Our Inspector's Highlights
• Here you can experience water sports galore, including action-packed jet-ski rides and graceful paragliding.
• For a little serenity, head to the resort’s luxe indoor/outdoor spa for Balinese-inspired treatments.
• The luxury hotel’s southern area also has an impressive family zone with a hopping kid’s club. Bonus for those traveling with little ones: all kids under 12 eat for free at Conrad Bali, a policy that has been in place since the resort opened.
• High tea is served daily at the elegant, exclusive lounge and bar area and the tranquil pool is adults only.
• Conrad Suites have their own separate check-in area within Conrad Bali. Designed for couples and solo travelers seeking a childfree, adults-only haven, the suites are huge — in fact, you could host a small party in the spacious walk-in wardrobe.
Things to Know
• Keep in mind the most special experiences can also be the simplest — make some time for beach combing or making sandcastles on the 1,000-foot pristine beach.
• While there are four suite categories from which to choose, we recommend the Conrad Ocean Suites that feature a private bar and a generously sized balcony, fanning out to an endless sea view.
• If you’ve had enough beach time for one day, in-house resort options include two tennis courts, yoga classes daily and a well-equipped gym.
The Rooms
• Rooms come with views of the large lagoon-like swimming pool, vibrant gardens or facing the tranquil Indian Ocean.
• Some accommodations have direct access to the resort’s lagoon pool from a private walkout patio. Family suites are available as is a Grand Presidential Suite, which opens out onto a prime ocean view.
• The décor is plush and contemporary with a neutral color palette and authentic Indonesian accents. Standard amenities include a pillow menu, local newspapers, LCD flat-screen TVs and luxury linens.
• Marble bathrooms are luxurious with separate soaking tubs and night lights.
The Restaurants
• There are five restaurants to choose from at Conrad Bali, but the closest one to the beach is the steak-and-seafood-focused Eight Degrees South, which features ocean breezes flowing through the open doors and windows.
• Starters at the resort’s signature restaurant include dishes like the seared sea scallops served on an eggplant base with cucumber, avocado and a dash of flying fish red caviar.
• For the main course, expect options like grilled lobster from the North Bali seaside town of Lovina and Wagyu beef brisket served with truffle-scented spinach purée.
• Desserts are special, too, particularly the eight-hour slow-cooked apple pie with almond crumble that’s served with house-made Balinese vanilla ice cream.
• Other culinary options include a lovely Japanese restaurant Rin, an Asian buffet eatery, a poolside place for eats and drinks and a stylish lobby bar that looks out over the ocean.
