The Laguna Resort and Spa

A network of lagoon-style pools and fine facilities are set within beautifully manicured gardens. The highlight of this elegant resort is the seven lagoon pools that meander their way through the exotic gardens. Features of these swimmable waterways include ‘sandy pools’ with sand underfoot to recreate the feel of the beach, and a main pool by the beach. Two restaurants – each with an air-conditioned dining room and al fresco area – serve a selection of Asian and international dishes. Arwana specialises in fresh seafood by the beach, with a creative menu and an oyster and sushi bar. Banyubiru is the signature buffet restaurant, with a show kitchen serving up Pan-Asian and international classics. There’s also a deli with take-away salad and sushi options, as well as a pastry corner, home-made ice cream station and wine cellar. It’s difficult to pick a favourite from the bars, but come the evening the atmospheric Kulkul Bar, with its hanging bamboo lanterns, is a great place to enjoy signature Luxury Collection cocktails by the beach – particularly during the two happy hours. Guests can also dine in the restaurants at The St Regis Bali Resort next door. The light and airy rooms and suites all have 24-hour butler service. Deluxe Rooms overlook the gardens or lagoon-style pool. For something a little special, Deluxe Lagoon Access Rooms and Suites offer guests direct access to the lagoon straight from the balcony. Deluxe Studio Rooms are more spacious with a living area.
