Sono Hotels & Resorts Asia is gearing up to open a new property, Sono Felice Bali Canggu, scheduled for July 2028. This 90-room hotel will be located on Jalan Nelayan, just a stone’s throw from Batu Bolong Beach, a hotspot for surfers and food lovers alike.
Canggu is attracting more and more international travelers thanks to its vibrant surf scene and rich dining options. With a design focused on residential-style hospitality, it will cater to both short-term and long-term guests. This approach meets the growing demand for flexible accommodation, especially from digital nomads and those seeking extended stays. A recent survey showed that nearly 68% of remote workers prefer destinations that offer such flexibility.
The hotel will feature four distinct buildings, each inspired by fundamental elements: water, fire, air, and earth. Planned amenities include rooftop dining with stunning ocean views and personalized services, aimed at enhancing guest experiences.
This opening is part of Sono’s broader strategy to expand across Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The company is focusing on areas that show strong tourism growth and lifestyle appeal. Jihong An, the senior vice president of Sono Hotels & Resorts Asia, highlighted that “Canggu is one of the most exciting lifestyle markets in the region.” This hotel concept is designed to harmonize with the local community while delivering excellent performance.
Ahti Khiili, president director of Nelayan Development, echoed these sentiments, stating, “Canggu is evolving into one of Bali’s most desirable destinations. With Sono Hotels & Resorts Asia as our partner, we can create a unique hospitality concept that resonates with travelers.” The hotel’s innovative blend of local culture and modern design aims to make it a standout choice for visitors.
As travel trends continue to evolve, this hotel is poised to tap into the growing demand for destinations that offer both leisure and lifestyle. With properties like Sono Felice Bali Canggu, the future of hospitality in Canggu looks bright.
