Bali, Indonesia

The venerable Oberoi on Seminyak Beack was one of the first five-star resorts to be built in Bali, and its grand style, standards of service and impressive attention to detail still set the benchmark in this buzzing resort on the island’s southwest coast. Making extensive use of natural wood, stone and textiles, its rooms have a pleasantly earthy feel, while retaining the glamorous sheen you’d expect from one of the world’s premier luxury chains. With everything you require for a relaxing holiday on the premises, there’s little need to venture beyond the adjacent beach, though the bright lights of Seminyak’s centre are only a stroll away.
