Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort

The contemporary glass-and-concrete exterior nestled amid landscaped grounds gives way to a stylish lobby where children receive welcome bags at check-in. The expansive space has high ceilings with neutral and wood tones running throughout -- there’s tons of seating plus marvelous ocean views. The Lounge Bar has intricately decorated ceilings featuring traditional Balinese flourishes blended with eye-catching design, most apparent in the sculptures that hang overhead that simultaneously resemble butterflies, birds, angelfish, and the prow of a fishing boat. An outdoor garden is filled with trees and plants and has a sunbathing area where the hotel puts on White Magic Sunset events with live music and Balinese dancers at certain times of year. The on-site spa is a chic and tranquil place for a relaxing treatment while restaurant styles range from the trendy Feast to the wood-toned Bene, which offers excellent ocean views and has a modern rooftop terrace and draws guests from across Kuta. Hotel guests run the gamut from families and couples to business and solo travelers.
