GHM – The Brand & The Portfolio

developing and operating an exclusive group of hotels and resorts. With an expansive portfolio
and more projects in the pipeline, GHM prides itself in providing guests with an unrivalled lifestyle

Each GHM property is an original. The special relationship between the land and the local culture
amongst which each resides enables GHM to provide guests with a genuine, close-up experience
of the best each destination has to offer.
The signature GHM style is best defined as contemporary interpretations of Asian designs
combined with distinctive local touches to create inspired, memorable spaces.
The Legian Bali, Indonesia
The Legian, an all-suite hotel, sets a new standard for resort living with its contemporary approach
to traditional Indonesian design. Set in landscaped tropical gardens, The Legian features 68 suites
that are among the most spacious in Bali, all designed to exude the feel of high-end private
residences. Among them is The Beach House. Indonesian sculptures and indigenous art abound
throughout the resort’s public and private spaces.
The Legian offers a quiet haven along a sandy stretch of Seminyak Beach. It is a mere 25-minute
drive from the Ngurah Rai International Airport and is situated on Bali’s southern coast, within
walking distance of Bali’s trendiest shopping and nightlife areas. The Legian raises the bar on
luxury amidst the serenity of the island’s natural beauty.
The Club at The Legian Bali, Indonesia
The Club at The Legian brings a new level of style and exclusivity to one of the most popular
destinations on this ‘Island of the Gods’.
Set in a quiet enclave opposite the main hotel property – The Legian – each of The Club’s 11
luxury villas (10 One-Bedroom Villa and a Three-Bedroom Villa) features a private pool set amidst
a teak-floored veranda accented by water features and manicured greens. With each completely
enclosed to create the sense of a private compound, the villas offer the ultimate secluded retreat in
the heart of trendy Seminyak.

exclusively for their use, guests of The Club have full access to The Legian’s services and

The Nam Hai Hoi An, Vietnam
The Nam Hai is situated on a prime stretch of the stunningly picturesque Ha My Beach near the
historic town of Hoi An. The resort features 60 One-Bedroom Villas and 40 Pool Villas (ranging
from one- to five-bedrooms), with each Pool Villa having its own landscaped garden and boasting
unobstructed views across the South China Sea and nearby Cham Islands.
Located 30 kilometres south of Danang and 11 kilometres north of the charming old town of Hoi
An in the Central Coast, The Nam Hai combines spectacular beachfront living with renowned
cultural historical attractions that reflect the true spirit of Indochina.
The understated charm of Vietnamese architecture, discernible by split-levels and raised platforms
which serve different functions throughout the day, adds a distinctive touch to the resort’s setting,
the design of which pays homage to 2,500 years of Vietnamese history with its contemporary
interpretation of Vietnamese traditions.
The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
Spread over five hectares of elegantly landscaped gardens and undulating rice fields, The Chedi
Club at Tanah Gajah features 20 standalone villas and suites designed in a traditional Balinese
style of architecture combined with a contemporary flair. The once-private estate is located mere
minutes from the centre of Ubud.
The property was conceptualised in the early 1980s by prominent Indonesian architect and interior
designer, Hendra Hadiprana as a secluded hideaway and weekend retreat for his family and
friends. Each of the resorts villas and suites feature artwork from Mr. Hadiprana’s private collection
– an art connoisseur’s delight.
In addition to 24-hour butler service, the resort’s facilities include a large swimming pool, tennis
court and private open-air amphitheatre in which famous Balinese dance performances are held.
The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah’s location in the highlands – the ‘cultural heart’ of Bali – makes it the
perfect complement to its sister properties The Legian and The Club at The Legian in trendy
Seminyak, and The Chedi Sakala in Tanjung Benoa.
The Chedi Muscat, Oman
Located 20 minutes north of Muscat and a mere 15-minute drive from Muscat International Airport,

waters of The Gulf mirror the glorious Hajar mountain ranges in the backdrop.
Designed in the style of traditional Omani architecture combined with an Asian zen, the property’s
158 rooms and suites as well as its public spaces exude an ageless charm. The Chedi Muscat’s
facilities encompass a 103-metre swimming pool – the longest outdoor pool in the Sultanate of
