Our Experience with the Accor MyResorts Program at Fairmont Bali

Our experience of the Accor MyResorts program and stay at the Fairmont Bali was pure bliss and exceeded all of our expectations. Located right on prime beachfront property in Sanur, the Fairmont Bali is one of the most luxurious resorts on the island. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the staff in a traditional Balinese ceremonial welcome. To top off this #MyHost check-in experience, we got to enjoy the coconut infused mint welcome drink in the modern, open-concept front lobby.

During our time at the Fairmont Bali, we enjoyed staying in the Presidential suite with #MyUpgrade. This impressive 2-bedroom pool was the pinnacle of luxury, with a massive master bathroom, massage room, and separate living and dining areas. In addition to, a 15 metre pool in the villa was all for us! We also had access to the lovely beachfront from here.

There are 3 restaurants, all offering different cuisines. Lunch is best enjoyed poolside at the Nyala Grill, which offers a range of comfort food, fresh seafood, sandwiches, and pastas. Their raspberry whole coconuts are incredibly delicious! The Layang Layang restaurant serves an impressive buffet breakfast, while its dinner menu is filled with various South East Asian cuisines- the beef rendang is incredible! Pier 8, the hotel’s newest restaurant, has an incredible seafood menu, with the lobster roll being our favourite dish.

The insane heat in Sanur will leave you wanting to cool off in the Fairmont Bali’s massive infinity pool, which overlooks the ocean. There are also 4 plunge pools, and ample room for sunbathing.  The beachfront is impeccably maintained, and they recently installed 2 swings in the water. The hotel offers water sport activities, such as paddle boarding, surfing, and snorkelling trips. We went on their glass bottom boat and saw many colourful fishes, in addition to visiting a turtle sanctuary and learning about the turtle conservation efforts in Bali.

Another beautiful experience was the cooking class, part of the #MyDiscovery benefit, where we learned to make traditional Balinese dishes. Our cooking class included a trip to the local market to learn more about the spices we would be using and as well as the traditions in the beautiful Balinese culture.

We woke up early both mornings to watch the sunrise, do yoga, and enjoyed our breakfast on the beach. Our days ended with the #MyWellness full-body scrubs and in-room massages, which were some of the best we have ever received.

Our stay at the Fairmont Bali was definitely too short- we had such a wonderful staycation that we are already looking forward to our return to experience more #MyResorts benefits!
