MAKHNO Studio, in collaboration with SAI Architects, proudly presents 8SUN, an exquisite retreat spot on the enchanting island of Bali, nestled along the warm Indian Ocean coast. This unique hotel blends innovative interior design and captivating art, making it an ideal venue for weddings, honeymoons, and those seeking tranquility in one of the world’s most beautiful locations. With its breathtaking vistas and meticulously designed spaces, 8SUN promises an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
Perched on cliffs amidst lush jungles, 8SUN offers newlyweds an unparalleled honeymoon destination. The multi-level structure of the hotel, thoughtfully designed to navigate the steep slopes, features various tiers ranging from the poolside lounge area to rooftop terraces. Each level is crafted to provide easy movement and surprises guests with its unique design elements, making it the perfect escape for couples seeking both adventure and relaxation.
8SUN’s design philosophy emphasizes a deep connection with nature. The hotel’s numerous platforms and zones ensure stunning ocean views from every corner of the complex, fostering a sense of immersion in the natural surroundings. The use of natural materials such as stone, ceramics, and wood, complemented by occasional glass elements, enhances this connection. The entire complex is adorned with light clay plaster, beautifully blending Bali’s traditional style with MAKHNO’s contemporary touch.
At the core of 8SUN are two primary buildings: the Activity House and the Rest House. The Activity House features a variety of amenities, including a lobby, co-working space, conference hall, bar-restaurant, celebration hall, spa and relaxation area, extensive terraces, and a pool. The Rest House offers villas and hotel rooms designed for ultimate comfort. Surrounding these central buildings are terraces, relaxation niches, observation decks, swimming pools, and lush green spaces, creating a harmonious and intimate environment.
Upon entering the 8SUN complex, guests are greeted by the admin area and co-working space, flanked by a relaxation terrace adorned with unique ceramic furniture and art objects by MAKHNO. The restaurant tier, featuring a charming outdoor terrace, and a spacious 1000 m² conference hall built into the rock, provide versatile spaces for both weddings and business meetings. A fitness room covered with Balinese vine offers ocean views during workouts, while the general open pool with a large relaxation area invites guests to unwind. A standout feature is the wedding ceremony terrace on the administrative building’s roof, offering breathtaking views and stunning architectural highlights.
Each hotel room at 8SUN has a unique, rounded design, decorated with light clay plaster, soft rounded furniture, and Balinese interior elements such as vine lamps, woven rugs, and wooden decor. The rooms, available in sizes of 30 m², 50 m², and 70 m², offer ocean views ensuring privacy and retreat from the outside world. The largest rooms feature separate living and sleeping areas with artistically decorated ceramic sinks by MAKHNO, while open corridors adorned with hand-made ceramic sculptures harmonize each level of the hotel.
8SUN offers an intimate escape from the world. The privacy and serenity of the hotel complex, combined with its design and art, create a perfect synergy with Bali’s magical nature. For couples seeking a romantic getaway, 8SUN is a dream destination.
