Our opinion
The open-air pavilions of The Oberoi face a pond rich with golden carp and water lilies.
Hotel description
Amongst beautiful tropical gardens, The Oberoi is arranged into a private village of low, traditional thatched buildings that create the charm that Bali is so famous for. The resort’s flower laden gardens open onto a golden 500-metre stretch of beach over which the sun sets majestically. Only thirty-five minutes away from Bali’s main shopping areas, the resort is secluded and tranquil, designed to complement the natural beauty that abounds in the area and to capture the spirit of the island and its people. Winding pathways travel between the buildings and amongst fragrant frangipani, passing traditional artefacts on the way. The swimming pool overlooks the sea, framed splendidly by flowering trees and lit up dramatically at night. The soft golden sands of Seminyak Beach provide plentiful space for relaxation and for long walks in the warm evenings. The spa is contained within peaceful open-air massage pavilions that face a pond rich with golden carp and water lilies. In this tranquil environment you can achieve blissful relaxation with a wide variety of treatments, including traditional Indonesian and Thai rituals. A feeling of exotic serenity prevails throughout the resort, but if you wish to make the most of the crystal clear waters that surround the island, the concierge will be happy to arrange a number of water activities including boat trips, fishing, diving, snorkelling and river rafting. The resort’s three restaurants offer International and local cuisine in a range of sophisticated environments. Enjoy breakfast under the palm trees by the beach at the Frangipani Café, or a candlelight dinner at The Amphitheatre, which is only open two to three times a week and where buffet meals are accompanied by traditional Balinese dance. Accommodation at The Oberoi is in villas and Lanais, which have been designed to reflect the traditional Balinese style through the use of natural furnishings and colours. Despite this, they do not lack in modern comforts and include luxurious bathrooms that overlook private gardens. The Luxury Villas are highly recommended as each has their own private terrace and a garden courtyard with a raised pavilion, which is ideal for a private breakfast or a romantic dinner by candlelight. The Oberoi is a most enchanting hotel that offers true seclusion in a setting that reflects the traditions and mystery of the Indonesian archipelago.
