W BALI — SEMINYAK

When it comes to the neighborhoods of Bali, Seminyak is synonymous with style, and the beachfront W resort has that in spades. From its muchphotographed tiered pool inspired by the island’s rice terraces to accommodations with eye-popping decor and a 24hour spa offering midnight massages, W Bali–seminyak is a playground for savvy travelers seeking out equal doses of fivestar luxury and fun.

The resort’s 229 guest rooms, suites, and villas feature polished wooden floors, tilework, and pops of color informed by the island’s fertile countryside and fiery sunsets. After enjoying a relaxing soak in your own terrazzo bathtub, a good night’s sleep is all but guaranteed– beds here come with 350-thread-count cotton linens and goose-down duvets. If you want to go all out, splurge on one of the multi-bedroom pool villas or the Extreme Wow Panoramic Ocean View suite, a split-level bolthole with a double-height living room.

And come mealtime, the options are just as decadent. Sunday brunch is a must-do at breezy seafront restaurant Starfish Bloo, where chefs dish up a dizzying cornucopia of panAsian fare, while the wood-fired grill at Fire turns out mouthwatering gourmet pizzas, seafood, and dry-aged meats cooked to perfection. For Bali-inspired snacks, high tea with a twist, or martinis and specialty tipples that harness local ingredients, W Lounge is the place to go.

Fit, the in-house gym, allows guests to look their best, and a detox at the 24-hour Away Spa will have you blissed out in no time, thanks to its impressive facilities and an extensive menu of treatments, including body wraps, facials, and wellness rituals that can be delivered in a beachfront cabana. Visiting musicians will want to book a session in the stateof-the-art Sound Suite, the resort’s private recording studio.
