Retreat F+B

W Retreat & Spa Bali | Great Room

This grand ballroom has an unusual aspect, as it is sited with a view of the sea along a 25 meter glass facade.

The side walls and columns are clad with the traditional Balinese stone used in temple construction : Batu Kerobokan. Millions of axe strokes give the surface a rich texture which captures the sun as it streaks across the surfaces. 

Parada cloth in gold leaf on a white linen background hems the 7m tall draperies. while the ceiling is clad with hundreds of thousands of 'keong' a stylized version of the snail resting on Buddah's head.

In 2008, Poole Associates was commissioned to design seven experiences at W Retreat & Spa, Bali.
