Hotel Openings / Renovations

Bali, Indonesia, 1 December 2014 – Furama Hotels International Management (FHI) completes rebranding of FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach, Seminyak, Bali. Formerly known as O-CE-N Bali, FHI has taken over the hotel management and rebranded the popular beachfront property. The hotel management group continues its ongoing improvements to enhance the guest experience.

Strategically located between Legian and Seminyak, FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach is the largest all-suite resort in this prime area with direct beachfront access. The property features 115 stylish and spacious rooms including studios, two-bedroom suites and three-bedroom penthouses ideal for those who want it all – space, comfort and incredible location. Designed with contemporary elements of the beach and ocean, all rooms include living areas, well-appointed bathrooms and full kitchenettes for suites. Guests enjoy modern amenities and facilities with swimming pool, whirlpool tubs, a full-service day spa and F&B establishments featuring Mediterranean, Asian and European cuisine – casual all-day beachside bistro The Deck Café, cocktails and tapas bar The Deck Bar & Lounge, fine-dining beachfront restaurant The Deck Seafood Grill and specialty takeaway The Deck Fish & Chips Shop.

Following the rebranding, FHI has launched One Island, Two Vacations – for couples and families to enjoy two different experiences in a single holiday. Guests may first visit the Legian/Seminyak beachfront resort for a thriving surfing, beach and nightlife scene, with cosmopolitan dining offerings. Thereafter, they may retreat to Furama Villas and Spa, located within the tranquil padi fields, immerse in the unique village culture, and explore the world-renown arts centre of Ubud. The Bali twin resorts package comes with the convenience of transfer to/from the airport and between the resorts, as well as various in-resort activities including spa treatments, cooking classes, in-villa BBQ private dinners, yoga, cycling, island tours and many more.

Welly Jamin, Vice President of Operations for FHI, shares: “As a beachfront property, FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach, Seminyak, Bali, will offer our guests more variety of accommodation, in addition to the two existing villa resorts in Ubud. With One Island, Two Vacations, we hope to give our guests a more well-rounded experience of the beautiful island of Bali. While Furama is already one of the biggest hospitality management companies in Singapore with more than 60 Furama, FuramaXclusive and FX hotels spread out over the key cities in the Asia Pacific region, feedback from our frequent guests in the FURAMAfirst membership loyalty programme indicates that they appreciate and value our increasing presence and network. As such, we continue to grow our portfolio, so as to offer more accommodation options for our loyal guests while enhancing their stay experience with continued improvements.”
