Influential lifestyle brand Savaya set to lead the concept and experience development for Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali Resort & Residences

Savaya Group has been selected by international developer Taryan Group to lead the concept and experience development within Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali Resort & Residences, an ultra-luxury beachfront destination operated under the Anantara brand.

This collaboration brings together one of Bali’s most influential lifestyle brands, Savaya, and a project recognised as the Best in the World in New Hotel Construction & Design at the International Property Awards.

Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali is located on the first oceanfront line in Seseh—one of the island’s most promising coastal destinations—just minutes from Canggu. Prime beachfront land here is extremely limited, creating a natural supply constraint.

The architecture of the complex, inspired by the form of a dragon and designed by acclaimed British architect John Dawes, establishes a landmark silhouette set to become a new icon of Bali. The five-star resort operates under the Anantara brand, managed by global hotel operator Minor Hotels, and features unparalleled luxury infrastructure on the island, including three swimming pools, a spa & wellness center, a fitness club, a yoga studio, and a helipad.

As part of the partnership, Savaya Group will be responsible for the concept development and operational management of a signature restaurant, bars, and lounge spaces. For the investment community, the Savaya–Anantara Dragon collaboration represents an embedded mechanism for traffic generation and the formation of an active community—one of the key drivers of stable occupancy among high-spending clientele.

“We’ve spent years operating at the highest level in Bali, understanding not just the guest, but the rhythm of the island itself,” says Alex Cordova, co-founder of Savaya Group. “Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali represents the next iteration of Savaya Group. In partnership with Taryan Group, this marks our expansion beyond nightlife into fully integrated hospitality, where food and beverage, design, and atmosphere are central to the experience and embedded into the DNA of the property from the very beginning.”

“A project recognised as the best in the world requires the best partners,” comments Artur Mkhitaryan, founder and CEO of Taryan Group. “The involvement of Savaya Group not only ensures that Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali remains beyond competition, but also strengthens the project’s operational resilience and long-term investment appeal.”

The integration of one of Bali’s most recognisable brands into the strategic framework of Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali reinforces its long-term vision. In an increasingly competitive market, the synergy of a strong developer, an international hotel brand, and a lifestyle operator becomes a decisive factor in capital appreciation.

Anantara Dragon Seseh Bali is positioned not merely as a resort, but as a branded oceanfront investment asset with a distinct architectural identity and a built-in demand-generation model.
