Breakfast - Veranda Lounge and Bar, Nampu & Grand Club Lounge
We were given a choice to go to any restaurant we like, within Grand Hyatt Bali, for breakfast, so we took on the chance to have our buffet breakfast at the Veranda Lounge and also the Grand Club Lounge on separate mornings; the culinary offerings were just superb, tasting and so local that it shows the true essence of Balinese cooking; international F&B fare, cereal, milk, cheeses, sampling bites and fruits were also available so it was a fantastic and memorable time for us!
Nampu : Teppanyaki Dinner
Our first stop for F&B dining was Nampu, where we tried the Daikoku set comprising an Appetizer with a selection of daily sashimi, Sarada, Yaki Vasai; we also had a catch of the day seafood (snapper) with teriyaki sauce which was so delicious; we then had the Tajima beef rump steak, followed by the Half shell bamboo lobster with aioli sauce, Garlic Vegetable Fried Rice, Miso Shiro and dessert.
Nampu serves the finest authentic Japanese culinary experience in Bali where one can truly witness the magic of their skilled teppanyaki chefs (our chef is Hayyu) delivers culinary finesse in making our teppanyaki meal such a joy as he plays with antics to tempt us whilst cooking our dinner “live” right in front of us and transformed our evening into a captivating and unforgettable affair.

Elana took very good care of us, ensuring our every whim and fancy and ensuring that we had a wholesome meal of Italian fare with lovely cocktails, beer, bubbly and wine.
As we partake of the la dolce vita lifestyle when we stepped into Salsa Verde, we acclimatised by truly letting our senses be captivated by the sweet life of the Mediterranean. With a labyrinth of inviting pools and views of the ocean just beyond, the lush surroundings beneath a canopy of verdant greens took us to a natural oasis where we just indulge and take pleasure in the good life.

Kriya Spa : Balinese Massage
Kriya (meaning “Rituals”) Spa at Grand Hyatt Bali was inspired by the magnificent architecture of an ancient Balinese water palace and is the luxurious reflection of ancient traditions of wellness, a spectacle that unfolded in front of us one day this lovely month of January 2025. Kriya Spa offerings are based on the rituals of Bliss, Harmony, Purity and Energy and are specially designed for both relaxing and invigorating moments as well as detoxification. As my spa therapist Ita, worked on the finer protocols encapsulated in the Authetic Balinese Massage (I chose this massage); I could feel the rhythmic, vigorous strokes from Ita’s elbows and forearms working together to release tension and enhance flexibility.
This traditional therapy resonates throughout the body and truly helps to jump-start my metabolism. By incorporating the aromatic oils of cinnamon and ylang-ylang I could very well feel and experience a surge in energy and benefit from the elimination of toxins that is a natural by-product of this therapy. Wonderful afternoon!
