Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud, a new luxury lifestyle hotel by IHG, is scheduled to open in early 2026. Situated in the cultural heart of Bali, this upcoming hotel promises an immersive retreat that blends Kimpton’s signature style with the natural beauty and spiritual essence of the island’s artistic hub. It is poised to become the first IHG property in the popular Ubud district, offering a serene escape along a revered stretch of the sacred WOS River.

The resort’s design is thoughtfully integrated into the lush natural landscape, ensuring a harmonious atmosphere that reflects local heritage and craftsmanship. Guests will find a true sanctuary where nature is woven into every detail, from the architecture that incorporates natural materials to the serene views of the surrounding jungle. This unique location provides a rare opportunity to stay in an internationally-branded hotel within walking distance of central Ubud attractions like the historic Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung) and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.

Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud will feature 101 thoughtfully designed rooms, offering a stylish and comfortable stay for discerning travelers. As a design-led property, the hotel aims to be a vibrant hub for authentic human connections, providing a “luxury with a wink” experience that is characteristic of the Kimpton brand. Each accommodation is crafted to provide a serene and inspiring environment, whether guests are seeking cultural immersion or pure relaxation.

Guests can look forward to a diverse culinary experience with three distinct restaurants and a casual café/deli. This includes IMAMURA, a Japanese dining concept in partnership with GHS K.K., led by a Michelin-starred chef.

The hotel offers extensive fitness and relaxation facilities, including a spa that incorporates traditional Balinese healing practices. A fitness center and a swimming pool will also be available for guests.

Located approximately 90 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, the hotel provides easy access to local attractions like the Tegallalang Rice Terraces and markets. Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud is the second Kimpton hotel in Bali, expanding IHG’s luxury presence in Indonesia.
