The Balinese white stone carving above the check-in desk will be elegantly lit to form the centerpiece of The Laguna lobby experience.

The new design of the rooms is inspired by the collective stories and traditions ofBali,as well as nautical elements influenced by the resort's seven lagoons and thetravel-based DNA of the Luxury Collection brand.

Cascade Bar

A theatrical and mystical cocktail bar inspired by centuries of oceanic spice trade. At the bar,surrounded by a lively green atmosphere,it serves fresh spice-infused spirits and cocktails crafted with a large diversity of spices and herbs. During the day,Cascade Bar is the destination for fragrant spice infusions and light cocktails. At night,expert bartenders skillfully mix inventive and inspired cocktails,paired with Balinese snacks. Located at the heart of the resort,next to the lobby,this is an iconic part of the arrival experience,as well as a great place to relax for sundowners while watching a Balinese performance.

Banyubiru Restaurant

Inspired by Bali's fishing villages,the design of Banyubiru showcases elements surrounding the villages themselves,with the blue and white theme representing the sea. The harmony of Balinese batik patterns,such as 'kawung' and 'ceplok',are an integrated feature of the buffet and communal area floor tiles,while bamboo and rattan are used as detailing for the furniture,lighting and decorative items. These materials are used widely in the villages for traditional fishing equipment and crafts. The design of the show kitchen,as well as the buffet counter,is inspired by the unique traditional 'warung' stalls in the villages,giving character to a unique and authentic Balinese food culinary experience.
