PTT Family, the Group behind Potato Head Beach Club, launches
all-suites boutique hotel.
A refreshing addition to the Bali
hotel scene, Katamama is a 58-suite boutique hotel located on one of the last
parcels of land in Seminyak, Bali’s most prestigious oceanfront district.
Now open, Katamama embodies
“handcrafted hospitality”, with all aspects of the design and experience centered
on this concept. Every facet of the hotel has been personally designed and
created by Indonesia’s finest craftsmen, utilizing the rare arts and artisan
practices that connect guests to Indonesia’s culture and heritage.
The hotel is the creation of PTT
Family whose award-winning restaurants and bars in Indonesia and Singapore
include the internationally acclaimed ‘Potato Head Beach Club’ in Bali, a
20-villa estate renowned for its cutting-edge environmental design and a
leading contemporary Indonesian art gallery.
Overseeing the Katamama project
is Ronald Akili, one of Indonesia's leading entrepreneurs who has now broadened
his hospitality horizons to Katamama, the first of three hotels to be built on
prime Bali beachfront locations. The second landmark project – collaborating
with world-renowned architecture practice OMA, headed by Rem Koolhaas - will
open in 2018 with the third following shortly afterwards in 2019.
Katamama offers guests the chance
to experience real luxury and Indonesian culture through a contemporary
context. Inviting architecture, modern
artisanal design, and exciting international brand collaborations from the
disciplines of design, fashion, music, art, mixology and the culinary arts
enhance the hotel experience.
Contemporary design elements pay
reference to the Balinese lifestyle and lush green gardens reflect the natural
beauty of the island. Renowned Indonesian architect and long-time PTT Family
collaborator Andra Martin has designed Katamama, with interiors a partnership
between the owners and the Singapore-based design company Takenouchi Webb. The
hotel is finished with Indonesian materials such as Balinese bricks, teak,
hand-made tiles from Java and terrazzo made on site.
With only 58 suites, Katamama is
intimate and serene, offering some of the largest living spaces of any hotel in
Bali, in each of its categories. The suites are filled with curated artwork,
handpicked furniture and cherished collectibles, many of them originally part
of the owner’s personal collection. All suites boast outdoor spaces, whether
balconies, secluded gardens or individual pools. The Rooftop Suites embody
premium luxury and provide the ultimate escape. Measuring 268 sqm, these
two-storey suites offer internal access to a rooftop garden complete with
stunning ocean views, a spa bath and rain shower and dining and lounge areas,
complete with their own bar. The
crowning glory of the hotel is the The Katamama Suite, housing two bedrooms and
a private rooftop garden with picture perfect ocean views.
Katamama forms the core of a
community of like-minded businesses, a neighbourhood that is fast becoming
Bali’s creative hub. These local establishments include Potato Head Beach Club,
Escalier - Indonesia’s leading independent luxury fashion boutique, Alchemy,
the island’s first 100% raw vegan cafe & juice bar and Canaan, a curated
home and living gallery and retail space, showcasing the best handcrafted
artisanal products from Indonesia and Japan, including textiles, linens,
ceramics and clothing.
In addition to these neighbouring
establishments, two more are situated within the hotel itself and already open.
MoVida restaurant is a unique collaboration that combines MoVida's Spanish
cuisine and Potato Head’s design and distinctive architectural expression. With
five sites across Australia and best-selling cookbooks to its name, this
restaurant is MoVida’s first international venture. Also housed within the
hotel space is Akademi, a bar created by award winning mixologist Dre Masso.
Akademi is a hub for the world’s most celebrated mixologists and a centere for
the craft, offering patrons a curated selection of cocktails using the finest
Indonesian tropical ingredients, many of them previously overlooked.
Free from formality but
uncompromised when it comes to five-star service with a personal touch, modern
artisanal design and bespoke experience, Katamama showcases Indonesia’s rich
culture and traditions through PTT Family’s lauded contemporary outlook.
