In the heart of Seminyak, W Bali – Seminyak is known for its lively atmosphere and contemporary take on luxury. Yet, behind the resort’s vibrant personality lies a quieter side: the Oasis Villas, a collection of 75 private retreats designed for guests who prefer a little more room to unwind.
For this Room Raider, we checked into the Oasis One-Bedroom Villa, a 225sqm hideaway where tropical greenery, contemporary comforts and a private pool offer a welcome contrast to Seminyak’s buzz.
Rest and Recharge
Inspired by Bali’s paddy fields, the interiors of the Oasis One-Bedroom Villa draw on a palette of calming greens and warm golden accents, bringing a subtle nod to the island’s cultural landscape into a modern setting. One of the villa’s main draws is its generous layout and dedicated living area, which make it feel more like a private residence than simply somewhere to sleep. The sofa and lounge seating offer room to settle in between outings, while the terrace extends the living space outdoors, surrounded by tropical greenery.
Outside, the private pool is the centrepiece, framed by an expansive sundeck, loungers and a pool cabana. The setting lends itself to slow afternoons, whether cooling off with a swim, stretching out on a lounger beneath the Bali sun or settling into the cabana with a good book. The outdoor area adds to the sense of seclusion, offering a quieter corner within the larger resort.
Inside, the master bedroom reflects W’s signature style, anchored by the brand’s distinctive W bed. Dressed in 350-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and plush pillows, it makes a comfortable retreat after a day spent exploring the island. A 49-inch TV and BOSE® sound system provide in-room entertainment, whether you fancy a film or a favourite playlist, while the marble bathroom, with its oversized bathtub, separate shower and double vanities, leaves plenty of room for a leisurely start or end to the day.
Dining, the W Way
Dining at the resort takes you from relaxed beachfront settings to more refined culinary experiences. While Starfish Bloo’s Asian and Mediterranean flavours and FIRE’s flame-touched creations remain established dining options, the newly unveiled Alunê brings a fresh dimension to the resort’s dining and social scene. Occupying the iconic beachfront space once home to Woobar, the venue takes its cues from the movement of the waves and the changing colours of the Seminyak sunset, reflected in amber-tinted glass, carved timber and natural stone.
Alunê’s menu pairs familiar beach-club fare with more refined touches, including lobster roll with spring onion and ikura, alongside locally sourced sashimi served with ponzu, chilli oil and lime. The daily Sunset Ritual brings together cocktails, live music and dance performances as the day gives way to evening. For those seeking a little privacy, three cabanas with Jacuzzis offer a quieter vantage to watch the sun go down.
Staying Active in Style
The resort’s lifestyle offering extends beyond dining and relaxation with Club Lacoste, a collaboration with the French fashion house. Two dedicated padel courts introduce a more active side to the resort, welcoming beginners and experienced players alike for a casual rally or a competitive match.
Alongside the courts, an official Lacoste boutique showcases the brand’s latest padel collection, apparel, accessories and lifestyle pieces. Next to the retail space, Set Café provides a convenient spot for a post-match pause, serving coffee, refreshments, pastries and light bites. Open from 8am to 8pm, the courts welcome both resort guests and the wider community.
From sunset drinks at Alunê to a game of padel at Club Lacoste or some downtime at AWAY Spa, a stay at W Bali – Seminyak can be as active or relaxed as you like. But the appeal of the Oasis One-Bedroom Villa is having a place to retreat from the resort’s lively atmosphere. With its spacious interiors and private pool, the villa offers a more secluded setting from which to enjoy Seminyak at your own pace
