Kemewahan yang tenang, jiwa Indonesia.
Bascara Hospitality is the top affordable luxury operator in Indonesia — a seasoned hospitality and finance team running boutique resorts and liveaboards from Bali outward, built on the Sanskrit word Bhaskara, meaning light.
"Bascara" takes its name from the Sanskrit Bhaskara, meaning light. It's a fitting name for an operator that took shape inside a working resort rather than a boardroom: Bascara Hospitality is backed by a seasoned team spanning hospitality operations, finance, and marine services, with a track record already proven at Samsara Ubud and Samsara Samudra.
Every guest touchpoint held to a standard worth the rate we charge for it.
