Desa Potato Head Bali
Seminyak, Bali
“Zero-waste creative village”
MICHELIN Guide
“Most people’s vision of a Balinese hotel doesn’t involve a modern red-brick structure that soars higher than the tree line.”
Vibe
A buzzing oceanfront creative village where zero-waste ethos meets live radio broadcasts, beachfront daybeds, and late-night sets at Klymax Discotheque.
“Zero-waste creative village”
Four distinct venues including an oceanfront amphitheater beach club, rooftop sunset lounge, and subterranean Klymax Discotheque.
Architecture by OMA and Andra Matin featuring reclaimed teak shutters and hand-pressed terracotta temple bricks.
Immersive cultural workshops from ikat weaving to ceramic craft, alongside regional archipelago dining at Kaum.
Beachfront along Petitenget Beach in Seminyak, surrounded by buzzing beach clubs, boutiques, and restaurants.
Rooms
Suites pair reclaimed teak and hand-poured terrazzo with hand-pressed terracotta temple bricks, while studios feature upcycled plastic fixtures and ocean-facing balconies.
Wellness
Desa Spa pairs ancestral Balinese healing rituals and immersive sound baths with open-air yoga, breathwork sessions, and an oceanfront infinity pool.
Backstory
Founder Ronald Akili enlisted architects Rem Koolhaas and Andra Matin to shape a sustainable cultural compound built from millions of handcrafted bricks.
Eat & drink
Dining ranges from wood-fired line-caught seafood at Ijen and plant-based dishes at Tanaman to natural wines beneath the OMA-designed Dome.
The neighborhood
Set directly along Petitenget Beach, the compound is steps from Seminyak's bustling stretch of boutiques, surf breaks, and coastal dining spots.
