1 Below

For a private affair, 1 Below offers an intimate environment for up to 16 people who want to keep their soiree ‘under wraps’. It’s an exclusive venue that’s stylishly decorated for a dining experience that diners can keep solely to themselves.

Cellar

Six privileged guests can experience intimate dining at its best at the Cellar. Located in the hotel’s premium wine cellar, this restaurant serves international dishes where tasting degustations and wine flights can also be arranged.

Chill Bar

With its edgy design and gorgeous exotic garden, this indoor/outdoor bar is perfect for guests looking for an escape within this island escape. It is amongst the best restaurants in Seminyak and serves a healthy range of fruity smoothies, refreshing foods and tasty green salads.

Fire

This sizzling-grill restaurant provides fire-cooked meat and ocean-fresh seafood for a vibrant mix of flavors. Diners can watch the chefs in action and enjoy the aromas and sounds of the kitchen for a unique dining experience.

Ice Bar

A cool and chilled atmosphere dominates the Ice Bar, where a selection of over 40 wines complement imported artisan cheeses and home-made charcuterie. Diners can enjoy chilled-beats and ice-cold cocktails for elegant dining.

Starfish Bloo

As the quirky name suggests, this restaurant offers an innovative dining experience. Pan-Asian cuisine is combined with Western techniques for subtle infusions and extraordinary taste sensations. Looking out to the Indian Ocean, the dazzling waves make for a beautiful back-drop.

W Lounge

The W Lounge is perfect for enjoying sophisticated evenings with a bespoke cocktail or catching up over afternoon tea. Some quirky-yet-delicious touches have been introduced by Australia's most celebrated patissier Adriano Zumbo, including a Mad T-Party consisting of delectable sweet treats served alongside freshly-brewed coffees, teas and French Champagne.

WOOBAR

Set over three storeys, this partly-alfresco, vibrant venue offers an exciting atmosphere with beautiful natural surrounds. World-class DJs play upbeat tracks which guests can enjoy while dining on the deck or sipping cocktails poolside. A number of Asian and Mediterranean dishes provide fresh and energizing flavours.
