Nestled in the vibrant coastal enclave of Pererenan, Bali, the newly opened Neon Rose Motel offers a fresh take on retro motel charm with a contemporary, design-led twist. With just four uniquely styled rooms, this boutique hideaway combines playful aesthetics with sustainability and local spirit, making it a standout alternative to Bali’s lush villas and resorts.
Conceived by Malaysian-Australian entrepreneur Min Siah—known for cult-favorite bakeries Starter Lab and Wheatfields—Neon Rose sits tucked down a secret alleyway, offering guests a self-sufficient stay with no front desk fuss. The motel’s blush-hued design, inspired by the island’s signature sugar palm and crafted in collaboration with Singapore architect Chin Nyap, showcases organic curves, textured surfaces, and airy spaces with round windows framing temple rooftops.
Each suite balances style and comfort, featuring daybeds for work or rest, speedy Wi-Fi, blackout curtains, and eco-conscious touches like locally blended bath products and water dispensers to cut plastic waste. The two Work Suites cater to digital nomads, while Bath Suites indulge guests with oversized tubs and hammam-inspired finishes made from recycled and natural materials.
Neon Rose champions sustainability and community, partnering with local recycling initiatives and donating a portion of each stay to Bali’s waterway protection efforts. Located just minutes from the beach, artisan cafes, yoga studios, and boho boutiques, it offers a laid-back yet connected base in one of Time Out’s “38 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World.”
For travelers craving a boutique experience with personality, Neon Rose Motel is a bold new beacon on Bali’s Eastern Seaboard.
