Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, one of the region's newest and highly-anticipated upscale resorts, today announced the launch of its vibrant and engaging destination video http://youtu.be/KMdNMvWDJIo, which is designed to introduce travelers to the property as well as the new Kuta experience, including top cultural and historic attractions, recreational activities, events, shopping venues, and culinary delights.

"We are thrilled to debut the Kuta Destination Video, which highlights how Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is transforming the Kuta experience together with Beachwalk," said Dario Orsini, general manager of Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort.  "The new video, which will be shared with guests prior to arrival as well as on the hotel website and social media pages, invites them to experience our incredible resort in the midst of 'the new Kuta,' which now offers the region's best shopping, dining, and entertainment venues."

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is conveniently connected to Bali's latest shopping destination, Beachwalk, which is an unprecedented hub of retail, dining, and entertainment that sits directly in front of Kuta Beach, better known as surfer's paradise.  Together, Sheraton and Beachwalk have completely revitalized the Kuta experience, transforming the region from a former fishing village to a chic, cosmopolitan destination appealing to the most sophisticated international and domestic travelers, from families and couples to girlfriend getaways.

As is showcased throughout the destination video, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is an exclusive retreat for guests, amidst spacious open-air terrace, outdoor rooftop pool and unrivalled panoramic views of the ocean. The resort introduces 203 spacious guest rooms and suites, each fitted with the signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper® Bed and featuring a spacious private balcony with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean or the resort's signature social courtyard. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort also features a signature two-story Oceanic view Presidential Suite with contemporary approach of Balinese interior and private sundeck lounge.

Travelers can enjoy Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort's culinary venues, including its signature restaurant Feast, with its vibrant open-kitchen located alongside Beachwalk, or the indulgent Bene, a light-hearted Italian trattoria with stunning ocean views. The Lounge offers inspired collection of eclectic offerings with the simplicity of tapas or finely concocted drinks.  The resort has also introduced daily Sunset Gatherings, which offer culinary enthusiasts a selection of wines from Starwood's Wines of the World collection along with gourmet canapés, artisanal cheese and bread, and handmade wood-fired pizzas.

To keep travelers fit and energized, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort introduces Sheraton Fitness by Core Performance with lifestyle designed training programs; the rejuvenating Shine Spa for Sheraton, which offers signature treatments blending East and West with local Balinese touches; and Color Your Plate, a simple three colors approach to a healthy food program.

Centrally located at the heart of Pantai Kuta and just 5 kilometers away from Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), the resort's elevated position from level 2 and above presents the best ocean and beach view.
