When Fire Meets the Sea in Nusa Dua

When Fire Meets the Sea in Nusa Dua

For two unforgettable nights in July, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali invites you to witness the raw power of open flame as Australia’s fire dining maestro Chef Charly Pretet transforms Ikan into a beachfront theatre of smoke, instinct and unrivalled culinary artistry.

This July, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali will host an exciting culinary event as it welcomes Chef Charly Pretet, an innovative force in open-fire cooking from Australia. For two special evenings, Ikan Restaurant will showcase Chef Pretet’s renowned Terra Firma Dining experience, transforming the beachfront into a vibrant setting of crackling wood and aromatic smoke.

Chef Pretet, who has gained recognition for his unique approach to open-fire cooking along Australia’s Sunshine Coast, brings his passion for elemental gastronomy to Bali for the first time. The event, titled “Fireside and Beach Vibes: Cooking Without Boundaries”, is intended to provide guests with a tasting journey focused on creativity and fresh seasonal ingredients rather than a set menu.

As the sun sets, guests will gather by the water’s edge to sip craft cocktails while taking in live cooking demonstrations over open flames. Each course will be distinct, infused with flavours that highlight the raw elements of fire and earth, creating a dining experience that aims to nourish both the body and mind. 

Chef Pretet views his cooking philosophy as one that transcends boundaries, stating, “I cook without borders. Fire is the oldest, purest way to create food. I’m thrilled to bring that raw energy to Ikan, blending the spirit of Bali with the soul of fire dining. Expect crackle, char, and a lot of heart.”

The event will take place on 11–12 July 2025, where Ikan Beachfront will serve as the backdrop for this unique culinary celebration. With limited seating available, the dining experience is priced at IDR1,200,000++ per person or can be redeemed with 14,634 Marriott Bonvoy Points.
