W Retreat & Spa Bali opens in March

Located in Seminyak, the uber-cool and trendy beachfront enclave of Bali, W Retreat & Spa Bali - Seminyak is the latest playground which will emanate the destination's exuberance and reinvent the local Bali scene when it officially opens on 1st March 2011.

Showcasing innovative architecture by SCDA Architects and interior design by Poole Associates Private Limited and AB Concept, W Retreat & Spa Bali - Seminyak has been designed to exude an exhilarating look and feel that flirts with the counterpoints of conceal/reveal and inside/outside of Bali's legendary night mysticism, allowing guests to mix and mingle, to be part of the scene or remain unseen as they escape to their own retreats.

W Retreat & Spa Bali - Seminyak will be more than just a holiday destination – it is poised to become a playground with definitive entertainment, fashion, culinary and nightlife destination on Seminyak for the guests and the community in Bali. Guests can sip cocktails at the ultra-cool W Lounge, groove the night away in WooBar and enjoy unforgettable dining experiences at W's signature restaurants, Fire and Starfish Bloo – headed up by acclaimed Chef de Cuisine Jack Yoss.

Guests may choose from one of 158 Wonderful and Spectacular retreats and suites, offering a sensational swirl of high-energy interiors, vivid design, cutting-edge technology and uniquely modern amenities to fulfill every wish. The retreats are among the largest on the island, with the majority of them offering views of the Indian Ocean. Seventy-nine villa retreats are also available, each with private entrance and pool.

Guests can also be whisked away at the WET® pool, Sweat Fitness® center, and AWAY® Spa, an urban escape for the senses. A wellness escape open 24/7/365, AWAY® Spa offers guests, including weary travelers arriving in the wee hours after a long flight, and in-the-know locals around-the-clock signature treatments in a cool and playful way. Guests will also have an every-day invitation to enjoy the WET® pool and SWEAT® fitnesscenter, in addition to taking in the celebrated Seminyak sunset from comfy sofas on the beach.
