A leading Bali night spot for the past 18 years, Double Six will enter into a new era with its grand re-opening on July 10 following an extensive refurbishment program. Architect Fredo Taffin of Escpace Consepts of KuDeTa and Gado-Gado fame has designed a venue that is modern in its approach, yet the new Double Six will still be recognizable to old patrons of the popular evening venue. State-of-the-art audio visual systems have been incorporated into the dance club while a sophisticated 24 hour security surveillance system will ensure party-goers remain safe and sound.
Owned by I Made 'Kadek' Wiranatha, Bali entrepreneur extraordinaire, who owns and operates Air Paradise International, Gado-Gado, and Bounty Cruises, Double Six had humble beginnings in the mid-1980s when it first opened amidst paddy fields and music was provided by a simple cassette player driven by a generator set. Over the years, the Double Six became the preferred place to dance until the early hours for Kuta's night owls and international jet-set.
The "new look" Double Six already went through its "soft opening" last month gaining rave reviews for its more up market and secure pesona. Included in the new Double Six is a sophisticated bar - The Paparazzi Lounge replacing the former Italian Restaurant. The lounge takes advantage of the ocean view with a patio deck for those seeking the breeze and a moment's escape from the intense party atmosphere just a few steps away inside Double Six.
New Management Team
Mr. Shaharin Abas Koh has been brought in to head the management team at the new Double Six. He is a Singapore national with nearly two decades of experience earned with Hard Rock Café, Hard Rock Hotels and, most recently, Rumours in the Kerobokan.
Koh is assisted by Justin Alexandra as Events and Promotions Manager and Max Maccini as PR Manager of Papazzi.
The new team has announced its intention to show the world what Bali is capable of presenting via the July 10 re-launch. An entire week of international acts and top DJs are scheduled to add to the excitement of Bali's newest "old" nightspot.
