“VOILÀ is a welcome addition to the services we offer our Kayumanis’ guests and we are thrilled they can now earn points and redeem Award Nights with us and other luxury hotels worldwide,” stated Sinarto Dharmawan the managing director of Kayumanis Hotels. “We realized only VOILÀ could tailor a reward programme specifically to our most loyal guests and provide them with local, in-language customer service centers to ensure they receive the recognition they deserve. We are proud to partner with VOILÀ and look forward to many years of mutual success.”
Kayumanis are some of the world’s most sought after private villa retreats. Located in enchanting areas of Bali and China, the villas are designed for sophisticated, discriminating travelers seeking the ultimate in accommodations, privacy and impeccable service. Each exquisite villa features its own private pool and every guest is assigned a personal butler upon arrival. In Bali, the chain includes: Kayumanis Ubud, Kayumanis Nusa Dua, Kayumanis Jimbaran, and the Gangsa; and there is another Kayumanis property in China. For most travelers, a stay with Kayumanis is an experience beyond imagination.
“Since our initial launch in 2008, VOILÀ has expanded rapidly, now offering the programme throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. This has been a tremendous achievement for the entire VOILÀ Hotel Rewards team and a great bonus for members,” said Gabi Kool, senior vice president and managing director of VOILÀ Hotel Rewards. “Our members remain our number one priority and we are committed to bringing VOILÀ to their top leisure and business travel destinations.”
Guests of Kayumanis can enroll in the Kayumanis Privilege Programme for free and begin earning valuable points for their stays that can later be redeemed for complimentary nights or room upgrades. Members also enjoy a host of special “members-only” benefits like preferred room rates, welcome amenities, VIP access to hotel facilities and more through VOILÀ’s other private regional programmes including Husa Plus, Lucerna Rewards, Great Hotels Rewards, Hadaya, and the recently announced Swiss-Bel International Rewards.
