KUTA, INDONESIA (MARCH, 2022): A project to almost double the size of beachfront hotel, Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach Bali, from 155 rooms to 300 rooms is on schedule to be completed by the third quarter of 2022.When finished, the 143 billion Indonesian Rupiah (IDR 143 billion) development will add a more premium class of hotel room, along with a new pool bar, gymnasium, additional infinity swimming pool and a children's playground. As part of the project, the day spa will also be relocated to more spacious quarters in the new wing.Hotel Manager Bagus Ngurah said the purpose of the expansion is to enable the hotel to better cater for families and extended stays.“Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach's inviting atmosphere, competitive pricing, prime position across the road from the renowned Kuta Beach and, soon, its new facilities – including a playground, gym and additional family pool – will make this the ideal base for families to enjoy their time in Bali,” said Mr Ngurah.“The additional options onsite will give guests more variety to enjoy during their holiday. The pool bar will be a perfect spot for every occasion, from a family get-together after a day exploring to a sunset cocktail. It will offer light meals, snacks, a diverse drinks menu, a range of live international sports on TV and a pool deck, which will be used during the day for group yoga sessions,” he added.Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach currently boasts an existing ground level pool, rooftop pool overlooking the ocean, all-day dining restaurant, a bar, a day spa and a meeting room for seminars and events.The new Premier Deluxe rooms are approximately 31 square metres large, with an additional six-square metre furnished patio or balcony, and feature complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a sofa bed, working desk, tea and coffee making facilities, mini bar, and 50-inch Smart TV capable of streaming or casting.The new wing will put a contemporary spin on traditional Balinese design, featuring rooms with cool tiled flooring, large and colourful artwork immortalising the cultural heritage of the Island of Gods, and a calming colour scheme inspired by Kuta Beach, which is just metres away. Ground floor rooms will provide direct access to the new pool.“This ambitious development has been our vision for this property for many years and we are proud to see it taking shape,” said Mr Sonny Inayatkhan, Director of PT Global Bali Investama, which owns Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach.“We chose to press on with the project during the COVID-19 pandemic and, while there have been some challenging moments, we are on schedule to finish at a time when international travel will be resurgent. Tourism in Bali has suffered a severe downturn since 2020 but we believe this island has a strong offering for travellers and will recover quickly once restrictions are finally eased.”PT Wyndham Hotel Management, which manages Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach, predicts the hotel will achieve occupancies of around 60 per cent upon opening the new wing, provided the pandemic restrictions on travel have eased.The company is a subsidiary of Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific and manages 10 properties across Indonesia, including hotels in Bali, Lombok, Jakarta, Solo, Palembang and Surabaya, under the Wyndham, Wyndham Garden, Ramada by Wyndham and Days Inn by Wyndham brands.About Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific is a division of Wyndham Destinations, the world's largest vacation ownership company.
