"Be a Potato Head in Bali Though it has a silly name, the Potato Head Beach Club on Seminyak beach is a cool spot to spend the day. A collage of antique 18th-century veranda shades surrounds an amphitheater-like space that contains a beach bar, a grassy lawn, and an infinity pool. Three additional restaurants (one homey, one Southeast Asian, one high-end) and a stellar concert lineup make Potato Head a destination, morning ‘til night. A soon-to-open boutique hotel will extend the party even further. Jln. Petitenget, Seminyak, Bali 80361, Indonesia, 62/(0) 361 473 7979."
"A giant amphitheater built from brushed concrete and reclaimed wood, Potato Head bills itself as Bali’s home of tropical modernism. With daybeds positioned around the infinity pool, a swim-up bar, and three restaurants, Potato Head serves as the center of the island's creative scene, regularly hosting film screenings, cultural conventions, and world-famous DJs on its outdoor dance floors. The club and its surrounding complex of boutiques and coffee bars will drop the jaws of even the most jaded of travelers. You’ll want to clear your schedule to make the most of an afternoon and evening here." - Xerxes Cook
"The club’s towering “amphitheater” façade of reclaimed antique shutters is likened to Rome’s Colosseum—the bar’s reputation in Bali is similarly iconic. Indonesian-built, sourced and owned, Potato Head is a sustainable multiplex of restaurants, bars and an infinity pool, packed with chilled, trendy clientele arriving from the greater Seminyak area or next door from Katamama, its sister boutique hotel. Not resting on its upcycled good looks, the bar’s cocktails are mixology-grade—like the vanilla tequila and arak-based Big Swirl served in a seashell cup—with a menu replete with illustrations and flavor profiles. Rotating music maestros range from DJs spinning mid-tempo grooves to Mark Ronson and Snoop Dogg bringing the heat to the island’s coolest beach club. Don’t miss it." - Travis Levius
"An environmental art installation composed of more than 5,000 collected plastic flip-flops—assembled with a sustainably harvested bamboo frame and created with local communities—stands at the venue's entrance in Seminyak to highlight the island's plastic-waste problem; the piece was built from discarded footwear gathered along the west coast and is on public display through the end of the year." - Rachna Sachasinh, Illustration by Lim Yi Ling
"Set against palm trees and dramatic sunsets at a beachfront club, the event pairs a tropical party vibe with tangible waste-management measures: the stage is built from recycled plastic bottles, drinks are served in biodegradable cups, and eco-minded art installations are dotted around the grounds. Organizers explicitly prioritize reducing single-use waste while delivering a scenic, beach-club festival experience." - Arwen Joyce
