The St. Regis Bali Resort

What the classifiers highlight

Open since 2009 without a major renovation, the resort works Javanese shadow-puppet motifs and canang offering patterns into the design throughout. Forbes measures the salt lagoon pool at 40,000 square feet, reachable straight from the terrace of a Lagoon Villa, and describes a night arrival lit blue through the rainforest approach. Iridium Spa surrounds eight treatment rooms with koi ponds.
