Sea Sentosa is a collaborative project between some of the world's most highly regarded designers, who have put their heads and hearts together to create something extraordinary.
“Our vision is to work with Maurice Terzini and bring Icebergs to an international resort setting. Icebergs is recognised throughout the world for the dining and visual experience that it represents – it is unforgettable to all that have experienced it. Icebergs has a very special and unique audience, where global superstars hang with local surfers to create a dynamic that is unique to what Maurice has created,” said Ian Duffell, CEO and Saxon Looker, Founder of Sentosa Worldwide Resorts. “Sea Sentosa has been created to bring a similar lifestyle to the world stage and in doing so, this partnership will ensure an experience that is truly remarkable and will become a global destination.”
VISION FOR ICEBERGS BEACH CLUB BRAND AND EXPERIENCE
In developing the concept for Icebergs Canggu, Maurice and his design team have drawn particular inspiration from the iconic photography of Slim Aarrons from the 50's, 60's and 70's; glamour and enjoyment in an idyllic setting with an experience that is both accessible as well as inspirational. Maurice has again partnered with Claudio Lazzarini and Carl Pickering at Lazzarini Pickering Architetti in Rome, who, in addition to award-winning work on the design of Icebergs Dining Room and Bar in Bondi, count Fendi and Burberry among their clients.“I have been travelling to Bali for almost three decades. I have been waiting for the right opportunity and this is it! Very excited,” said Maurice Terzini.
“Icebergs Beach Club Canggu at Sea Sentosa is our first international outpost and the beginning of a global business relationship that Maurice Terzini and I have long planned. Maurice is a master at creating an environment and experience that is incomparable to any other in the world,“ said Deke Miskin. “The team at Sea Sentosa have created a Resort environment that is innovative in both design and their approach to what will be on offer for their guests, creating a global destination and something very unique in Bali and the world over. It is an ideal partnership for us.”
SEA SENTOSA
Located directly on the beachfront at Echo Beach, Sea Sentosa will open in early 2015. Set on 2.8 hectares of beachfront property, the fully integrated resort will provide guests with a choice of 44 one bedroom apartments, 11 two bedroom apartments, 12 Penthouses, 8 Deluxe Studios, 17 Garden Studios, 36 Hotel Rooms and 2 two bedroom Premium Suites. The Resort has already received international accolades, winning WORLD'S BEST APARTMENT at the International Property Awards in December 2012 in London.After 21 years at the helm of ambitious resorts projects, Sentosa Worldwide Resorts Founder Saxon Looker has the unique ability to see a completed development in his minds eye and assemble just the right talent to create his vision in everything from design to culture and service.
Architect Giacomo Passera has successfully been able to blend Sea Sentosa into the local environment. Each fully appointed apartment is an example of Italian design coupled with the finest local Indonesian materials. Sculpted vertical garden walls by French botanist Patrick Blanc will be complemented beautifully by curated art. Expansive outdoor terraces and balconies provide panoramic views of the Indian Ocean beachfront and sculpted volcanic rocks.
Sea Sentosa is 45 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from Nirwana Golf and Country Club designed by Greg Norman, and 15 minutes from the cosmopolitan heart of Bali, Seminyak. Surfers travel thousands of miles to surf Canggu, with residents and guests of Sea Sentosa only having to walk a few metres to choose between a beach break or reef break.
THE COLLABORATION
SAXON LOOKER: With more than 22 years experience in creating ambitious resort projects, Sentosa Worldwide Resorts Founder Saxon Looker has the unique ability to see a completed development in his minds eye, assembling just the right talent from around the world to realise his vision in everything, from design to culture and service. In 2007, he completed the multi-award winning Sentosa Private Villas and Spa in Seminyak. In 2008 Saxon teamed up with architects Giacomo Passera from Italy and local Balinese rising star Putu Edy Semara.IAN DUFFELL: As CEO of Sentosa Worldwide Resorts, Ian brings a wealth of experience and direction to the group. Ian worked with Richard Branson for 12 years, initially as the CEO of Virgin Asia Pacific and then as the CEO of the Virgin Entertainment Group in the USA. Ian has been at the helm of the Sentosa Worldwide Resorts since 2009.
GIACOMO PASSERA: Italian architect Giacomo Passera's unique style has been appreciated in Italy, USA, China, Russia and the French Riviera, Giacomo has been especially creative in blending Sea Sentosa into the local environment. Each fully appointed apartment is an example of Italian design, coupled with the finest local Indonesian materials. One of the unique abilities displayed by Giacomo as both an architect and an interior designer is in seamlessly blending the interior and exterior spaces.
PUTU EDY SEMARA worked as the project architect on the award winning Sentosa Private Villas and Spa in Seminyak and is arguably the most dynamic young architect working in Indonesia today. His environmental appreciation and sensibility allow him to design with the feeling and sense of sanctuary for the Sea Sentosa project.
PATRICK BLANC is the esteemed French botanist, scientist and designer that pioneered the concept of the vertical garden wall - an innovative technique for growing plants on vertical surfaces without the use of soil. His work can be seen on walls around the globe. Blanc states, “I gather inspiration every day from nature” which is inspiring to the majority of us who are simply not used to seeing buildings adorned with greenery to such an extent. Blanc uses his profound knowledge of the world's extensive selection of plant life, particularly drawing inspiration from flora found in Thailand, Hawaii and Bali.
