BALINEWS.ID – KLEO Seminyak, the first JdV by Hyatt property in Southeast Asia, officially celebrated its grand opening on 18 September 2025, marking the arrival of a new lifestyle destination that blends design, flavor, and community in the heart of Bali’s most vibrant coastal neighborhood.
More than just a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, the grand opening was a lively celebration that brought together Bali’s creative community, hospitality partners, media representatives, and international guests. The event reflected KLEO’s mission to connect people through shared experiences and showcase the unique joie de vivre or joy of life that defines both the JdV brand and the island of Bali.
The night came alive with a DJ and saxophone performance, a cabaret show, and acrobatic displays that set a playful yet elegant tone for the evening. These performances mirrored KLEO’s vision as a creative hub for both travelers and locals, a place where art, design, and entertainment coexist harmoniously.
Culinary excellence also took center stage. Zia Tina, the hotel’s signature restaurant led by Chef Maurizio Bombini, presented southern Italian flavors inspired by his Puglian roots, serving wood-fired pizzas and handmade pastas crafted with local ingredients. Meanwhile, Rooftop Social offered refreshing cocktails and sunset views across Seminyak’s skyline, capturing the island’s effortless charm.
For the grand opening, KLEO also collaborated with its “KLEO Neighbors”, including Eazy Bar, Deli Island, and Seasalt Seminyak, showcasing how the hotel aims to strengthen connections within the local hospitality and culinary community. Each collaboration was designed to highlight the vibrant personality of Seminyak while celebrating the spirit of togetherness.
“Our grand opening was not just about unveiling a hotel, it was about opening our doors to the neighborhood and celebrating the creative pulse of Seminyak,” said Christiane Ferger, General Manager of KLEO Seminyak.
“From Chef Maurizio’s southern Italian touch to our rooftop sunsets, every detail is crafted to inspire connection and embody the joy of life,” she added.
The 60 thoughtfully designed rooms at KLEO Seminyak continue the narrative of creativity and comfort. Each room is described as a “scented love letter to Seminyak’s soul,” featuring bold mid-century modern aesthetics, Zen-inspired bathrooms, and locally crafted art pieces. Every detail is curated to spark joy and a sense of belonging.
Located just steps from Petitenget Beach, Seminyak Village, Alila Seminyak Beach Bar, and a collection of boutiques and beach clubs, KLEO Seminyak immerses guests in the rhythm of Bali’s coastal lifestyle. It’s a destination designed for travelers seeking a mix of sophistication, authenticity, and connection.
