Westin Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce the opening of The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali. Located amidst rice paddies, ancient temples and lush greenery, the new hotel is set to embrace the brand's ethos of Eat Well, Move Well and Sleep Well, and is inviting guests to explore a restorative destination that is devoted to personal wellness and recovery.

“We are thrilled to open the second Westin resort in Bali, which invites our guests to rejuvenate in Ubud, the spiritual heart of the island,” said Mike Fulkerson, Vice President, Brand & Marketing, Asia-Pacific, Marriott International. “Nestled in the stunning tropical terraces of Ubud, this property will enhance our proposition as a hospitality leader in wellness by offering signature programs under the key pillars: Move Well, Sleep Well, Eat Well, Play Well, Feel Well and Work Well.”
 
The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali features 120 contemporary guestrooms, suites and villas, each equipped with the brand's signature Heavenly® Bed and Heavenly® Bath to deliver total relaxation. Additionally, there are two private Pool Villas that offer an intimate experience for couples and families alike, with a prime vantage point overlooking the entire resort.

“As both a marathon runner and wellness enthusiast, I'm very excited to welcome guests of all ages to The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali. Ubud is a leading cultural and wellness destination, and the arrival of this resort, with its wealth of wellness programs and Eat Well dining options, will only enhance its appeal as a destination,” said Titus Rosier, General Manager of The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali.
 
The resort has numerous dining options. Tabia, the resort's all-day dining venue, features hand-painted murals by local artists and offers international cuisine, local specialties and healthy dishes from The Westin's Eat Well menu. Tall Trees offers a splendid experience that is complemented by an unrivalled view of the river and tropical forest. Dishes are inspired by ancient recipes and feature fresh ingredients that are cooked in a wood-burning oven to seal in the natural flavours. While tasty light bites, refreshing cocktails and drinks are available at The Lobby Bar, which is set in a full bar concept with a smart design.
 
Guests can relax and recharge at the resort's Heavenly Spa by WestinTM, which offers signature treatments to recover from jet lag, as well as massages that are inspired by local mythology. The Heavenly Ritual, for example, is a couple's spa experience that draws inspiration from the mythical Balinese dance “Oleg Tamulilingan”. The relaxing spa facilities feature five treatment rooms as well as four outdoor spa pavilions overlooking the natural scenery, plus a jacuzzi and steam room. An open-air pavilion with stunning views of the surrounding landscape is also available for early risers to partake in morning yoga and meditation classes.

Guests looking to stay fit while travelling can make use of the 24/7 Westin WORKOUT® fitness centre that is complete with TRX's training and fitness system and state-of-the-art fitness equipment. The hotel offers its signature Gear Lending program, providing New Balance® shoes and athletic wear for guests who like to pack light. The local Run Concierge is also available to provide guided group runs along a natural five-kilometre trail through the lush green hillside and picturesque rice paddies. In addition, the resort also features an expansive infinity pool overlooking jungle foliage that is suspended above the winding Wos River. Kids can splash around the nearby children's pool, which features a miniature waterfall that blends in with the natural surroundings and is situated next to the Westin Family Kids Club.
 
The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali also features 160-square-metres of flexible meeting spaces and the Westin Meetings program for productive gatherings. Other facilities include an onsite concierge, business centre, gift shop, valet and self-parking.
 
In addition to relaxing at the resort, guests can visit the centre of Ubud, which is a short drive from the resort. The Ubud Palace showcases classic Balinese architecture and hosts regular traditional dance and music performances, while souvenirs and local handicrafts can be purchased from the Ubud Market and boutique shops nearby. Other attractions include the Ubud Monkey Forest, Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tegenungan Waterfall.
