The Colony Hotel Seminyak, Bali

Jalan Laksmana No.22, Seminyak, Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia (show on map)

Tucked away down a quiet lane right in the beating heart of Seminyak, The Colony Hotel is a gorgeous, adults-only sanctuary that feels a million miles away from the outside bustle. Despite its central location near iconic spots like Ku De Ta, it acts as a peaceful, hidden oasis designed specifically for travelers seeking a quieter, more intimate escape.

The most fascinating thing about the hotel is its striking aesthetic. Rather than traditional Balinese design, the architecture embraces Indonesia’s rich history with a stunning Dutch colonial-style theme. With its stark white facades, elegant arches, checkerboard tiled floors, and dark wood accents, the property effortlessly channels the nostalgic charm of a vintage era.

The layout is uniquely intimate, originally opening with just 20 beautifully curated rooms symmetrically wrapped around a central, crystal-clear 16-meter swimming pool. This clever design ensures that guests can step right out of their light-filled suites and immediately soak in the tropical vibes, heavily framed by lush greenery and frangipani trees.

It is essentially a masterclass in “elegance without pretension.” By deliberately keeping the scale small and maintaining a strict no-kids policy, the hotel creates a uniquely sophisticated, boutique house-party vibe where you can enjoy a quiet morning coffee by the water in total serenity.

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“There’s one big plus point about staying at The Colony Hotel: no children under the age of 16 allowed. Not to be overlooked are the 20 rooms done up in a pretty but minimalist decor.”

The hotel is hugely overpriced for what it offers

Only the pool / location

The breakfast is awful — it’s just one small dish and we’re still hungry afterward. The room is not beautiful at all and lacks refinement. The price is exorbitant; for the quality of the services, it should be at least three times cheaper. There’s a terrible noise in the pool area. Nothing works in this hotel — everything needs to be reviewed. It absolutely doesn’t deserve its 9.1 rating

Pretty, great location, but not a lot of privacy.

Property is beautiful and pool is great. I have had a great time at the colony previously but this time I felt a little bit like an after thought.

There were worms coming out my shower.

Lovely boutique hotel centrally located

Staff were super friendly and helpful for my short stay. Walking distance to main shopping strip, bars and cafes. Hotel has a lovely boutique feel about it, tasteful decor and nice little pool.bed very comfortable !

There was a smell from the drain thar was hard to ignore although it did go away after a little while. Poolside room was a little noisy with the running water and cats around but to be expected in a busy location

Exceeded our expectations by far , age group target was perfect for us , all friendly !

Pretty well everything was in it's place and we had a great time . Maybe the tall tree blocking the sun at the Club pool area could be lowered, everyone was commenting . Thanks for great stay , see ya next year

Very good

The location close to the beach was short distance. The design of the hotel and pool area. And so close to Kim Soo restaurant. Staff are nice and friendly

It’s not that new as it shows in pictures Location is door to door with a club so was hard to sleep at night it’s like u are above a club. Quality of food breakfast is not wow I felt lack of staff but they did their best to serve in a quick manners. Lack of staff attending at the pool

All in all a nice few days spent here

The location is great for exploring Seminyak & Pettitenget. Lovely surrounds and garden along with a good swimming pool although at times it was hard to get a deck chair!

Breakfast was extremely busy on one of the days and all the food items came out under cooked. No proper coffee served either just a coffee machine.......... It would have been nice to have some kind of balcony/seating area outside your room.

Fantastic boutique hotel in a great location!

Fantastic location, 2 min walk to beach, shops, and restaurants. Lovely large, light comfy room, which was very clean and I liked that it had an iron and board available in the room. Bed and pillows were both very comfy. Lovely pool area, staff were very accommodating in helping with sun lounges so we could sit by the pool. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Great little shop/restaurant next door, that offered a great menu. Breakfast was good, I liked that it was cooked to order.

Good breakfast! Also had room service - satay was excellent! Really liked the architecture of the hotel, transported me back to a bygone era when right smacked in Semiyak. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The lobby patio seems somewhat wasted as perhaps more activities could happen out there with better fans and cooling devices and drinks or coffee or even breakfasts.

The best shall hotel in Bali

Probably the best hotel we have stayed at in Bali. Great sized room. Fantastic pool. Staff and facilities. Have stayed at the Seminyak, the W and the Legian and aside from beach side location they are not as h Good.

The only criticism is the kettle in the room takes about 10 mins to boil.

Elegant and charming hotel.

Our stay in the Colony hotel was nothing but wonderful. We stayed in another hotel in Seminyak first and passed by the Colony a couple of times and liked the look of it, sometimes the front looks nice and the rest is not that great, but the Colony is charming and elegant from start to finish. You walk into a beautiful lobby, where you are warmly welcomed by the staff. After a couple of sleepless nights due to sound we moved to the Colony and when I told about our previous experience we got an upgrade to a very quiet and beautiful junior suite. The service is excellent with house keeping coming in while we enjoyed breakfast to tidy the room up, replace towels, water etc. and at night to make the room ready for the night again.

Two small recommendations are replacing the coffee machine as the coffee is not that great and on several occasions we waited a bit too long for food that we ordered. Having said that I will definitely be coming back and recommending the hotel to anyone who is looking for an elegant stay in Seminyak.
