Motel Mexicola Uluwatu

Opened in July 2026, the third and largest Motel Mexicola in Bali swaps the Seminyak original's retro kitsch for Baja California. Architect Carlos Cole of Mexico City designed the mission-style stone and archways, with more than 65 custom tile patterns, murals by Brent Smith and a 21-metre belltower holding one bar at its base and another in the belfry.

A three-metre asador grill burns rambutan and coffee wood for whole snapper and Tijuana lobsters, and tacos come on hand-pressed tortillas. With 45 Mexican spirits behind the bar, the El Maíz margarita is the one to try before the evening becomes a party.
