Hotel Indigo launches first resort hotel
Hotel Indigo has announced the opening of its first location within a resort, Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, in Bali’s Seminyak Mesari district. Drawing inspiration from the flavours, culture and character of its surroundings, the 289-key hotel extends across 4.7 hectares of landscaped grounds and gardens, incorporating a mix of locally influenced design touches juxtaposed with striking contemporary elements.
Fronting the southern stretch of Seminyak, the property comprises 19 villas with private outdoor swimming pools, whirlpools and marble bathrooms, an expansive lobby space dubbed the Neighbourhood Gallery, a Balinese Subak inspired wall structure, outdoor artworks by local artists, and water fountains. Elsewhere, the geometric lines that decorate entrances, canopies and walls are a creative interpretation of the traditional Balinese weaving textile, Tenun Songket.
The 270 spacious guestrooms and suites are appointed with spa-inspired bathrooms, whilst each villa is planned like a Balinese house, consisting of three main areas: Nista Mandala, a space for residents to embrace the Gods; Madya Mandala, a space to be at one with nature; and Utama Mandala, a space for interpersonal relations.
Within the hotel are seven dining venues, all helmed by Executive Chef Mads Wolff. Makase is the hotel’s neighbourhood café, contemporary yet casual and serving up colourful local flavours for breakfast and dinner. Pottery Café is open all day, offering a selection of local specialty coffees, teas and chocolates, whilst The Tree Bar is an organic artisan bar by day and speakeasy by night. By the hotel’s main pool is the Cave Pool Lounge, and Salon Bali is the hotel’s signature restaurant, featuring an intimate, rustic aesthetic. Lastly, located beside the white sand beach is SugarSand, a new 400-seat venue set to open in Q4.
Leisure facilities include the Sava Spa, offering treatments and traditional Balinese massages throughout 10 treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge, a reflexology lounge, a nail beauty lounge and a 24-hour health club.
Guillaume Epinette, General Manager of Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, comments: “Seminyak is a melting pot, enriched with a diverse culture and lifestyle that merges all the wonderful things Bali is known for. Our inspiration has been to weave the flavours of Seminyak into our hotel, not only with our design but throughout the whole experience. The result is a design-led property that reflects the changing tastes of today’s affluent travellers — who not only aspire to enjoy a relaxing escape, but also crave new inspiration. We’re certain that every fascinating detail on their journey of discovery through fashionable Seminyak neighbourhood will deliver that.”
