MĀUA Olea Ubud by Swiss-Belhotel Opens in Bali,
Blending Māori Spirit and Balinese Culture
BALI, INDONESIA — Swiss-Belhotel International continues to strengthen its presence within Bali’s premium hospitality segment through the expansion of its MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel brand portfolio with the soft opening of MĀUA Olea Ubud by Swiss-Belhotel, a luxury eco-friendly retreat rooted in Ubud’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
The MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel brand carries a unique philosophy inspired by Māori heritage, celebrating togetherness, connection, and shared experiences. Deeply connected to Ubud’s landscape, MĀUA Olea Ubud by Swiss-Belhotel harmonizes this Māori spirit with Bali’s philosophy of living in balance with people, nature, and the spiritual world. This milestone property represents more than a destination—it is a sanctuary shaped by culture and backed by a strong, enduring partnership between the property owners and Swiss-Belhotel International.
Mr. Gavin M. Faull, Chairman and President of Swiss-Belhotel International, shared his vision behind the brand’s philosophy: “The MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel brand was created to celebrate the Māori spirit of connection, respect, and togetherness. As we grow our presence in Indonesia, our vision is to enrich this philosophy by embracing the local heritage of our destinations. At MĀUA Olea Ubud by Swiss-Belhotel, this vision is beautifully represented by the name ‘Olea’—inspired by the olive tree, which symbolizes peace, resilience, and harmony. Ubud’s serene nature and deep-rooted culture make it the perfect home for this philosophy, allowing us to create a unique sanctuary where people and nature connect in perfect balance.”
Supporting this cultural vision, Mr. Ilkin Ilyaszade, Senior Vice President – Operations and Development, Indonesia at Swiss-Belhotel International, added: “This milestone expansion elevates the MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel brand while solidifying our position in Bali’s high-demand eco-luxury sector. It underscores our commitment to premium growth and highlights the immense potential we see for expanding the MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel portfolio across the region. We are confident MĀUA Olea Ubud by Swiss-Belhotel will drive exceptional value for our partners while setting a new benchmark for sustainable luxury hospitality.”
With Bali continuing to demonstrate strong tourism recovery and long-term market potential, Swiss-Belhotel International sees significant opportunities for the continued growth of the MĀUA brand. Building on its presence in Bali, the company aims to expand the MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel portfolio into emerging destinations across Indonesia, including Batam, Labuan Bajo, and Sumba, while also pursuing opportunities in international markets such as Vietnam and the Middle East. Through this expansion, MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel will continue to offer eco-luxury hospitality experiences that celebrate local culture, wellness, and a strong sense of place.
