At Masmara, design isn’t just about what you see. It’s about how you feel the moment you arrive. Every detail, from the curve of a wooden chair to the way the breeze flows through a room, is chosen to create a sense of balance between comfort, beauty, and the natural rhythm of Pererenan Beach.
Our philosophy is simple: design should enhance the experience, not distract from it. Here’s how architecture, interiors, and nature come together to create the Masmara aesthetic.
Architecture that Breathes with the Landscape
When we began shaping Masmara, we knew we didn’t want a structure that dominated its surroundings. Instead, we worked with architects to design buildings that feel like they’ve always belonged here. Low-rise forms, open layouts, and generous use of natural materials help Masmara blend seamlessly into the coastal landscape.
Large windows and sliding doors aren’t just for the view. They’re part of our approach to natural ventilation. By letting the sea breeze move freely, we reduce reliance on air conditioning while keeping interiors cool and fresh.
Interiors that Invite You to Stay a While
Inside, our design leans toward minimal luxury, a style that values space, calm, and thoughtful craftsmanship over excess. Furniture is chosen not only for its beauty but for the comfort it brings after a day spent exploring Canggu.
Warm wood tones, textured fabrics, and locally crafted decor pieces create an atmosphere that feels both refined and lived-in. We avoid clutter, allowing each element to have its place and purpose.
Nature as a Design Partner
We see the surrounding environment as a collaborator in our design process. Tropical plants soften architectural lines and provide natural shade. The sound of the waves is a backdrop you can hear from your terrace. At night, the scent of frangipani drifts through open windows.
Even our lighting design works with the natural cycle, bright and airy by day, warm and ambient by night, creating a sense of ease as the day winds down.
A Sense of Place in Every Corner
We believe a resort should reflect where it is, not just offer a generic idea of luxury. That’s why we collaborate with local artisans for many of our interior elements. Handwoven textiles, ceramic tableware, and custom-made furniture are pieces with stories; each one connecting guests to Bali’s creative community.
Design for the Guest Experience
Every design choice we make comes back to one question: How will this make our guests feel? We want you to wake up to light-filled rooms, move easily between indoor and outdoor spaces, and feel a sense of calm with every step you take.
Our pool isn’t just a place to swim. It’s framed to catch the afternoon sun. Our dining spaces at Kilo Kitchen Pererenan are arranged so you can enjoy both the food and the view. And our rooms are designed to give you privacy without losing the connection to the natural world outside.
Why It Matters
Design is more than aesthetics; it’s the framework for every memory you make here. By blending architecture, interiors, and nature, we’ve created a space where nothing feels forced, and everything feels intentional. Masmara isn’t about being flashy. It’s about making you feel at home in a place you’ve never been before.
At Masmara, we see design as hospitality’s silent partner — shaping your experience in ways you might not notice but will always feel. From the moment you arrive until your last sunset here, our goal is simple: to create a setting where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and feel connected to the beauty around you.
