Meliá Hotels International has the opened Sol House Bali Kuta. Originally known as Kuta Beach Club, the property underwent a total refurbishment to become part of the Sol House brand.

Located in the heart of Kuta, the hotel will cater to younger travelers who are looking for a sunshine getaway with a contemporary, lively atmosphere and beach club vibe. The Sol House brand is intrinsically connected to music and will integrate this into the Bali Kuta property through seasonal events for both hotel guests and outside visitors.

The hotel provides sleek, contemporary accomodation with private balconies offering fabulous views of the property’s gardens and outdoor pools. Sol House Bali Kuta boasts two restaurants, Food Factory and Play Bar, which provide modern dining experiences and, in the case of Play Bar, an extensive cocktail list.

“Sol House Bali Kuta offers a unique atmosphere filled with enthusiasm for music and an innovative design led experience,”said Alvaro Berton, General Manager of Sol House Bali Kuta. “We will focus on maximising the beautiful surrounds of the property and bring to life the dynamic spirit of Bali for our guests.”
