the W Resort & Spa Bali is decidedly high-end, in spite of its informal atmosphere and youthful aesthetic.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set right on Petitenget Beach, the resort puts Seminyak's premier strip of designer boutiques, cocktail spots, and beach clubs at your doorstep.
The rooms
Main-building retreats feature oversized terrazzo bathtubs and oceanfront balconies, while secluded villas add private garden plunge pools and outdoor dining areas.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Tiered swimming pools step down toward the beach, and the 24-hour gym is equipped with cardio and boxing gear.
The spa
Treatment rooms glow with electric-blue light at AWAY Spa, alongside hot and cold vitality tubs and a high-oxygen lounge.
Restaurant
FIRE
Flame chandeliers hang above the open show kitchen at FIRE, where steaks sizzle over charcoal and wood grills.
W Bali has an edgy, funky and futuristic design without forgetting Indonesian touches, amid the gray shade dominating the interior.
At the table
Starfish Bloo seats guests in giant woven lobster-pot booths by the water, and Woobar mixes sunset drinks right on the sand.
How it began

Designed by SCDA Architects, the resort reinterprets Balinese heritage through bold futuristic forms and tiered pools inspired by traditional rice terraces.
