The St. Regis Bali Resort and the Laguna Resort & Spa are to host an extraordinary moonlight dinner at the Cloud Nine Terrace in Support of Unicef
Since the partnership between Starwood Hotels & Resorts and United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) started back in 1995, $35 million has been raised and donated to help UNICEF improve the lives of more than 4.5 million children across the globe. This year, unlike previous years, Starwood Bali Complex: The St. Regis Bali Resort and The Laguna, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua, Bali, are joining together to create a single event in support of UNICEF: An Extraordinary Moonlight Dinner.
The charity dinner will commence on Saturday, 15 October 2016 at The St. Regis Bali Resort’s beachfront Cloud Nine Terrace. The romantic oceanfront outdoor venue will provide guests with a glamorous, yet natural setting, enhanced with shimmering torches and illuminated by the bright moonlight and stars to create a memorable evening. Start the evening with complimentary aperitifs and canapés during twilight at the grass lawn by the beach from 6 PM before dinner starts at 7 PM. Featuring a six-course dinner (including amuse-bouche) complete with wine pairing, the menu will be crafted by five internationally renowned chefs: celebrity chefs Farah Quinn, Chef Mandif M. Warokka from Teatro Gastroteque, Chef Kevin Cherkas from Cuca Bali, Chef Agung Ardiawan from The St. Regis Bali Resort and Chef Made Putra from The Laguna.
A live auction with various prizes from resort stays to exclusive goods, from both local and international venues and providers will be performed by an auctioneer in between main course and dessert. The resort’s resident pianist and vocalist, Grace Nathalie, will complement the dinner with their soulful jazzy tunes.
