suites, treatment and relaxation areas, a yoga studio, a juice bar, and hot and cold plunge pools. The fitness centre, which Hyatt says is open 24 hours a day, has floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the grounds.
Children are well catered for. Camp Hyatt, the kids' club, has an outdoor playground, an indoor playroom and daily cultural activities, according to Hyatt. Traveloka additionally lists a children's play area, supervised childcare and babysitting (with a surcharge).
For events, Hyatt lists a 5,037 sq ft ballroom for up to 600 guests, four multifunctional spaces of between 1,000 and 3,487 sq ft for 25 to 150 guests, and a 2,583 sq ft courtyard for up to 120 guests. Traveloka also records a business centre, conference room, banquet facilities and a wedding service.
Hyatt Regency Bali's address is Jalan Danau Tamblingan 89, Sanur, Bali 80228. Hyatt describes the resort as centrally located in Sanur, and its beachfront position puts the sand and the sea a short stroll from the rooms. Sanur sits on Bali's south-eastern coastline, and its calmer, family-oriented pace is a contrast to the busier beach towns further west.
Hyatt gives the drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport as about 22 minutes, though Bali traffic can stretch that considerably at peak times, so allow extra time for a departing flight. Travellers from Singapore arrive through the same airport; to time your trip, you can compare flights to Bali on Traveloka and match your arrival to the resort's 15:00 check-in.
The real Goa Gajah temple that inspired the resort's pool lies near Ubud in central Bali, which makes a natural day trip once you have settled in.
Dining at Hyatt Regency Bali centres on three named outlets described by Hyatt when the resort reopened:
Outlet names and opening hours can change over time, so check the latest line-up with the resort during your stay. Traveloka's listing records a bar, room service, a breakfast restaurant and restaurant service for lunch and dinner. Meal formats listed include a buffet breakfast, a continental breakfast, à la carte and set-menu lunches, and à la carte and set-menu dinners.
Breakfast is listed on Traveloka both as a facility and as a surcharge item, which means it is included with some rates and charged separately on others. Look for the breakfast label on each room option before you confirm, particularly if you are booking for a family. Guests with Regency Club access have breakfast in the lounge as part of the club benefits described by Hyatt.
Away from the resort, Sanur has its own dining scene along the seafront and the main road. If you want to round out your trip with cooking classes, food tours or island excursions, you can browse things to do around Bali on Traveloka.
The strongest argument for Hyatt Regency Bali is how much heritage it carries into a modern resort. You are staying somewhere that welcomed guests as the Bali Hyatt for around four and a half decades, and the reopened resort keeps that identity visible through the thatched alang-alang lobby, the Made Wijaya gardens and the use of local craft in its interiors.
It suits multi-generational families who want a single resort with something for everyone, couples looking for Sanur's slower rhythm, and groups planning a beach wedding or offsite. If you want to weigh it against other options before deciding, you can compare more hotels in Bali on Traveloka.
Bali holidays often combine a beach base with time inland, so many travellers pair a stay here with a few nights in Ubud or the hills. When you are ready to put the whole trip together, start planning from the Traveloka homepage.
