I have never been a yoga, meditation or sound-bowl-therapy type of person, but suddenly here I was in Bali, a popular Indonesian island that I did not know much about other than its glorious beaches and an over-saturation of foreign-owned “matcha Pilates” studios.
I arrived at Desa Potato Head in the Seminyak area with eager curiosity to check out the five-star beach club and resort to which I had been invited. Designed to be a sustainable, creative village open to all, the resort has been placed on the World’s 50 Best Hotels awards list since 2023 and even won the list’s 2025 Eco Hotel Award for its sustainability efforts. Its homey, biophilic architecture decorated with the works of local artisans all seemed very promising as I stepped out of the car.
Located on Petitenget Beach, Desa Potato Head is a 226-room hotel that hosts six bar and restaurant outlets and the world-renowned Potato Head Beach Club.
