Daftar tenant KEK Kura Kura Bali — the list of businesses and projects that have formally committed to Serangan’s 498-hectare Special Economic Zone — is shorter than developer marketing suggests, and more substantive than the zone’s critics claim. As of mid-2026, five projects merit a genuine entry in any honest tracker: UID Bali Campus (operational education and cultural center), ACS Bali International School (open since August 2025), The Grand Outlet Bali (a BTID–Mitsubishi Estate joint venture reported at ~92% completion), an unnamed hotel of roughly 140 rooms under construction, and the Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center (announced, status unverified). Each row below carries a sourcing note and a last-verified date. Where the evidence is thin, we say so.
This page is a living tracker. We update it whenever Dewan Nasional KEK, the zone developer PT Bali Turtle Island Development (BTID), or credible secondary reporting adds a confirmed change. The tenant picture matters because it determines whether the zone’s anchor narrative — tourism, creative industry, knowledge economy — is backed by committed capital or is still mostly a masterplan. Our full KEK Kura Kura Bali guide covers the legal framework, investment incentives, and entry process in depth; this piece focuses exclusively on who is actually in, who is under construction, and who remains unverified.
Kenapa Daftar Ini Penting / Why the Tenant List Matters
KEK Kura Kura Bali was formally designated by PP No. 23 Tahun 2023 (signed 5 April 2023). The PP set a 36-month ready-to-operate deadline — a target that arrived around April 2026. One measure of zone health is not just infrastructure completion (roads, power, water, telecoms are reported complete) but the quality and variety of tenants that have signed leases, broken ground, or opened doors. A zone with a handful of education and retail anchors is a different proposition from one where every announced project is still in feasibility.
Realized investment in KEK Kura Kura Bali stood at approximately IDR 1.62 trillion and around 2,100 jobs by April 2026, based on a single secondary source. A Ministry of Tourism release for the first half of 2025 reported IDR 260.96 billion — roughly 14.53% of that year’s annual investment target. Both figures are directional, not definitive; we have not independently cross-verified them against kek.go.id’s live data. The zone’s lifetime investment target runs to IDR 104 trillion by approximately 2052. Early tenants are setting the tone for the decades ahead.
Tenant Tracker Table — Status Per Juni 2026
The table below consolidates all projects we can trace to a named entity with a verifiable commitment. “Operational” means open to users or tenants. “Under construction” means groundbreaking has occurred. “Reported near-completion” means credible secondary reporting indicates substantial construction progress but formal opening has not been confirmed. “Announced / unverified” means the project appears in official communications or reputable media but current status cannot be confirmed through available sources.
| Tenant / Project | Kategori | Status | Last Verified | Source Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UID Bali Campus (Unity in Diversity) | Education / Cultural Center | Operational | June 2026 | HIGH — confirmed operational across multiple sources |
| ACS Bali International School | International School (IB curriculum) | Open — August 2025 | June 2026 | HIGH — opening date confirmed in multiple credible reports |
| The Grand Outlet Bali (BTID × Mitsubishi Estate JV) | Luxury retail / open-air outlet | Reported ~92% complete; soft opening mid-2026 | June 2026 | MEDIUM — ⚠️ single secondary source (balibusinessnews.com); confirm with BTID before citing in legal or investment documents |
| Unnamed luxury hotel (~140+ rooms) | Hospitality | Under construction; target Q4 2026 / early 2027 | June 2026 | MEDIUM — existence confirmed in secondary reporting; brand/operator NOT named in available sources — do not invent a brand |
| Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center | Research / Higher Education | ⚠️ Announced / Status Unverified | June 2026 | LOW — appears in zone narrative and masterplan references; current operational or construction status CANNOT be confirmed from available sources. Verify directly with BTID or Tsinghua SEA Center before treating as active |
Note: “Marina (145-berth)” appears frequently in BTID masterplan materials. We have not found credible confirmation of a construction start date or operational status. It is not included as a tenant entry in this tracker — it remains a planned asset until verifiable evidence of commitment is available.
Profil Tenant: Detail Per Proyek / Tenant Profiles
1. UID Bali Campus (Unity in Diversity) — Operational
The UID Bali Campus is KEK Kura Kura’s most established institutional tenant. Unity in Diversity is a nonprofit foundation focused on cross-cultural education and dialogue; its Bali campus functions as both an educational center and a cultural hub. It is operational — not a rendering, not a groundbreaking announcement. For prospective tenants evaluating the zone’s knowledge economy positioning, UID is the anchor that gives that narrative its most concrete form.
What UID does not do is generate the commercial footfall that a retail or hospitality anchor would. Its value to the zone is reputational and contextual: it establishes a credible “values and ideas” dimension alongside the commercial programming, which matters for attracting universities, think tanks, and cultural institutions to co-locate.
2. ACS Bali International School — Open since August 2025
Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) is a well-regarded Singapore-origin school group with campuses across Asia. The Bali campus opened in August 2025 offering an International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum from preschool through high school. This is a high-value anchor for KEK Kura Kura for a specific reason: international school quality is a hard constraint for expatriate families considering long-term residence. When a credible IB school opens inside a zone, the family-relocation calculus for executives and senior employees shifts.
The opening date — August 2025 — is confirmed in multiple reports. The school’s curriculum breadth (preschool to high school IB) makes it relevant across a wide age range, not just secondary education. For investors planning to base a regional headquarters or knowledge economy operation in the zone, ACS removes one of the most common objections from incoming talent.
ACS Bali is not a public school and carries premium fee structures typical of Singapore-affiliate international schools in Southeast Asia. That fee level is consistent with the zone’s positioning but should be factored into workforce planning cost models for potential tenants.
3. The Grand Outlet Bali — BTID × Mitsubishi Estate JV
This is the zone’s highest-profile commercial project. The Grand Outlet Bali is a joint venture between BTID and Mitsubishi Estate, the Japanese real estate developer. It is positioned as Bali’s first open-air luxury retail outlet — a format that has proven durable in Japan (outlets like Gotemba Premium Outlets, also Mitsubishi Estate projects) and increasingly across Southeast Asia.
Mitsubishi Estate’s involvement matters beyond the construction capital. Their track record in premium outlet curation — reportedly over 100 global brands committed to the project — means the tenant mix, when it opens, should reflect genuine luxury positioning rather than outlet filler. That said, an outlet’s commercial performance depends on throughput: visitor numbers, dwell time, and spending propensity. Bali has the visitor volume; whether the outlet format captures a meaningful share of that spending will be visible in its first operating seasons.
⚠️ The ~92% completion figure and the mid-2026 soft-opening target come from a single secondary source (balibusinessnews.com, April 2026). We have not been able to verify this against a BTID press release or official kek.go.id update. Treat this as directional. If you are making a commercial decision that depends on the outlet opening on schedule, verify directly with BTID or the Administrator KEK.
4. Unnamed Hotel (~140+ Rooms) — Under Construction
Secondary reporting references a hotel under construction targeting approximately 140 or more rooms, with an expected completion around Q4 2026 or early 2027. The existence of this project is credible — hotel development inside a tourism SEZ is structurally logical, and the timeline aligns with the zone’s overall construction cadence.
What is not available in any source we reviewed: the operator’s name or brand. This matters. A 140-room hotel in a new SEZ will perform very differently depending on whether the operator is a globally recognized luxury brand, a regional boutique group, or an independent manager. The difference affects everything from room-rate achievability to international booking-channel distribution.
We will not invent a brand name here. If you are researching this project for investment, hospitality industry, or competitor analysis purposes, the right channel is a direct inquiry to BTID. We will update this entry when an operator name is publicly confirmed.
5. Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center — ⚠️ Status Unverified
Tsinghua University’s Southeast Asia Center has appeared in discussions about KEK Kura Kura Bali’s knowledge district narrative. Tsinghua is one of China’s premier research universities; a Southeast Asia research presence would be a genuine signal for the zone’s academic-economy positioning.
The problem is verification. We cannot confirm from available sources whether the center is operational, under construction, at a lease-signing stage, or still in concept discussions. The project appears in zone narrative materials and has been referenced in some coverage of Kura Kura’s ambitions, but we have not found a primary-source document — a press release, a Tsinghua announcement, a kek.go.id update — that pins down the current status.
Until we can verify, we flag it. We will update this entry when credible primary-source confirmation becomes available. If you have access to primary documentation on the Tsinghua SEA Center’s status, our enquiry form reaches our research desk directly.
What the Tracker Tells Us About Zone Maturity
Five projects. Two are operational. One is near completion by credible account. One is under construction with an unknown operator. One is unverified. That is the honest picture in mid-2026 — roughly three years after PP 23/2023 was signed.
Compare that with KEK Sanur, which by April 2026 had realized approximately IDR 5.37 trillion and employed around 5,444 people, anchored by Bali International Hospital’s April 2025 soft opening. Sanur had a clearer single-anchor thesis (medical tourism via IHC and the Mayo Clinic collaboration) and a smaller footprint (41.26 hectares vs 498). A smaller, more focused zone with a government-backed hospital operator will show faster realization than a large, mixed-use creative economy zone that depends on private commercial tenants committing to a new destination.
Neither comparison is a verdict. Kura Kura’s scale — 498 hectares is substantial, roughly four times the size of Dubai’s DIFC — means it is building for a longer arc. The Mitsubishi Estate partnership is institutional validation. ACS opening on schedule is evidence that commitments convert to operations. The unresolved question is whether the zone accumulates a critical mass of tenants within the next two to three years to generate the self-reinforcing activation that successful mixed-use districts require.
If you are evaluating KEK Kura Kura as a prospective tenant or co-investor, this tracker is one input. The others — fiscal incentive eligibility, space availability, BTID commercial terms, and the Administrator KEK’s licensing posture — are covered in our KEK Kura Kura Bali investor guide.

Sektor yang Belum Terisi / Sector Gaps Visible in the Tracker
Reading the current tenant list against KEK Kura Kura’s formal PP sectors (tourism + creative industry) reveals some gaps worth noting for investors in adjacent categories.
Entertainment and recreation — the PP elucidation lists this as a permitted activity, and the Grand Outlet Bali has entertainment dimensions. But no standalone entertainment anchor (theme park, performing arts venue, immersive experience center) is publicly committed. This is both a gap and an opportunity; the first serious operator in this category would have zone-incumbent positioning and potentially favorable terms from BTID.
Multimedia content and communication technology — the creative industry sector permits production studios, content houses, and technology-adjacent media businesses. Nothing in the current tenant list represents this category. The zone’s pitch to creative economy companies is structurally sound — lower import duties on production equipment, customs facilities for content delivery infrastructure, proximity to Bali’s existing creative community — but no tenant has yet made it concrete.
MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) — BTID materials reference MICE as a target use, and the zone’s connectivity (20 minutes to Ngurah Rai Airport) positions it reasonably. No dedicated conference or convention facility appears in the current tenant list. The hotel under construction will presumably include event space, but a zone-scale MICE facility remains unannounced.
Food and beverage / F&B clusters — retail outlets without food and beverage tend to underperform on dwell time. Whether the Grand Outlet Bali includes F&B anchors is not confirmed in available sources.
These gaps are editorial observations, not investment recommendations. They reflect where the zone’s formal sector permissions currently lack committed tenants — which is exactly the kind of information a zone analyst should track.
Metodologi Tracker Ini / How We Maintain This Tracker
We apply three criteria before adding a project to this tracker as anything above “announced”:
- Named entity. A tenant entry must have a company or institutional name attached. Unnamed projects appear in the “under construction” category with that gap clearly flagged.
- Verifiable commitment. Lease signing, groundbreaking, construction activity, or operational status confirmed in a primary source (kek.go.id, official BTID releases, Dewan Nasional KEK publications) or in at least two independent credible secondary sources.
- Dated sourcing. Every row carries a last-verified date. Stale entries get reviewed and either updated or removed. We do not let old confirmations stand in for current status.
⚠️ Monetization note: No entity — including BTID, zone tenants, or government agencies — can pay to change what appears in this tracker or how it is characterized. If you find our research useful and proceed with a zone entry partner we have vetted, that partner may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you. That is how this site funds its research function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Siapa saja tenant yang sudah beroperasi di KEK Kura Kura Bali?
Per Juni 2026, dua tenant yang sudah beroperasi penuh adalah UID Bali Campus (Unity in Diversity), sebuah pusat pendidikan dan budaya, serta ACS Bali International School yang dibuka pada Agustus 2025 dengan kurikulum IB dari preschool hingga SMA. The Grand Outlet Bali (JV antara BTID dan Mitsubishi Estate) dilaporkan hampir selesai dengan target soft opening pertengahan 2026, namun angka ini berasal dari satu sumber sekunder dan perlu dikonfirmasi ke BTID.
Who is the hotel operator for the ~140-room hotel under construction at KEK Kura Kura Bali?
The hotel operator has not been publicly named in any source available to us as of mid-2026. The hotel’s existence and its approximate room count (~140+) are referenced in secondary reporting, but no brand affiliation has been confirmed. We will update this tracker when a credible primary-source announcement is made. Do not rely on any source that claims a specific brand without citing an official press release from BTID or the hotel group itself.
Apakah Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center sudah beroperasi di Kura Kura Bali?
Status Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center belum dapat diverifikasi dari sumber yang tersedia. Proyek ini muncul dalam narasi zona terkait klaster pengetahuan, namun kami belum menemukan konfirmasi primer — baik dari situs resmi Tsinghua, siaran pers BTID, maupun pembaruan kek.go.id — yang menetapkan apakah pusat ini sudah operasional, sedang dibangun, atau masih dalam tahap diskusi. Tandai sebagai “belum terverifikasi” dalam setiap analisis investasi Anda dan verifikasi langsung ke BTID.
How often is this tenant tracker updated?
We review this tracker whenever Dewan Nasional KEK, BTID, or a credible independent publication reports a material change in zone status. Each row carries its own last-verified date. We do not update the page with unverified rumors or marketing materials — only when a commitment can be sourced. If you are aware of a confirmed development not reflected here, use our enquiry form to flag it for our research team.
Is the marina at KEK Kura Kura Bali built and operational?
Not as of mid-2026. A 145-berth marina appears consistently in BTID masterplan materials and has been cited in coverage of the zone’s long-term vision. We have not found confirmation of a construction start date, an operator announcement, or operational status in primary or credible secondary sources. Until that evidence is available, the marina is treated as a planned asset in this tracker, not a committed tenant or completed facility.
