From the creators of Asia's No. 1 club, the new 35,000-square-foot destination by Rockwell Group brings together music, art, dining and Bali's iconic sunsets.
BALI, Indonesia, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Savaya Group, the team behind Savaya Bali, currently ranked the No. 1 club in Asia and No. 5 in the world in DJ Mag's 2026 Top 100 Clubs, announces the opening of Zumana, a new beachfront destination at Sunset Bay Kuta.
Opening August 19, Zumana marks a new chapter for Savaya Group and Kuta. Designed by internationally acclaimed architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, the 35,000-square-foot destination brings together music, art, dining and design along one of Bali's most iconic coastlines.
At the center of Zumana stands Zenía, a monumental 10-meter sculpture by multidisciplinary artist Daniel Popper. The work anchors the venue's open-air performance space, while beachfront daybeds, poolside spaces, bars and an open-air dance floor create an environment designed to evolve from relaxed afternoons and sunset gatherings into late-night performances.
"As an Indonesian-founded group, our connection to Bali and its people is deeply personal. Kuta has played an important role in the island's history, and we believe strongly in its next chapter. Zumana was conceived from the ground up for this coastline, bringing together Indonesian spirit with a global perspective across design, music, art and hospitality. We are proud to contribute to the continued evolution of one of Bali's most iconic destinations."
— Nadia Tjahyadikarta, President Director, KAJA Group
"We have always believed deeply in Bali, its people and the culture that makes this island unlike anywhere else in the world. Kuta was one of the places that first introduced Bali to the world, and we believe it has an opportunity to enter an exciting new chapter. With Zumana, we want to be part of that revitalization, honoring the spirit and energy that made Kuta iconic while creating something relevant to Bali today and for the generation ahead."
— Alex Cordova, CEO, Savaya Group
Zumana will celebrate its official Grand Opening Weekend September 25–26, with The Martinez Brothers headlining Friday and Satori performing live Saturday. The weekend introduces a musical identity built around international programming and the natural transition from sunset into night.
Zumana is open daily at Sunset Bay Kuta beginning August 19, 2026.

Health Ministry Seeks Affordable Malaysian Healthcare for Bangladeshi Patients
DHAKA, Bangladesh, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A delegation from Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), led by H.E. Mohd Shuhada Othman, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Bangladesh, met with H.E. Sardar Md. Sakhawat Husain, Honourable Minister of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh, at his office to further advance healthcare cooperation between Malaysia and Bangladesh.
The engagement forms part of MHTC's Working Visit and Engagement in Bangladesh from 17 to 20 August 2026 and builds on the momentum generated by the official visit of the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of Bangladesh to Malaysia on 22 June 2026. During the visit, the Leaders of both countries expressed optimism about expanding bilateral cooperation in the healthcare sector, particularly in conjunction with Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 (MYMT2026).
The meeting provided an opportunity to explore avenues for closer collaboration in healthcare and medical tourism, while further strengthening the longstanding and friendly relations between Malaysia and Bangladesh. This commitment is underpinned by growing demand. Healthcare travel revenue from Bangladeshi healthcare travellers to Malaysia rose from RM2.2 million in Q1 2025 to RM2.7 million in Q1 2026, representing a 22.7 per cent increase and highlighting the growing potential of Bangladesh as an important market for Malaysian healthcare.
"Malaysia and Bangladesh have built more than five decades of partnership, and in June our leaders agreed to extend that partnership into healthcare. Our responsibility now is to translate that commitment into practical cooperation, not only in healthcare travel, but in the exchange of skills, standards and knowledge that strengthens both our systems," said Dato' Suriaghandi Suppiah, Chief Executive Officer of MHTC.
The Honourable Minister emphasised the importance of making Malaysian healthcare more accessible and affordable to the wider population in Bangladesh, including through competitive pricing and, where possible, special packages. He also stressed the importance of establishing clear and effective communication channels between patients and hospitals to ensure a smooth healthcare journey. Malaysia's combination of medical excellence, accessibility, and a Muslim-friendly environment, supported by high safety standards, specialised healthcare services, and Malaysian hospitality, provides a strong foundation for meeting these needs. Malaysia's established healthcare ecosystem, regulated under the Ministry of Health Malaysia, together with its patient-centred approach, further provides patients and their families with confidence throughout their healthcare journey.
Representing Irving Aviation, MHTC's local partner in Bangladesh, HBM Lutfur Rahman highlighted the benefits that Malaysian healthcare can offer Bangladeshi patients, including access to experienced specialists and established medical institutions, as well as Malaysia's Muslim-friendly environment, halal food, and renowned hospitality.
Under MYMT2026, themed "Healing Meets Hospitality", MHTC will continue to expand its engagement in Bangladesh through potential healthcare awareness and educational programmes, participation by Malaysian healthcare institutions in relevant initiatives, specialist consultation and second-opinion programmes, and further government-to-government and institutional engagements. MHTC will continue working with Bangladeshi health authorities, healthcare institutions and professionals throughout MYMT2026 to establish durable, mutually beneficial partnerships that strengthen healthcare cooperation between Malaysia and Bangladesh.
