From INAYA Putri Bali to Merusaka: The Story of Our Reimagined Sanctuary

Halo! For those who hold fond memories of holidays spent at INAYA Putri Bali, and for new friends yet to visit our shores, we have exciting news. We want to share the beautiful evolution of our sanctuary. It is now Merusaka Nusa Dua. We know our previous name meant heartfelt hospitality and serene beach days to many. We truly cherish that history.

This is not a story of replacement. Instead, it is one of thoughtful reimagination. The soul of our resort remains the very heart of who we are. This includes the stunning beachfront location, lush gardens, and genuine warmth of our team. Our new name brings a renewed spirit. It deepens our commitment to creating an immersive experience. This celebrates Bali’s culture. Furthermore, it fosters a profound sense of inner peace.

Join us as we share our journey’s story. Discover what makes the Merusaka experience a beautiful new chapter. It’s for a much-loved destination.

Honoring Our Heritage as INAYA Putri Bali

Every great story has a strong foundation. Our journey began as INAYA Putri Bali. Many loved this name for its Balinese grace in the heart of Nusa Dua. We extend our deepest gratitude to all past guests. They created lasting memories with us under that name. The core elements you cherished are our pillars. Merusaka builds on them. They will always remain.

The Reimagination: The Birth of Merusaka, “The First Nirvana”

We envisioned an even deeper, more profound guest experience. Thus, we embarked on a journey of thoughtful evolution. This led to our new name, Merusaka. It carries a very special and significant meaning.

The Meaning of Merusaka

The name Merusaka itself holds a beautiful and spiritual promise: “The First Nirvana.” This concept represents perfect peace, happiness, and liberation from the outside world. It is the ultimate goal of a serene journey. This is our guiding philosophy. It promises that a stay with us is more than just a holiday. It’s an experience designed to bring you blissful tranquility. Find your own personal nirvana on Bali’s shores.

The Design of Nirvana

Our resort’s design captures this philosophy. The magnificent open-air lobby inspires it. It takes cues from a traditional Balinese lumbung (rice barn). The acclaimed firm Urbane Indonesia led this key part of the redesign. They created it to immediately immerse you in cultural prosperity. It also frames the serene ocean view from your arrival.

The Soul of the Sanctuary: Inspired by a Legendary Village

The spirit of “The First Nirvana” weaves into our resort’s very fabric. It draws deep inspiration from the legendary Penglipuran Village. It also embraces its core philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. This means harmony with God, people, and nature.

A Journey Through Seven Ancient Villages

Our seven main accommodation blocks each bear a name. They reflect one of Bali’s ancient villages. These include Penglipuran, Tenganan, and Trunyan. We honor the island’s most enduring communities. Each block features a unique gate (angkul-angkul). Its architecture is inspired by its namesake village. Therefore, a walk through our resort becomes a symbolic journey. You explore Balinese heritage.

The Spiritual Heart

The Merusaka Temple stands on our grounds. It provides a spiritual heart to our sanctuary. This represents an authentic integration of the Parahyangan principle. This means harmony with God. It is vital to life in Bali.

A Warm Welcome to Past, Present & Future Guests

Whether you cherish fond memories of INAYA Putri Bali, or are discovering us for the first time as Merusaka, a warm welcome awaits you. Step into our sanctuary.

To Our Past Guests

We invite you to return. Experience this beautiful evolution. You will find the familiar warmth and stunning location you loved. Now, it is enhanced with a deeper story. It also has a renewed commitment. This creates a state of perfect peace.

To Our New Guests

We welcome you to a unique resort. It offers the best of both worlds. You gain a rich history of renowned hospitality. This combines with a profound new vision. It dedicates itself to helping you find your “First Nirvana.”

Conclusion: A New Chapter for a Beloved Sanctuary

The journey from INAYA Putri Bali to Merusaka Nusa Dua tells a story of respectful evolution. It moves towards a deeper meaning. It honors a beloved past. Simultaneously, it embraces a future. This future dedicates itself to providing an even more immersive, serene, and culturally rich experience. The soul of our sanctuary is stronger than ever. We are incredibly excited to share this new chapter and our promise of “The First Nirvana” with you.

We look forward to welcoming you (or welcoming you back) to create new, peaceful memories at Merusaka Nusa Dua.

Protecting Our Oceans, Merusaka Nusa Dua Hosts Beach Cleanup on World Ocean Day

Nusa Dua, Bali – In celebration of World Ocean Day, Merusaka Nusa Dua hosted a beach cleanup activity on Sunday, June 8, 2025, as part of its ongoing commitment to environmental

sustainability. The event began at 6:00 AM on the hotel’s beachfront area along the picturesque Mengiat Beach.

The initiative brought together hotel staff and guests in a shared effort to protect and preserve the beauty of Bali’s coastline. Mengiat Beach, like many others in the region, often experiences an accumulation of waste, including plastic debris, food packaging, driftwood, and other items carried by the wind and ocean currents.

“At Merusaka, we believe that sustainability is a shared responsibility. This beach cleanup was not just an event—it was a reflection of our values and a small but meaningful step toward a cleaner, healthier ocean,” said Ian Cameron, General Manager of Merusaka Nusa Dua.

The cleanup raised awareness about ocean conservation and the urgent need to reduce plastic and other waste pollution. It also offered guests a meaningful opportunity to engage in eco-conscious travel by contributing to a cleaner and healthier marine environment during their stay.

Participants were provided with all the necessary tools to support the cleanup effort. Following the activity, everyone enjoyed a selection of light refreshments served by the beach—a relaxing moment to connect with others and appreciate the ocean they had just helped clean and protect.

This event was one of many sustainability actions Merusaka Nusa Dua proudly implements as part of its green hospitality program.
