Poppies Bali – A Favorite for Families in Kuta (Bali)

Poppies Bali offers twenty thatch-roofed cottages set in gardens of hibiscus, jasmine, and frangipani. Each cottage includes a king-size bed or two single beds, with options for extra beds or baby cots. Rooms feature split-type air conditioning, ceiling fans, DVD/CD players with MP3 input, digital TV with 30+ channels, and safety deposit boxes. Private bathrooms contain sunken marble bathtubs and showers. Red brick paths wind through the property past lily ponds and waterfalls beneath ancient coconut palms.

Poppies Restaurant, established in 1973, serves fresh seafood, Indonesian cuisine, and international dishes in a tropical garden setting. Signature items include the Rijsttafel rice table feast, homemade chicken liver pâté, garlic prawns, and the world-famous Pina Colada served in hand-carved coconuts. The restaurant prepares sauces daily without MSG and marks gluten-sensitive and vegetarian options. Room service operates from 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM, with breakfast available from 7:00 AM when ordered in advance.

The swimming pool and jacuzzi area sits in a secluded garden corner among natural rocks and cascades, with discreet sun-bathing terraces and bougainvillea. An attendant is on duty from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and there is a shallow area for children. Steps lead to a reading room and intimate pool bar serving drinks and lunch. The property maintains extensive gardens with vegetable beds in Bedugul and an orchard in Luwus supplying the restaurants.

Poppies Bali is located in Downtown Kuta, a 300-meter walk from Kuta Beach.
