Balesin Island Club recently introduced Balesin Key, an exclusive membership offering designed to redefine luxury living. Balesin Key expands Alphaland’s prestigious portfolio for its members, providing access to two new destinations beyond Balesin Island – Balesin City and Balesin Pines.
Balesin City is an urban retreat where business and leisure seamlessly coexist. Formerly known as The City Club, the facility has all the amenities for its members to enjoy, including business lounges, wide event spaces, and specialty restaurants – most are the same restaurants in Balesin Island. The property’s expansive fitness and recreational facilities ensure members’ well-being is never compromised.
If one craves fresh mountain air, then the all-new Balesin Pines provides members with a tranquil getaway. With 18 accommodations, an equipped gym, and the signature Leea Spa, this mountainside retreat is where relaxation takes center stage. With nature’s soundtrack setting the mood for reflection and serenity, Balesin Pines allows Balesin Key members to recharge in complete comfort.
One key, three worlds
“Balesin Key is more than a membership; it’s our members’ passport to three extraordinary worlds that provide a complete lifestyle,” says Joanna Ongpin Duarte, Balesin spokesperson. “This new share allows members access to the tropical island escapes in Balesin Island, the cosmopolitan elegance of Balesin City, and the mountain serenity in Balesin Pines. Our members can experience seamless luxury across our three distinct properties with just one key.”
Balesin Island has elevated its appeal with beautifully refreshed villas, eco-friendly innovations, and a variety of leisure activities. The villas in Balesin Village now feature a light, airy atmosphere with elegant finishes, expertly curated by head of design Rico Sison. Each villa captures the essence of island luxury, offering guests a serene and sophisticated retreat.
For those seeking nautical elegance, the island’s 38.5-meter superyacht, the refreshed M/Y Obsessions sports a sleek exterior with interior enhancements. Adventurous visitors can indulge in boat tours, including the scenic “Secret Beach” or “Turtle Cove” excursions, or try water sports like wakeboarding, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and SCUBA diving. Marine life around the island has been thriving since Balesin’s coral reef rehabilitation program.
Food enthusiasts are in for a treat with the revamped menus at Bali Warung, Costa del Sol Casa Grande, and Han-Gang Mama Lee. However, classics like kilawin remain iconic must-tries at the Clubhouse Dining and Fish Fun.
Sustainability remains at the heart of Balesin’s evolution. By September, a solar farm is set to supply up to 60 percent of the island’s energy, reducing its carbon footprint.
In April, Hiraya Farm will welcome visitors for immersive farm tours. Balesin partnered with Gourmet Farms to maximize the farms produce and efficiency based the island’s food requirements. Guests can savor native snacks and fresh tea made from the island’s own produce, offering a delightful farm-to-table experience.
With its thoughtful blend of luxury and sustainability, Balesin Island continues to stand out as a premier destination where indulgence meets responsible tourism. Ensuring that members experience the highest level of premier and luxurious service is Alain Borgers, Alphaland’s executive vice president for hospitality. With over four decades of expertise, Borgers is dedicated to enhancing guest satisfaction and redefining luxury, further solidifying Balesin’s reputation as an exceptional destination.
