Kimpton Naranta Bali - Nusa Dua (Never Opening)
 
Hey folks, realize that the Kimpton folks here aren't as enthusiastic about new hotel openings as the other loyalty program members, as I don't see much discussion on this. This one really peeked my interest, Bali is one of our favorite vacay destinations, and we've come to really enjoy most of our stays at the Kimpton portfolio, it will be really nice to see how the brand will carry through.

A luxury and lifestyle sanctuary on the island of the gods, Bali
The first Kimpton located in Southeast Asia, Kimpton Bali, opening in 2019, will feature 50 luxurious villas and sits on the picturesque Nusa Dua coast. The new designed hotel blends with the local Balinese culture delivering guests a personalized experience that is both authentic and reflective of the ancient culture.
It is scheduled to open in 2019, but we are already entering the 3rd quarter of the year, any insiders know if the property will open as scheduled or will be facing some delays?

The official hotel page can be found here, but not much details has been disclosed about its opening date yet..

In typical Bali fashion expect delays with the opening.

Not surprising given the situation in Bali at the moment. It'll take long enough for the existing hotels to come back online, let alone the new ones.

Social Media has taken hold of the handle Kimpton Naranta Bali for facebook and IG.

It seems like an all villa property, but it's visibly built on the cliff overlooking a golf course. So expect this resort to not be a beach access property..

Looks like a scheduled opening for Q2 2021.

Not much info has been released yet..

Looks like they're saying July 1, 2021 now. I'm not able to see dates and rates yet, but they have a calendar now on the IHG site.

Well I can see it now coming up in the search results for Bali hotels with an indicated opening date of 1 August 2021, but no inventory & rates seem to have been be loaded yet so no idea on cash & points rates. Given it is apparently all villas (50) only this could be interesting option on points if reasonable, but to be seen. Location isn't my favourite down in Benoa / Nusa Dua, but seems reasonably close to the toll road over the water that allows quick access to other parts of BAli and bypasses at least some of the jams on the roads leading up from Jimbaran. YMMV.

Kimpton Naranta is built on the site partially making up of the former Amanusa Hotel. The main building is apparently renovated from the former Amanusa facilities and main pool building.

Some live pictures from the Kimpton Naranta has popped up on some travel agency websites.

While I'm not so keen on the area, potentially getting a villa with pool on points could make it an interesting option to be tried out at least. Let's see as for now no availability seems to have been loaded yet.

Now Available for Booking
 
It appears the hotel has loaded the room availabilities for stays beginning December 01, 2021. The nightly prices starts at 776 USD for an entry level Garden Villa, 816 USD after taxes...

Not going to lie but this is way above what I was expecting them to charge... at that price I'd rather stay at the neighbouring Aman Villas...

Absolutely. The only benefit here is the ability to use points... Is there a way to book higher level rooms with IHG points? (ie the pool suites)

The intersection of location and price give this place an awkward appeal in a very competitive market.

.... which bodes well for RAs seeking redemption nights :D
