Regional communications partnership will support the March 2027 opening of the new design-led resort overlooking Jimbaran Bay

Petrie PR, a leading luxury lifestyle and hospitality communications consultancy across Asia and the Middle East, is delighted to welcome KARV, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa Jimbaran, Bali to its hospitality portfolio.

Slated to open in Q1 2027, KARV will bring a distinctive new expression of luxury to Jimbaran, one of Bali’s most enduring coastal destinations. Set on the cliffs overlooking Jimbaran Bay, the intimate resort brings together contemporary design, Balinese philosophy, art, gastronomy and wellness, creating a considered journey that draws from the character of its surroundings while offering a fresh perspective on the destination.

Designed by internationally acclaimed studio Yabu Pushelberg, KARV will feature ocean-facing suites and private villas. Its design takes inspiration from the sacred Kaja-Kelod axis of Balinese cosmology, unfolding as a journey from mountain to sea, with shifts in elevation, natural light and landscape gradually revealing new perspectives towards the ocean.

The guest experience will extend beyond the resort’s architecture through four expressions — Escape, Indulge, Dare and Engage — bringing together restorative wellness, gastronomy, art, cultural encounters and destination discovery. Together, they will offer different ways to experience both KARV and the wider character of Jimbaran, inviting guests to discover a different perspective on one of Bali’s most established coastal destinations.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience shaping the stories of luxury hospitality and lifestyle brands, Petrie PR will lead the resort’s regional communications ahead of its debut, with a strategic focus across Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Through strategic storytelling, meaningful media engagement and thoughtfully curated experiences, Petrie PR will introduce KARV’s distinctive character to key audiences across the region while establishing its place within Bali’s evolving hospitality landscape.

“Jimbaran holds a very special place within Bali’s hospitality story, which makes the opportunity to introduce a new resort here particularly exciting for us,” said Linda Petrie, Founder and Managing Director of Petrie PR. “As only the second Luxury Collection property on the island, KARV represents an exciting new chapter for the brand in Bali, while bringing a strong identity of its own to Jimbaran. Its connection to Balinese philosophy and the surrounding landscape is expressed through contemporary design, art, gastronomy and wellness in a way that feels considered and distinctive. We are delighted to welcome KARV to our portfolio and look forward to sharing its story with audiences across the region.”
