Located along Bali’s south coast between Kerobokan and Echo Beach in Canggu, Desa Kitsunè embraces Indonesia’s rich culture, art, and spirituality. This property is also Maison Kitsuné’s debut foray into luxury hospitality after fashion (Maison Kitsuné), music (Kitsuné Musique) and cafés, roasteries, bars and restaurants (Café Kitsuné).

Visitors often come to Bali for its vitality and tranquillity. This property will be a one-of-a-kind destination that brings together Balinese culture and the epitome of Kitsuné’s art de vivre – a lifestyle unique to the brand founded by Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki.

Desa means “village” in Indonesian. So, this significance will reflect the immersive journey of a creative mini village where visitors will never want to leave.

On Desa Kitsunè’s Instagram page, it teased the brand’s iconic fox on site as a sculpture. Kitsuné’s signature character is transformed into totems inspired by Indonesian temple art, testifying to Bali’s passion for sculpture.

“When you have a bit of credibility in the fact that we’re a good music label, that we make our own clothes and our own coffee, that we care about quality, I think all these entities make sense with the idea of hospitality, especially in Bali where there’s this incredible energy that you want to be a part of. Desa sounds like an achievement, a proud promise, it’s strong and it’s an important step in Kitsuné’s development,” said Maison Kitsuné’s co-founder Gildas Loaëc.

The exact address, opening date, and more details for Desa Kitsunè will be revealed in the coming months.

Desa Kitsuné will open at Echo Beach, Canggu, in early 2024.
