If you\u2019re looking for an authentic Asian experience<\/a> on your next jaunt to at Bali<\/a>, stop reading.<\/p>\n

However, if you want some rockstar chic, a dash of Californian glamour, and a hint of mischief, well, you\u2019ve come to the right place.W Hotel<\/a>, you got this. And here\u2019s why:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1. Poolside high jinks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the dubious name, the Wet Deck area is an impossibly cool poolside featuring, in no particular order:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cabana-style day beds
\n\u2022 Floating frozen cocktails
\n\u2022 Water toys and chunky bean bags
\n\u2022 Free Wi-Fi to capture bragworthy sunset snaps
\n\u2022 Pool boys offering complimentary massages and refreshing towels<\/p>\n

\"Who<\/a>

Who wouldn’t want to brag?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Decorative<\/a>

Decorative touches you’ll just want to kiss!<\/p><\/div>\n

2. Party-worthy bedrooms<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know you\u2019re in for a Vegas-style fun holiday when you\u2019re greeted by a pumping soundtrack the first time you enter your private abode. The W tunes are that good (and available to purchase) it\u2019s enough to make you want to throw a party. The rooms are big too \u2013 enough for a gathering of 12, I\u2019d say \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

3. The buffet breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anywhere you can get this before midday is a sure-fire winner in my eyes:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The breakfast of champions!<\/p><\/div>\n

If you get past the chocolate fountain, you\u2019ll also find a smorgasbord of incredible breakfast goodies ranging from fresh sushi, full western buffet, a la carte specialties, and Balinese curries. A-mazing.<\/p>\n

4. W-branded stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2026 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.<\/p>\n

5. Sunset sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re 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!<\/p>\n

Sunset sessions \u2013 heavenly!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Who<\/a>

Who could resist?<\/p><\/div>\n

6. The seafood brunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guest residents get first dibs on a sea-view table at the hotel\u2019s Starfish Bloo restaurant. Bring your stretchy pants to enjoy the seafood brunch (running 12-3.30pm every Sunday). It\u2019s one of Seminyak<\/a>\u2019s iconic dining experiences and well worth it. Upgrade to the full champagne package for free-flowing bubbles.<\/p>\n

7. Whatever \/ Whenever Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

During our stay, the 24\/7 concierge team organised day trips, spa visits, lunches, dinners, anniversary welcomes, and more.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s these little things that surprise, delight, and at times give you a cheeky giggle.<\/p>\n
