New Cultural Tourism Spot 'Amatra Park' Opens in Kerobokan, Bali
A new venue called Amatra Park has opened in Kerobokan, North Kuta, Badung, Bali, timed with Indonesia's Independence Day celebrations. The launch featured a Kecak dance performance and a local small business bazaar, aiming to become a hub for sustainable cultural tourism.
Amatra Park, a new venue in Kerobokan, North Kuta, Badung regency, Bali, officially opened on August 15, 2026, coinciding with Indonesia's 81st Independence Day celebrations. The opening ceremony featured a Kecak dance performance, hypnotherapy demonstrations, and a bazaar showcasing local small and medium enterprises (UMKM), with local political figures and community leaders in attendance.
According to organizer Adhi Mahendra Putra, Amatra Park is intended as a venue for cultural performances and economic empowerment activities, complete with garden grounds, with the long-term goal of becoming a cultural tourism destination. Future programming is expected to include fire dance performances and debus (a traditional self-invulnerability performance) alongside Kecak.
The initiative is framed as part of a broader push toward sustainable tourism in Bali, emphasizing the island's arts and culture rather than natural scenery alone as its distinguishing strength.
For foreign tourists, this adds a new cultural attraction option in the Kerobokan area near Kuta. As of this report, specific details such as ticket prices, operating hours, and a full performance schedule have not been announced.
Things to Consider
If planning to visit Amatra Park, confirm the latest operating hours, admission fees, and performance schedules through a local travel agent, hotel concierge, or social media before going, since details have not been formally published yet. As the venue just opened, operations may still be settling in, so it's advisable to reconfirm event status on the day of your visit.
