There's plenty of space in north, west and east Bali, to be fair - but all the hotels (even the new ones) just seem to be intent on cramming the Bukit Peninsula. Really - how many more villas/luxury resorts does Uluwatu need? Seminyak doesn't have enough hotels/resorts already? Nusa Dua? Seriously!? Ubud is dying too - Ralph Lauren and Pandora stores opening up...

Would have thought Six Senses would have preferred something east, west or north. I would love to see some luxury accomodation by Lake Batur, or something closer to Mount Agung/Mount Batur.

Some luxury dive resorts by Amed would be interesting too.

East side there's only Amankila. West there's just Alila Villas Soori. Plus a smattering of other small non-luxury options (Alila Manggis on the east, Pan Pacific etc on the west near the previous respective resorts).

There's plenty of space available to carve out a niche.

+1 on Lombok too.
