(21 June 2022, 11:19 +07)  Randy Shimabuku has been appointed General Manager of Four Seasons Resorts Bali, taking leadership of the two iconic resorts at Jimbaran Bay and Sayan as Bali reopens to the world.

Randy has worked at nine properties in North America, Africa and Asia during his 34 years with Four Seasons.

His journey with Four Seasons has taken him from Toronto to Tokyo, Beverly Hills to Kuala Lumpur, and to more than his share of crises including not one but two revolutions during his eight years as General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence.

Most recently, he was General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, where he oversaw major renovations.

Randy takes over from Uday Rao, Bali’s longest serving General Manager who has moved to Australia to lead the team at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney.

“I’ve known Uday for 30 years, we worked in Tokyo together. The way he has handed over the resorts to me, as precious as a baby, speaks volumes about his deep respect for the people and their culture. I feel honoured to be the caretaker and am excited to get to know the people at the two resorts, who are true ambassadors of Bali and Four Seasons,” said Randy.

Both foodies who love wine, Randy and his Japanese wife Atsuko are looking forward to exploring traditional markets, the Jimbaran fish markets, and the vibrant dining scene of South Bali and Ubud.

“Bali is an unique island destination in that you can get completely off the grid in remote wilderness or secluded beaches one day, visit 9th century temples and incredible art galleries the next, and then head for the ‘city lights’ to discover innovative restaurant concepts and mingle with people from all over the world. I know that Atsuko and I are going to love the strong sense of community, and the beautiful balance between traditional village life and cosmopolitan lifestyle. I feel so lucky to be here in Bali,” Randy added.
