As a hospitality management company managing premium properties and luxury villas in Bali, Kanaan Hospitality faced a significant challenge in providing stable internet connectivity across its diverse villa locations, including relatively remote areas like Uluwatu, Ungasan, and other exclusive tourist destinations. By partnering with Gecko Internet, Kanaan Hospitality successfully delivered a reliable internet experience to international guests without sacrificing the exclusive locations that are the main attraction of their properties.
Challenge
Premium Villa Location in a Remote Area
Some of Kanaan Hospitality's properties are located in areas offering high privacy and an exclusive atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Locations like the hills of Uluwatu, Ungasan, and private villa areas often have limited telecommunications infrastructure compared to urban areas.
High Expectations from International Guests
The majority of luxury villa guests today are not only vacationing but also working remotely. Many of these guests come from:
- Digital nomad
- Entrepreneur
- Investor
- Company executives
- Long-stay traveler
They need a connection that can support:
- Uninterrupted video conference
- international VPN
- Cloud storage
- High quality streaming
- Real-time business communications
Even the slightest internet outage can impact the customer experience and reviews.

In addition to guest needs, Kanaan Hospitality operations also require connectivity for:
- Online reservation system
- OTA channel manager
