SKAI Bar & Grill opens at Padma Resort Legian

One of Bali’s most luxurious family-friendly resorts has opened a beautiful new restaurant with an infinity pool, coastal vibes and Mediterranean-inspired flavours. 

Taking in sweeping views of Legian Beach, the new SKAI Bar & Grill has opened at Padma Resort Legian, offering guests an elegant and contemporary setting inspired by classic open beach houses. Welcoming diners of all ages, SKAI presents a menu that blends modern Mediterranean and Levantine influences, showcasing wholesome ingredients such as olive oil, grains, legumes and sun-ripened vegetables. The menu is complemented by a crafted range of artisan cocktails, featuring herbal, aromatic and citrus notes infused with tropical island flavours.

The restaurant’s new terrace extends the beachside experience, designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, lush greenery and sculpted screens that capture the glow of Bali’s famous sunsets. Natural tones of driftwood grey and sandy taupe reflect the coastal palette, while the open-plan kitchen pavilion brings the dining experience to life, as chefs prepare signature cuts including Angus Tenderloin, Grass-Fed MB3+ and Pork Chop Pata Negra Ibérico over glowing embers.

Guests can further personalise their meal with a curated selection of artisan salts and enjoy SKAI’s celebrated house-made sourdough, a local favourite for its crisp crust and chewy crumb. With its infinity pool, live music, and striking coastal views, SKAI Bar & Grill promises a refined yet relaxed dining experience in Legian.

Padma Resort Legian is a rare gem. This luxurious beachfront retreat feels both indulgent and authentic. Set within almost seven hectares of tropical gardens, this five-star sanctuary balances seclusion with an unbeatable location on Legian Beach, just moments from Bali’s best shopping, nightlife and surf. Padma Resort Legian’s lush landscape features frangipani, palms and lotus ponds and eventually gives way to the ocean, creating a village-like atmosphere that draws guests into its depths. Each of the 437 elegantly appointed rooms and suites reflects Balinese artistry and modern conveniences, while five stunning swimming pools, from the meandering lagoon pool to the adults-only infinity pool overlooking the sea, invite guests to unwind beneath swaying palms. Celebrated for its blend of Balinese beauty and five-star amenities, Padma Resort Legian is one of the best resorts to stay at while visiting Bali.

The Spa at Padma

Kick off your holiday with a visit to The Spa at Padma Resort Legian. Taking inspiration from Bali’s ancient wellness rituals, signature treatments include the Nature Hair Spa and the Detox Facial, which draw on natural ingredients and modern techniques to restore balance and radiance. Try the Detox Facial, which gently purifies the skin using advanced technology and botanical products, leaving guests glowing from within. With softly lit interiors and the scent of frangipani in the air, The Spa is a haven where body and spirit find harmony.

For families

Families are warmly welcomed at Padma Resort Legian. The Wolly Kids Club and outdoor North Garden host daily activities including cycling, art and craft sessions, and fun fishing experiences that teach patience and an appreciation for nature. Guided by the resort’s attentive team, children can explore the Mini Farm, learn about recycling, and enjoy hours of imaginative play, while parents relax knowing their little ones are engaged, safe and happy.

Splash zone

Guests can choose from five swimming pools, each offering a different atmosphere or experience. The main pool features an innovative salt-chlorinated system, while the lagoon-style pool winds through tropical gardens. The family pool is located near the kids club and has slides and water spouts, while the adults-only infinity pool is quiet and luxurious. For those who prefer a beachfront view, SKAI’s own infinity pool is the place to sip, swim and soak up the sunset.
