The latest exotic Anantara resort has opened. The Anantara Resort Seminyak is located on the beautiful island of Bali in the Indian Ocean. The resort has 59 large suites with Balinese-inspired decor, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows. Enjoy the ocean views from terrazzo hydro tubs from your own private balcony. Other features include dark Indonesian wooden floors, oversized built-in beds covered with 300 thread-count linen, a double-sized Hansgrohe 'rainmaker' shower, BOSE DVD player, a surround-sound system, 42 inch LCD TV, 80GB iPod with docking station, Wi-Fi internet and espresso machine.

The Anantara Penthouse suite has two bedrooms, a lounge, library, kitchen, bar and dining area in an open-plan style. Outdoors, it features a concept pool with glass roof, spacious sundeck with Weber BBQ area, loungers, daybeds and a Jacuzzi. This lavish suite comes with the service of a butler who can arrange spa treatments, private yoga and meditation sessions and prepare sunset cocktails prior to a
lobster BBQ on the private deck.

The resort includes several entertainment and dining destinations: Sunset On Six (SOS) is the rooftop bar and the resort's bistro-style café next to the infinity-edge pool, PAON, is where to head for afternoon tea or a light lunch. The signature Thai restaurant, Wild Orchid, also showcases a line of customized tableware that was specially created, inspired by materials like local Balinese stoneware and Japanese bone china. In the rooftop Wine Room, wine tastings are hosted by a resident Wine Guru. There are three pools overlooking the Indian ocean and the resort has its own Surf school and a spa.

The resort just opened last month and is offering an open special through June 30 of this year with rates starting at $270.
