BALI,
INDONESIA – Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, a new beachfront resort that opened on
December 1, is pleased to unveil the details of its contemporary and Balinese
inspired design. The new resort, which has already transformed the Kuta

directly in the heart of Kuta beach, one of world’s most renowned surfing
destinations. The resort offers an exclusive retreat, featuring spacious
open-air terraces, lush gardens of local flowers, and an outdoor rooftop pool
with unrivalled panoramic views of the ocean. Showcasing architecture by the
distinguished firm of Enviro Tec, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is destined to
become an architectural landmark while setting new standards for approachable luxury
and extraordinary service in Bali.
“We

Kuta Resort, the new gateway to all that Bali has to offer,” said Dario Orsini,
general manager. “From the
Balinese-inspired architecture to the exquisite interiors and remarkable
service, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is designed to exceed expectations and
create new benchmarks for hospitality, design, and culinary offerings in the
region.”
Constructed
by the renowned architecture firm Enviro Tec, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is
inspired by the design of Bali’s beautiful rice paddy fields. The resort’s
open-air concept and elevated position on the island provide amazing ocean and
beach views, presenting guests with breathtaking sights of Kuta. Enviro Tec has
designed many signature projects over the past two decades, which have brought
forth fresh and evocative ideas that test the canons of architectural
representation. Additionally, the firm explores responsible design and
construction for the creation of an optimal built environment, which is
showcased at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort with the use of recycled wood and water.
The
resort’s breathtaking interiors were primarily designed by FBEye, an exemplary
interior design firm based in Singapore boasting a diverse portfolio of
luxurious hotels, unique destination resorts, celebrity restaurants, signature
spas, grand private residences and mega yachts and feedships. FBEye has worked with leading developers and
operators in hospitality such as Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Intercontinental
Hotels Group, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and Four Seasons Hotels and
Resorts.
A2j,
a well-known interior design firm led by Adelinah Chandra Rahardja and
specializing in hospitality, restaurant, residential, office, and retail
design, also contributed to Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort’s design. Some of the
firm’s noteworthy projects include Ibis Balikpapan, Thai Alley at Pacific Place
Jakarta, Untitled at JW Marriott Jakarta, Veranda Walk at Ciputra World Surabaya,
and The Via and The Vue Apartments. A2j
drew inspiration for the design of Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort from the famous
and beautiful Kuta Beach and the incredible sunset views seen from the resort. A resort unlike any other in the region, its
design incorporates traditional Balinese pattern and details to enhance the
ambiance and reflect the destination.
When
guests step into the hotel’s drop-off lobby, they are surrounded with the
opulence of Balinese touches amidst the premium quality materials used to
create a welcoming and warm environment. This beautiful space was designed by
Hadiprana, a renowned firm out of Jakarta specializing in hospitality
design. In the lobby, two sandstone
columns and monochromatic bronze colors are elegantly featured and provide a
relaxed ambiance among the timber decorative beam at the lobby’s drop-off
ceiling. An exquisite bronze waterfall, which was designed by a local artist,
provides an extraordinary backdrop with illuminated silver pieces.
The
inviting furniture in the resort’s lobby is custom designed by A2j and features
warm tones and high-quality materials.
Balinese artwork and detailed rustic timber panels are found throughout
the lobby area, providing a picturesque backdrop of the island’s unique
culture. The decorative wall-sconces are
made from laser cut stainless steel with the traditional Balinese Geringsing
pattern. Mounted on the ceiling is a beautifully decorated replica of a Jukung
boat, a customary fishing boat used in Bali, highlighting the resort’s ideal
proximity to the ocean. Decorative
lattice timber with a unique Balinese pattern and dramatic low lighting is
showcased along the wall partition in the lobby, while a large sphere lamp
creates an inviting ambiance. The décor
of the rooms reflects a modern yet classic design aesthetic.
