PT Bali Penida Jaya held an exclusive Investor Dinner on March 14 at Hyatt Regency Sanur, attended by over 80 distinguished guests from the investment, hospitality, travel, and property sectors, to reveal the concept and the vision behind CROSS Celesta Nusa Penida, an upcoming eco-luxury resort.

Evan Burns, Country Manager Indonesia at CROSS Hotels & Resorts, shared the group’s vision for CROSS Celesta Nusa Penida and the strategic reasons behind selecting this project as part of their growing portfolio. His remarks highlighted the resort’s unique location, sustainable concept, and potential to redefine hospitality on Nusa Penida.

The evening marked a significant milestone in the resort’s development journey, offering guests a first look at the vision, design philosophy, and sustainable hospitality model behind CROSS Celesta Nusa Penida. Attendees were introduced to the architectural concept, inspired by Nusa Penida’s celestial beauty and rooted in Balinese tradition, as well as the long-term economic and community impact the project aims to deliver.

During the evening’s panel discussion, the core team behind CROSS Celesta shared their vision, philosophy, and strategy for the project. The conversation featured Evan Burns (Country Manager Indonesia, CROSS Hotels & Resorts), Ueli Wick (CEO, Escape Nomade), Alco Alisyaq (Principal, SHL Asia), Ivan Sindoro (Director, PT Bali Penida Jaya), and Gideon Tani Putra (Commissioner, PT Bali Penida Jaya). Together, they offered insights into the collaborative design process, the project’s deep cultural roots, and the long-term commitment to creating a resort that balances sustainability, luxury, and meaningful local impact.

Set atop the cliffs of Nusa Penida with panoramic views of Kelingking Beach and the Indian Ocean, the resort will feature 61 luxury tented villas, a fine dining farm-to-table restaurant, wellness facilities, an infinity pool, and cliff bar and event spaces, all designed to integrate seamlessly with the island’s natural terrain and cultural heritage.

A special atmosphere for the Investor Dinner was carefully crafted in collaboration with We Are Suka, whose expertise in immersive design and visual storytelling helped transform the evening into an extraordinary experience.

Momentum continued beyond the event, as the first investors and leading agency partners joined the project during and after the dinner, signalling strong market confidence in the resort’s potential and its innovative investment model.

More than just an introduction to the project, the dinner underscored CROSS Celesta’s deep commitment to local impact. With over 100 new jobs expected to be created for residents of Nusa Penida, the resort will offer secure employment and long-term career development opportunities, enabling locals to thrive within their community without relocating to the mainland.

“This dinner was more than a presentation—it was the beginning of a shared journey,” said Ivan Sindoro, Director of PT Bali Penida Jaya. “We’re excited to welcome our first investors and partners who see the potential of CROSS Celesta Nusa Penida to shape the future of sustainable luxury hospitality in Indonesia.”
