Looking for a destination for the festive holidays ahead? Gather your nine closest consorts and make for the new Mandala. The Bay in Bali.

Fortunately, M. Group has launched the fourth of its design-led Mandala Places residences – Mandala. The Bay – a stunning five-bedroom villa on the island of Nusa Lembongan, a short boat ride from Bali.
A private retreat like no other, the new residence is surrounded by crystal clear waters that are renowned for surfing, diving and snorkelling, with pristine, deserted beaches always only a few minutes away.
