PTT Family, the Indonesia-based group behind the world-renowned Potato Head Beach Club in Bali, adds the first hotel to its portfolio of award-winning restaurants and bars with the launch of Katamama in Bali in March 2016. A boutique Bali hotel made by artisans, Katamama offers guests an experience unlike anything else on the island by showcasing the best of Indonesia’s rich heritage through PTT Family’s signature contemporary context.
Design
Renowned Indonesian architect and long-time PTT Family collaborator Andra Matin is responsible for the overall design of Katamama. The interiors are a marriage of pieces from the owner’s personal collection and timeless innovative interior design. Many decorative elements in the hotel were created by the finest local craftsmen, utilising traditional artisan practices native to Indonesia, particularly Bali.
Interiors
Katamama offers some of the largest living spaces of any hotel in Bali. Indigenous materials, such as Balinese bricks, teak, handmade tiles from Java and terrazzo made on site, feature prominently throughout the hotel, while the rooms are filled with curated artwork, handpicked furniture and cherished collectibles. There are more than 100 pieces of contemporary Indonesian art throughout the property. Many of the amenities found in the rooms, including textiles, woven elements and ceramics, were created by local Balinese craftspeople. Interiors designed by PTT Family Creative Team and Takenouchi Webb.
