One&Only Za'abeel's Garden Pool is a true tropical oasis tucked into a corner of the frenetic city. Although only accessible for hotel guests, lounging at the pool feels like an escape to the jungles of Bali. The lagoon pool has a swim-up Garden Pool Bar, a kids' pool, and a family-friendly pool. The tiki-style pavilion offers shade at the bar, while the palm trees and chic umbrellas offer a reprieve from the sun while on the loungers. One of the hotel's most delectable restaurants, Andaliman, is located at the Garden Pool and serves Indonesian cuisine, paying homage to the Balinese theme. On select dates in June, One&Only Za'abeel has partnered with Beyond Wellness to offer floating sound healing sessions at the Garden Pool. To make a reservation, click here.
