If you’re looking for an authentic Asian experience on your next jaunt to at Bali, stop reading.
However, if you want some rockstar chic, a dash of Californian glamour, and a hint of mischief, well, you’ve come to the right place.W Hotel, you got this. And here’s why:
1. Poolside high jinks
Despite the dubious name, the Wet Deck area is an impossibly cool poolside featuring, in no particular order:
• Cabana-style day beds
• Floating frozen cocktails
• Water toys and chunky bean bags
• Free Wi-Fi to capture bragworthy sunset snaps
• Pool boys offering complimentary massages and refreshing towels
Who wouldn’t want to brag?
Decorative touches you’ll just want to kiss!
2. Party-worthy bedrooms
You know you’re in for a Vegas-style fun holiday when you’re greeted by a pumping soundtrack the first time you enter your private abode. The W tunes are that good (and available to purchase) it’s enough to make you want to throw a party. The rooms are big too – enough for a gathering of 12, I’d say 😉

Sick of this view? When pigs fly!
3. The buffet breakfast
Anywhere you can get this before midday is a sure-fire winner in my eyes:
The breakfast of champions!
If you get past the chocolate fountain, you’ll also find a smorgasbord of incredible breakfast goodies ranging from fresh sushi, full western buffet, a la carte specialties, and Balinese curries. A-mazing.
4. W-branded stuff
I didn’t want to get sucked into the whole W-branded merch thing. I didn’t want to be one of those wannabes taking selfies in front of the W sign. I didn’t want to… but I did. And I didn’t stop at the sign. Cue the W-branded cappuccino, bathrobe, slippers, and quirky amenity kit. Totally sucked in. W for Whoops.
Totally sucked in
5. Sunset sessions
Whether you’re kicking back listening to the DJ at WooBar or smoking a hookah at the W Lounge, all vistas at the W Retreat are centred around the stunning poolscape and palm-fringed beach. Come sunset, all views point to the golden sun sinking into the ocean. Heavenly!
Sunset sessions – heavenly!
Who could resist?
6. The seafood brunch
Guest residents get first dibs on a sea-view table at the hotel’s Starfish Bloo restaurant. Bring your stretchy pants to enjoy the seafood brunch (running 12-3.30pm every Sunday). It’s one of Seminyak’s iconic dining experiences and well worth it. Upgrade to the full champagne package for free-flowing bubbles.

Daiquiri time!
7. Whatever / Whenever Service
During our stay, the 24/7 concierge team organised day trips, spa visits, lunches, dinners, anniversary welcomes, and more.
Some of their funkier service touches include expandable welcome towels with your choice of scent, elevator welcome messages that change depending on the time of day, and digital tablets that print your departing boarding pass. It’s these little things that surprise, delight, and at times give you a cheeky giggle.
