W Retreat & Spa
In true W spirit, the W Retreat & Spa in the heart of Seminyak presents a hub of cutting edge luxury; the food, fashion and nightlife destination where globe trotters come to see and to-be-seen. Described as a sizzling, stylish playground, it’s easy to forget there’s a world outside of this hedonistic Mecca, adorned with luxurious suites, an idyllic beach, breathtaking pools, and premier drinking and dining hotspots. Rise and shine with a delectable tapas brunch at the signature chill-out spot, The W Lounge, strewn with magnificent day beds precisely positioned to lap up the coastal breezes. Set against the glistening Indian Ocean, the outdoor fine dining restaurant Starfish Bloo serves up decadent Pan-Asian fare, washed down with sumptuous designer cocktails. Be sure to try the soy and mirin-braised pork belly with black truffle lobster congee and crisp parsnips, and as the skies melt to a molten-gold sunset, indulge in the eye-catching Eye Candy cocktail, decorated with pink fluffy candy-floss.
Swap your sandals for stilettos at the ultra-cool WooBar and dance the night away as international DJ’s spin the latest tunes with the added melody of the surrounding crashing waves. In true W fashion, the resort hosted Bali’s party of the year in March as a renowned international DJ and world-famous contemporary artist, Alec Monopoly, dazzled guests ‘til dawn. Beachfront bars equipped with freshly squeezed juices help to relieve the morning after the night before.
