Three years after its launch, TELU Bar continues to champion sustainability through repurposed materials, artistic collaboration, and a concept rooted in Bali’s culture and community.
TELU Bar at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay celebrates its third anniversary in June 2026, marking three years since an underused area of the resort was transformed into a bar focused on sustainability, design, and local culture. Since its conception, the project was developed using reclaimed materials sourced from previous renovations across the resort. Timber, stone, metal and decorative elements were repurposed and incorporated into the design and furniture, reducing waste while giving existing materials a new function.
Named after the Balinese word for “three”, TELU takes inspiration from the philosophy of harmony between people, nature, and community. This concept is reflected throughout the venue, including its design, cocktail programme, and community initiatives.
To mark the anniversary, TELU has introduced a new artwork by Bali-based artist Michael Hockey of Nyaman Gallery. Known for working with discarded plastics and found materials, Michael was commissioned to create a piece that aligns with the bar’s focus on reuse and sustainability. The artwork explores the idea of transformation, highlighting how materials often considered waste can be repurposed into something new, crafted from unconventional materials such as leftover sandbags from the resort’s renovation, headphones Michael took from an airplane, used shuttlecocks and clothing hangers, and plastic waste collected from beaches across Bali and Australia, his hometown.
Over the past three years, TELU has established itself as a destination for guests seeking a cocktail experience that goes beyond drinks alone. The venue combines contemporary mixology with a commitment to responsible design and support for local creative communities. As TELU enters its fourth year, the bar continues to build on its original concept while introducing new collaborations and experiences. Anniversary celebrations throughout the month will feature its signature cocktails, ongoing sustainability initiatives and the newly unveiled artwork, offering guests an opportunity to experience the latest chapter in the venue’s evolution.
