Anantara is proud to bring our unique brand of indigenous luxury to this charming island paradise, starting this February. Set on Bali's most sought-after stretch of shore, the all-suite Anantara Seminyak, Bali captures the serene natural beauty of Bali. Long-time Bali aficionado Antony Liu directed the interior design of the 59 suites, 2 restaurants, rooftop bar and spa treatment suites, sculpting each space according to his master vision: to create luxurious spaces that would melt into the panorama of the Indian Ocean. True to this vision, the free-flowing suites bring the vast waterscape into the interiors of natural earth tones, colourful batiks and bright silk cushions. A nurturing soak in a terrazzo tub on a secluded deck is just one Anantara exclusive, as is the expansive treatment rooms in the decadent Anantara Spa. Complementing Liu's design are the culinary visions of General Manager Mark Hehir, who seeks to elevate the Seminyak dining scene to a new level through Anantara's unique dining experiences. The Wild Orchid serves authentic Thai flavours between the beach and the infinity-edge swimming pool. By sundown, Sunset on Six (S.O.S), the rooftop lounge, becomes a haven of the uber-chic, indulging in inventive cocktails, world-renowned vintages and delectable Balinese snacks while listening to evocative tunes from international DJs. Discover why Bali leaves an indelible impression on all who visit. Explore secluded rocky islets, sea temples, gilded shrines and centuries of civilization. Celebrate the truly extraordinary in the luxury of Anantara. | Discover Anantara Bali |  | A Place Where Passion – and Perspiration – Nurtures the Soil Anyone who has visited Anantara Resort Hua Hin will recall the inspiring, exotic gardens nestled in this luxury hideaway on the palm-fringed coastline of the Gulf of Thailand. Many have also encountered a man with a broad smile, blissfully happy at work, transforming the soil into a canvas of vibrant colours. Meet Khun Desnarong Puengtang, whose passion and perspiration nurtures his artistry – in a far greater way than a tropical climate can do. | | “The only thing that gives me more pleasure in life than tending to the 14 acres of lush greenery here at Anantara, is to see the enjoyment it brings to guests. The garden is a place for them to explore, to relax and to find peace. Whether they are wandering through it, looking onto it from their balconies, or relaxing next to the pools, the garden is a work of art that pays tribute to Mother Earth. “When an opportunity came for me to join Anantara's gardening division in 2005, I jumped at the chance. For a long time I have known that the resort has one of the most beautiful gardens in Hua Hin, and to be part of the team that maintains it was so exciting. Often, guests and visitors would ask me for some inside gardening tips and, because I don't speak much English, I have to improvise by communicating with them through hand and body gestures. I love sharing my ideas with them � I just hope they understand what I mean!” “I think I am lucky to have a passion for what I do. Gardening makes me happy, and I've known from a young age that this is what I would like to do until I retire one day. Here in Anantara's gardens I have found my own heaven. It's my Anantara...” | Discover Anantara Hua Hin | Featured Blog |  |  | | | Anantara Challenge |  |  | | Our elephant guru spends every day with a troupe of elephants, collecting adventures and insights that could fill volumes.
