If you’re seeking rest and relaxation amid one of Bali’s most vibrant neighborhoods, look no further. Directly opposite Kuta Beach and integrated with the popular Beachwalk shopping mall, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort looks just as good as it did when it opened a decade ago. The laid-back property combines approachable luxury, warm Balinese hospitality, and a 21st-century design with a strong sense of place—incorporating traditional patterns and details to reflect the destination.
At Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, the modern architecture was inspired by the island’s famous rice terraces. The property has been elevated above Beachwalk to take advantage of its beachside location, and an open-air concept is expressed in the spacious outdoor terraces, lush gardens adorned with native flowers, and an infinity-edge lagoon pool ideal for soaking up the tropical ocean sunsets Bali is known for.
On ground level, two sandstone columns at the drop-off area lead the eyes toward a ceiling with decorative timber beams, and a local artist has contributed a bronze waterfall for an extra flourish. Indonesian talent also comes to the fore in the fourth-floor lobby, which draws its inspiration from neighboring Kuta Beach and the stunning sunset views seen from the resort. Bespoke furnishings have been created in warm tones, while Balinese artwork and rustic timber panels are matched with stainless steel wall sconces bearing the traditional geringsing pattern found on local textiles. The resort’s proximity to the ocean is expressed through a replica of a jukung fishing boat mounted on the ceiling.
Upstairs, the 196 guest rooms and suites at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort are all generously proportioned. Ranging from 46 to 265 square meters, each one comes with the signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed as well as a spacious private balcony that faces either the Indian Ocean or the resort’s lushly planted courtyards. The accommodations sport a modern yet classic look, and the hand-selected furniture inside comes with local touches like mother-of-pearl shell motifs. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature freestanding bathtubs and rain showers, not to mention countertops made of Statuario Italian marble.
A trio of dining venues beckons at the Sheraton Bali Kuta resort. Bene Italian Kitchen serves authentic Italian fare with an Indonesian twist, and promises uninterrupted Indian Ocean through floor-to-ceiling windows or from a breezy rooftop deck. The Lounge, an indoor-outdoor venue beside the lobby, offers locally inspired cocktails and afternoon tea. Overlooking the infinity pool is all-day restaurant Daily Social; it’s styled as a gourmet market, where buffet counters and live cooking stations plate up an array of Indonesian classics and Western favorites.
Aside from taking a dip in the inviting outdoor pool, guests can find rejuvenation at Shine Spa. Here, signature treatments blend the wellness rituals of East and West, and therapies are tailored to the needs of each spa-goer in a tranquil setting with a design influenced by the resort’s tropical location.
The property is also well-equipped to host business events or celebrations, be it a gala dinner or cocktail reception, thanks to the nine flexible event spaces on-site. These are headlined by a 700-square-meter ballroom that can be divided in two. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is conveniently located in the heart of Kuta, just five kilometers from Ngurah Rai International Airport.
