At PAUSE, we are dedicated to creating unique and authentic experiences, where accessible luxury, emotion, and immersion come together. More than just a hospitality brand, we design places of life and connection, from an exclusive resort to a vibrant beach club, high-end spas, a private beach for unforgettable dining experiences, catamaran excursions, and innovative dark kitchens.
Every project we create is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a deep commitment to creating lasting memories. What sets us apart? Our deeply human approach, we don’t just aim to provide impeccable service, but to build genuine connections with our guests. For many, this trip is their one true moment of pause, and we are dedicated to making it extraordinary, immersive, and unforgettable.
PAUSE. is first and foremost a human adventure, led by a young, dynamic, and passionate team. Together, we create spaces that bring people together, spark inspiration, and simply feel good. Every project is a collective effort driven by purpose and heart.
With the same ambition that started it all, we continue to create timeless, heartfelt experiences with our newest venues in the making. What’s coming in 2026? We have a few ideas…
The month following the launch of Kaban, we introduced Bahia Restaurant and Beachbar on Gili Air and expanded Utopia Catamaran to the stunning Nusa Islands, continuing our commitment to creating extraordinary island experiences.
The opening of Kaban Restaurant in Umalas, Bali featuring a cozy garden atmosphere and contemporary soul food. Diverse and familiar flavours fill a menu curated by our own expat chef.
During a teambuilding on our catamaran, the name PAUSE naturally emerges as our group’s identity. The team expands significantly, and a second You Spa opens, reinforcing the group’s growth.
We took a major step forward by launching You Spa, our first high-end wellness sanctuary, and Utopia, our luxury catamaran designed to offer unique sea adventures.
The success of MAJO leads to the expansion of the team, with Quentin joining as COO and partner, bringing new perspectives and structure to the group.
Opening of the first establishment, MAJO, built around human connection, sharing, and meaningful experiences.
Mat & Jo, after years of traveling, realize the lack of authenticity in hospitality. The seed of MAJO is planted.
At PAUSE, we move forward without a rigid plan, guided by our passions, inspirations, and opportunities that align with our vision. We don’t just create establishments; we build places with meaning, driven by real desires and dreams, both ours and those of our guests. Emotion and connection always come before profitability, and every project is developed with sincerity and dedication. We are committed to preserving our family spirit and authenticity, as these are the foundations that make PAUSE strong.
We may not know exactly where this journey will take us in 5 or 10 years, but one thing is certain: as long as we can create with passion and stay true to our values, we will continue writing the story of PAUSE, one project at a time.
