POTATO HEAD’S ANDRA MATIN–DESIGNED HOTEL

-

Potato Head’s Andra Matin‒designed boutique hotel is ready to embrace guests as family once again. On June 28, the 58-suite artisan property ‒ formerly known as Katamama ‒ reopens as Potato Head Suites, the soul of Desa Potato Head, Seminyak’s sustainabl­e beachfront creative village. With walls of textural temple bricks handmade in an ancient Balinese village and bespoke Jengki teak furniture (recalling young Indonesian designers’ rebellious mid-century modern enthusiasm after independen­ce from the Dutch), the hotel is a sanctuary for craftsmans­hip and artistry in every sense. Each element is imbued with meaning, thanks to a fusion of ancient tradition with modern aesthetics. Warmth exudes as much from the custom furnishing­s, hand-woven, naturally dyed textiles, and intricate local handicraft­s as it does our Potato Head family. Suites come with access to the Beach Club and daybeds, gym and spa, plus in-room breakfast at no extra charge, a Zero Waste Kit and Anjat beach set ‒ but the long, lush private pool, exclusive to its own guests.
