How About Dinner in Bed on the Beach in Bali Print E-mail

Guests who reserve a beach bed will enjoy a five-course dinner that includes foie gras and dishes like green tea soba sushi rolls, spiny lobster with couscous salad and a chocolate “extravaganza – all with a Four Seasons-style “bedside manner.”  

According to Putu Indrawati, a resort spokeswoman, the beds can accommodate up to 50 people (25 couples). If there is overflow, the restaurant also sits right on the beach.

Indrawati said there has been growing interest from guests, as well as non-guests  as well as “incremental revenue. “Publicity has been local, national and international.

Most of the guests taking advantage of the beach beds, according to Indrawati, are couples “and many of them are honeymooners.”

The program has already been expanded. It started with once a week, and is now twice – every Thursday and Saturday.

Says Indrawati, “They love the experience.”

And sayeth ye editor: “ What ever will they think of next?”

Ipsos Mendelsohn and American Express Publishing-Harrison Group
Offer Fresh Insight on Consumer Behavior in 2010


According to new studies from two blue-chip research sources, Ipsos Mendelsohn and American Express Publishing - the affluent are not only ready to travel -- they are frequently going to spend more on it. While the Ipsos study focused on intent and American Express Publishing on mindset, they both point to a surge in affluents taking to the road (Amex sees an increase of 6 to 8% in spending on all luxury categories). Interestingly, both studies agree on a positive attitude despite lingering concerns about the economy. Here's a look at the highlights of both 2010 studies.

LuxuryTravel 360 has long looked to the affluent as a burgeoning market in business and leisure travel, fueling growth in more affordable, common sense luxury - less glitz and glamour, but ready to pay extra for memorable family experiences and genuine local culture.
