Luna2 Private Hotel

Bali, Indonesia

Swish beyond belief, decadently designed Luna 2 Private Hotel on Seminyak Beach would be more at home in Miami than Bali, but we're not complaining. Owner Melanie Hall collaborated with US architect David Wahl to create the 'funked up modernist' interiors, inspired by icon Richard Neutra's sharp-suited buildings. Custom-made furniture sits cheek-by-jowl with iconic chairs by Harry Bertoia and Philippe Starck in this five-room, retro-radical party pad with Pop Art touches. Stir in a cool pool and as many as 24 pampering staff, and you'll be a confirmed Lunatic.

Food and drink at Luna2 Private Hotel

• Hotel restaurant

  Food and drink is charged as an extra, but Australian executive chef Brenden Peace's delicious cooking is off the charts, so be sure to indulge. Start the day with house-baked pastries or a feta and potato rosti with house-smoked salmon and soft-poached eggs. The team can whip up lunch or light refreshments during the day, including cookies, scones with cream and organic jam, and chilled granitas. Later on, settle into the 12-seater dining area and choose between six-course degustation menus or relaxed TV dinners, customised to order. Take advantage of the in-house event planning service if you fancy a bespoke dinner at the chef's table or memorable poolside party.

• Dress code Dress up to get down. Ladies, go for Roberto Cavalli kaftans and Liza Bruce bathers with Christian Louboutin wedges. Lads, loose linens will do the trick.
• Top table Dine in an outdoor balé for Indian Ocean views.
• Last orders All-day dining means you can request breakfast, lunch and dinner times to suit your mood. The bar keeps pouring until the last guest drops.
• Room service Your wish really is the 24-strong staff's command. If you're peckish after dinner, nocturnal snacks include cheese plates, fruit, chocolates and other goodies.
• Hotel bar

  Luna2's bartenders, all trained mixologists, are on hand to whip up your favourite tipples. Complimentary canapés are served daily at sunset at the sleek white bar or by the pool – the perfect time to sample the lip-smacking signature Lunatini cocktail. There's a savvy selection of wine too, from a quaffable New Zealand sauvignon blanc to a Chateau Petrus to accompany that Cohiba Siglo IV cigar from the humidor.
