Conferences for up to 500 people in theatre layout, standing receptions for 600, gala dinners for 288 at round tables and garden weddings for up to 50 guests can be organized at Padma Resort Legian. The resort stands on the beachfront in the center of Legian, on the west coast of Bali, Indonesia, and has eight named event venues around its main ballroom.
Seminars and company events
The resort runs a meeting and events department with eight venues: Plumeria, Gustavia, Gardenia, Hibiscus, Michelia, Magnolia, Amherstia and Delonix. The Plumeria Grand Ballroom is the anchor for large groups. At 569 square meters and 7.5 meters high, it takes 500 people in theatre layout, 189 in classroom, 250 in half-round seating and 288 at round tables, or 600 for a standing cocktail. That covers an incentive trip for a regional sales force, a product launch or a company conference with a gala dinner on the last night. The other seven venues serve as breakout rooms, board rooms or private dining rooms; the resort does not publish their capacities online, so ask the sales team for them with your request.
Weddings and receptions
The resort sells three ceremony packages. The smallest is held in the North Garden for up to 20 guests, a second also in the North Garden for up to 35 guests with two nights in a Deluxe Suite, and the largest on the Presidential Suite Lawn for up to 50 guests with two nights in the Presidential Suite. Receptions can continue with cocktails on the lawn and a seated dinner in the ballroom.
Rooms and capacities
The Plumeria Grand Ballroom divides in several ways. Each third, Plumeria I, II and III, covers 169 square meters for 108 people in theatre layout, 84 in classroom, 64 at round tables or 100 standing. Half the ballroom, 256 square meters, takes 200 in theatre layout or 200 standing. Two thirds together, 396 square meters, take 225 in theatre layout, 126 in classroom or 250 standing. U-shape seating ranges from 36 in one third to 51 in the full ballroom.
Accommodation
Guests stay on site in rooms and suites spread across 16 categories, up to the Presidential Suite. The resort website does not give a total room count, so check the number of rooms available for a block booking when you send dates.
Catering
Catering for meetings and receptions is handled by the resort. Its restaurants and bars include DONBIU, The Deli, TENKAI, a Japanese Nikkei restaurant, SKAI Bar and Grill, The Barong Pool Bar and Cafe and the Seruni sunken pool bar, which gives a group several options for evenings outside the ballroom.
History and setting
The resort lies in a tropical garden on the sand at Legian, one of the main beach districts of south Bali, between Kuta and Seminyak. Sunset over the Indian Ocean from the beachfront is part of most evening programs.
Getting there
The address is Jalan Padma No. 1, Legian, Bali 80361. Ngurah Rai International Airport, which serves Denpasar and the south of the island, is a short drive away, so transfers for a group arriving on the same flight are simple to arrange.
