Designed in a collaboration between Jakarta-based architect Andra Matin and Singaporean design firm Takenouchi Webb, the Katamama Hotel boasts all the luxurious amenities one would hope for at a quaint seaside resort, such as an in-pool bar.
With 58 guestrooms all together, the Katamama Hotel perfectly complements its neighbor, Potato Head Beach Club, of which the hotel is an extension. Notably, each of the 58 suites has a private outdoor extension, either in the form of a pool, balcony or garden.
