Join us for a peek inside the villas that define Gapura Vista’s timeless charm.
The Vision Behind Gapura Vista
Renowned hotelier Robbert van der Maas—who has opened many luxury hotels across the globe—shares the inspiration behind this private residential enclave, where peace, privacy, and full-service living come standard. From his first Bali trip in 1985 to launching the Grand Hyatt, Robbert’s long view of the island shapes everything about the way he and Nina envisioned their homes here. Continue below to discover their two flagship villas within Gapura Vista: Villa Frangipani and Villa Tirta Kencana.
Villa Frangipani
Lush gardens, a massive pool, and a quiet elegance that feels like a private retreat from the world. Welcome to Frangipani—an invitation to slow down and soak in the magic of Bali’s southern coast.
Villa Tirta Kencana
Perched above the surf with panoramic ocean views, this sleek seven-suite villa brings modern design to a classic Balinese setting. Sunrise swims and sunset cocktails come with the territory.
