As you drive along Pererenan’s main strip, a brutalist-inspired, erracotta façade emerges through the trees. It’s the antithesis of the common white-washed, Balinese grand hotels. Instead, Further Hotel is drenched in warmth and earthy tones, grounding you to the place. Opened in July 2023, the 26-room property has slowly embedded itself into the local community by building along, not up. The diffuso concept now unfolds across five buildings dotted throughout the neighbourhood. The main building hosts 18 rooms along with Bar Vera, a surf shop, concept store and Portion, a recently opened rooftop pool serving food. Nearby are Studio A, Further Gallery, located beside St. Ali Coffee Roasters’ first international outpost, and an Urban Retreat Day Spa. Together, they create a hotel experience that aims to preserve the rhythm of the local community and feels lived-in.
