Marking the re-launch and re-branding of The Laguna Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua, Bali, two separate gala launch parties were recently held in Jakarta and Bali.
Guests were treated to a gala dinner prepared by award-winning Executive Chef Made Putra and were entertained by a musical performance by Australian singing star Gregg Arthur and pianist Jem Harding, both specially flown in by Garuda Indonesia to perform at the parties. Also on hand to charm the guests was Miss Bali 2006, Astri Prima Devi.
The Jakarta event was held August 31, 2006 at Le Meridien Jakarta and the Bali celebration on September 5, 2006 at the Balai Raya Grand Ballroom, The Laguna Resort & Spa.
At both events, a fashion show was held to showcase the new uniforms created for the Bali 5 star resort by noted Indonesian fashion designer, Itang Yunasz. A slide show during the dinners allowed invitees to view the many changes at the Resort following the US$7.5m renovation program.
The upgrading program, completed in June 2006, involved the renovation of all 270 guest rooms and suites and the extensive upgrading of the resort's main ballroom and meeting areas. Following the renovations the Resort's main ballroom was doubled in size and the resort's health and fitness facility was also extensively upgraded.
