Dior Takes Over Sundara Beach Club in Bali to Showcase Dioriviera Collection 2022

(18 July 2022, 10:45 +07)  Dior has opened its first retail space in Bali, with a partial buyout of Sundara Beach Club at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay.

Working with Dior’s interior designer Kingsmen Indonesia, Sundara’s entire dining and beach club space extending over two-floors and more than 1,300 square metres (approximately 14,000 square feet), has been transformed into a showcase of the new Dioriviera Collection 2022.

The temporary redecoration includes an underwater 57-metre-long (187 foot) artwork installation running the entire length of Sundara’s pool. It took scuba divers four days to install the artwork, featuring the Dioriviera logo and toile de Jouy design on the bottom of Bali’s longest beachfront pool.

A dedicated entrance to the pop-up store on Sundara’s Mezzanine level sets the tone for the Dioriviera 2022 Collection’s lush jungle theme, as life-size sculptures of wild animals pop out from tropical foliage.

Sundara stripped its Mezzanine level – removing all furniture, interior wall partitions and 16 chandeliers – to provide a blank canvas for Dior’s interior designer to install their own themed furniture, merchandising displays, fitting rooms and a café.

Even the walls, ceilings and poolside daybeds have been covered with Dioriviera’s toile de Jouy monochromatic tapestry for the duration of the six-week-long event.

“The scale of this high-end lifestyle event is a first for Bali, resulting from a landmark collaboration between Dior and Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay based on shared goals of delivering excellence in service and attention to detail,” said Mathilde Adam, Senior Director Sales and Marketing at Four Seasons Resorts Bali. “The timing is significant: it is the first major event since Bali opened its borders to the world after more than two years. We are thrilled to be selected as the venue for Dior’s first pop-up store and concept café in Indonesia, reflecting the renewed confidence of the international luxury market as Bali re-emerges with optimism, open arms, and the once-in-a-lifetime experiences that our resorts offer.”

Dior Café provides a culinary experience that taps into Bali’s relaxed yet chic resort style. While Sundara continues to serve its modern international and smoky barbecue flavours at the main dining areas on the ground level, the Dior Café on the Mezzanine welcomes diners for breakfast, lunch and dinner with 180-degree ocean views, and a private bar.

Dior’s Mediterranean-inspired menu was created by Four Seasons Executive Pastry Chef David Peduzzi and Sundara Chef de Cuisine David Gavin (former Chef de Cuisine at Mozaic Ubud) who drew on their French training and experience to meet Dior Paris’ culinary guidelines and precise requirements for each dish.

The café servers are Sundara staff, styled in Dior uniforms, to deliver the five-star service for which Sundara is renowned.

The Dior showcase at Sundara will run until 12 August 2022, from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm daily.
