Overlooking the sparkling, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and hidden amongst swaying palm trees, this five-star luxury retreat offers the ultimate utopian dream. It is located in one of the world’s most exclusive destinations, also referred to as the ‘Island of Gods’, and is a typical representation of the tropical exquisiteness of Asia. A combination of sleek, contemporary design, traditional Balinese touches and the beauty of the unspoilt natural surroundings is what makes this destination an indulgent getaway. Boasting an impressive eight accommodation options over 237 retreats, villas and suites, guests are met with either striking garden views of rich, verdant foliage or stunning ocean scenes with panoramic seascapes. Light, spacious rooms with contemporary design that have been finished with delicate Balinese touches provide guests with their own exotic oasis. A number of decadent bars and restaurants provide guests with sophisticated dining options to suit every taste. Guests can spend days of peace and tranquility, relaxing by the resort’s pool, listening to the waves on the beach, getting fit in the gym or indulging in luxurious treatments at the spa. 

Why We Love This Hotel

Location: Set on Seminyak’s enviable coastline, W Retreat and Spa is conveniently poised to offer stunning and unspoilt ocean views, yet is just a short walk away from Bali’s most decadent restaurants and clubs and elegant boutiques and galleries.

History: This relatively new hotel represents one of W’s first moves into Southeast Asia, and a successful move it has been to date.

Service: With a 24-hour “Whatever/ Whenever” concierge service, nothing is too much to ask in the W Hotel.
