Brisbane, Australia – 4 November, 2020 -  Forget the hassle of airport security, economy food and a six-hour flight – now you can enjoy a Bali vacay in your own backyard – complete with swaying palm trees!

From 12 November to 20 December, W Brisbane will serve up a slice of our fave island neighbour, W Bali-Seminyak, inviting locals and interstate guests to sip a pink W coconut from a hammock riverside.

“We have all experienced the challenges and disappointment brought on by the limitations on overseas travel because of the COVID-19 pandemic so Marriott International is bringing together the world's most exciting destinations,” says Haldon Philp, General Manager of W Brisbane.

“Millions of Australians flock to Bali each year for the sun, surf and relaxation and W Bali-Seminyak is the number one luxury lifestyle hotel in Bali. It's the ultimate pairing to bring the best of W Bali-Seminyak to W Brisbane as Queenslanders love Bali and are craving the feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation the island is known for. Brisbane locals can hit up WET Deck for cocktails and tunes, whilst interstate guests can visit for a full weekend of Bali vibes.”

Our wings may be clipped right now but from Thursday to Sunday for six weeks W Brisbane will deliver summer holiday vibes in spades as WET® Deck is transformed into a Balinese playground.

Guests will step onto Level Four and be instantly transported to a riverside paradise as they sip cocktails from bean bags or swinging hammocks overlooking the Brisbane River. Vibrant palm trees, tropical greenery, lantern lighting and bright Balinese umbrellas that recreate iconic scenes from Seminyak Beach.

Known for killer Insta-worthy cocktails and mouth-watering Indonesian food, WET Deck will serve up W Bali-Seminyak's best-selling dishes such as Sumatran Beef Rendang and Kung Pao Chicken Noodle. The cocktail menu will also be transported direct from WOOBAR with the signature Flower Mojito, Pink Slushy and the famous coconut cart.

It wouldn't be a Bali vacay without Bintang beer and floating trays for guests to live it up in the pool while sipping cocktails and enjoying delicious bites.

WET Deck will also come alive each weekend with a series of amplified events. From morning yoga on the WET Deck Terrace, a Balinese AWAY® Spa treatment, pop-up sarong stall from Robe and a streamed DJ set by W Bali's Music Curator, Damien Saint and W Brisbane's Music Curator Kane Dignum taking the tunes well into the night.

For the ultimate weekend Staycation, 'It's A Bali Vibe' will be a luxe accommodation package with parking, bespoke welcome Balinese 'offering', credit to enjoy at WET Deck's Bali playground and 2PM late check-out, ideal to soak up the Bali vibes that little bit longer and travel-lust no more. 

Guests who stay and play at W Brisbane Thursday to Sunday from 12 November to 20 December 2020 will be automatically entered into the draw to win return flights for two to Bali with a five night stay at W Bali-Seminyak in an ocean facing Escape Room, including breakfast for two, for when those international borders reopen.
