The project, once marketed as a safer way to reach the famous beach, is now at the center of a broader conversation about development and conservation on the island.

IHG will introduce its first Kimpton property in Indonesia with a 101-room boutique hotel in Bali’s cultural heart of Ubud, set to open in early 2026, marking a major expansion of its luxury‑lifestyle portfolio in Southeast Asia.
