InterContinental Bali Resort gets lots of kudos for its exclusive club rooms. Needless to say, the resort treats its club-level guests like royalties.

The lounge overlooks the stunning lagoon and operates from 6.30pm to 11pm. It is a hive of activity for club-level guests because of its daily offerings – from the exclusive cocktail bar and kitchens, club guests get to choose from a wide range of complimentary food and beverage options.

You could opt to enjoy your delectable breakfast right at the lounge or at any of the four additional breakfast venues around the resort. But why take your first meal of the day with everyone else when you can indulge far away from the pesky public, right?! 😉
