Potato Head, Bali

For solo travellers who like their beach time with a side of design, sunset cocktails and a faint sense they’ve stumbled into the coolest house party in Bali, Desa Potato Head in Seminyak is hard to beat. Part hotel, part cultural playground, it’s a beachfront “creative village” where contemporary architecture, local craft and excellent music meet the Indian Ocean. Spend the day drifting between pool, gallery-like spaces and beach club, then watch the sunset with a negroni and the pleasant feeling you’ve accidentally become impossibly cool (again).
