Poppies Bali

Where Time Stands Still

Heaven in the heart of Kuta

Welcome to Poppies Bali, a timeless oasis in the heart of Kuta where the charms of a bygone era live on. A stroll away from the storied shores of Kuta Beach, enter through our gates into a boutique, tropical sanctuary. Find peace in our treasured time-capsule, where paths meander through blooming flower gardens and tranquil lily ponds, leading to our twenty classical cottages.

About Bali: The Island of the Gods

Out of the 17,000 islands that make the Indonesian archipelago, Bali shines the brightest on the world stage. What is it that makes Bali such an alluring destination? Is it its vibrant living culture? The diversity of its landscapes that spread from mountain to the sea? For every visitor, what inspires them may be different, but without a doubt, there is something special about the Island of the Gods.

Four Decades of Balinese Hospitality

Poppies Bali initially opened in 1980, welcoming guests from all walks of life for over 40 years, with many returning to relive the magic. Whilst the unique atmosphere of Poppies is certainly a draw, what truly makes each stay feel special is the warmth of our Balinese staff - many of whom have been with us for decades, and are very much family. Their personal approach to hospitality is in itself a memory of an old Bali. We are sure you will feel the same.

Certified Excellence

We have had the pleasure of meeting thousands of guests over the past four decades across every continent. Feel free to see what our new and loyal guests have to say about us.

  • "Still setting the standard for what a good Bali hotel should be, Poppies has an exotically lush garden with cleverly designed and beautifully built cottages. It's in the centre of things on Poppies Lane 1 and has a swimming pool every bit as stunning as the overall design. It’s cheaper than most top-end places and has a lot more character."

    — Lonely Planet / Tony Wheeler

  • "Poppies consistently delivers the exquisite, tropical paradise experience. It's the little personalised touches..."

    — Trip Advisor

  • "The Four Seasons Sayan near Ubud in Bali, (which is) outrageously expensive, amazingly designed and ridiculously romantic. Much cheaper - Poppies Cottages has the same aesthetics and, amazingly, it's right in the heart of Kuta"

    — Lonely Planet / Tony Wheeler

  • "..a classic amongst the typical local bungalow complexes; the same applies to the adjoining garden restaurant.."

    — Guest comment

  • "..one of Kuta's top small hotels, you can stay in a traditional thatched cottage for a fraction of what it would cost at a larger resort. Convenience is another advantage here: Kuta's shops and beaches are a five-minute walk down the road.."
