A LARGER KIDS CLUB IN THE HEART OF THE RESORT

The newly designed Westin Family Kids Club offers an expanded environment that connects children with both nature and the wider resort. Located in the heart of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, the Kids Club is surrounded by tropical greenery and positioned alongside the resort's two main swimming pools. Its central location provides convenient access from the Lobby and guestrooms, while the proximity to the pools creates a natural connection between indoor activities and outdoor play. The expanded Outdoor Play Area gives children space to enjoy active games and activities in a tropical setting. The larger indoor Kids Club is designed to maximize natural light, with sunlight entering from multiple sides to create a bright and welcoming environment.

The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces gives children opportunities to move between creative, educational and active experiences throughout their stay.

TWO ZONES FOR LEARNING AND PLAY

The Kids Club is organised into two dedicated zones: a Learning Zone and a Playing Zone, giving children different environments in which to explore their interests. The Learning Zone provides space for creative and educational activities, including arts and crafts and experiences inspired by Balinese culture. Through age-appropriate activities, children can discover elements of Bali's traditions and creative heritage in an engaging and accessible way. The Playing Zone is designed around imaginative and active play, complemented by outdoor games that encourage children to stay active and interact with others. The separation between the two zones also allows the Kids Club team to create a varied program throughout the day, balancing quieter creative activities with opportunities for movement and play.

A DEDICATED SPACE FOR TODDLERS

Recognizing that younger children have different needs, the redesigned Kids Club introduces a dedicated Toddler Area equipped with new toys and age-appropriate equipment. The dedicated space gives toddlers an environment designed specifically for their stage of development, allowing younger guests to explore, play and engage with their surroundings in a more comfortable setting. Together with the larger indoor and outdoor areas, the Toddler Area enables the Kids Club to welcome children across different age groups while providing experiences appropriate to their needs.

BALINESE CULTURE MEETS WESTIN WELLBEING

The Westin Family Kids Club combines entertainment with opportunities for children to discover culture, creativity, movement and healthy habits.

Programming includes Balinese cultural activities, creative arts and crafts, outdoor games, and Westin's signature Eat Well and Move Well kids programs. The approach reflects Westin's broader philosophy that wellbeing can be introduced from an early age through simple, enjoyable experiences: moving outdoors, discovering new activities, enjoying nourishing food, expressing creativity and connecting with others.

Rather than positioning wellness as a structured routine, the Kids Club makes it part of everyday holiday experiences in ways that are accessible and enjoyable for younger guests.

COMPLIMENTARY KIDS PROGRAMMES FOR RESORT GUESTS

Access to the Westin Family Kids Club is complimentary for children staying at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, with programs led by the dedicated Westin Family Kids Club team. The complimentary programming gives children their own space to discover new interests, make friends and experience activities beyond the traditional hotel stay, while giving parents greater flexibility to enjoy the resort's dining, wellness and recreational facilities. With its central location and combination of supervised indoor and outdoor activities, the Kids Club becomes an integral part of the family holiday rather than simply a childcare facility.

EXPANDING THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE AT WESTIN NUSA DUA

The newly designed Kids Club forms part of a wider evolution of the resort's family offering, with additional experiences designed to make travelling with children more comfortable, engaging and memorable.

The enhanced family experience includes:

Kids Welcome Amenities
Thoughtful Kids Welcome Amenities help younger guests feel recognized and at home from the moment they arrive at the resort.
Kids Corner at the Lobby
A dedicated Kids Corner at the Lobby provides children with their own space within the resort's main arrival area, creating an engaging environment while families check in and begin their stay.
Kids Courtyard
The Kids Courtyard adds another outdoor environment where younger guests can enjoy time in the open air and connect with the resort's tropical surroundings.
New Family Suites
The resort's new Family Suites complement the enhanced Kids Club by providing accommodation designed around the needs of families and multigenerational travelers.
Kids Wellness Programs
The introduction of dedicated Kids Wellness Programs extends Westin's wellness philosophy to younger guests through age-appropriate activities focused on movement, healthy habits and wellbeing.

A FAMILY RESORT WHERE WELLBEING STARTS YOUNG

The new Westin Family Kids Club strengthens The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali's approach to family travel by bringing together play, learning, movement, culture and wellbeing within one connected experience.

For children, it offers opportunities to explore, create, move and make new discoveries. For parents, it provides a safe and engaging environment where younger family members can enjoy their own experiences while remaining close to the heart of the resort.

The result is a Kids Club designed not simply to keep children entertained, but to make family travel more enriching, active and meaningful. With its expanded indoor and outdoor spaces, Balinese cultural activities, dedicated toddler facilities, complimentary children's programs and Eat Well and Move Well experiences, the Westin Family Kids Club adds a comprehensive family wellness experience to The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali.

The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali Introduces a New Westin Family Kids Club with Expanded Play, Learning and Wellness Experiences

HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On 27 October 2026, HIKMICRO launches its new STELLAR 4.0 thermal scope and THUNDER 4.0 thermal clip-on, led by the flagship X-1280 models SX75LR 4.0 and TQ70CL 4.0, alongside a broader range of 640-resolution models. Under the theme "When Seeing Becomes Knowing," the new generation combines evolved thermal imaging, purpose-matched optics and refined hunter-centric design to reveal more usable information when challenging conditions make a scene harder to interpret.

For experienced thermal users, detecting that something is there is only the beginning. At longer distances, under higher magnification or against complex backgrounds, important details can become harder to distinguish and the wider scene more difficult to read. In these moments, the challenge is not simply to see more, but to have enough clear, meaningful information to understand what is in front of the hunter with greater confidence.

It is this step from seeing to knowing that lies at the heart of the new STELLAR 4.0 and THUNDER 4.0 families. Rather than pursuing technology for its own sake, HIKMICRO brings imaging, optics, form and operation together to preserve more useful information and reduce uncertainty in real use. As advanced technology works more naturally in the background, hunters can stay focused on what is in front of them, relying on the experience and judgement they have built over time.

Innovation Shaped by What Hunters Need

For experienced hunters, meaningful progress is not defined by a single specification — it is something to be experienced and compared in the field. What matters is what becomes clearer, more natural or easier to control in the field. Guided by HIKMICRO's Refine What Matters approach, STELLAR 4.0 and THUNDER 4.0 focus their advances on these real moments of use—from the information available in the first view to the way each device fits into familiar hunting habits and existing equipment. HIKMICRO invites hunters to experience these differences for themselves.

Know at First Sight

Higher resolution matters most when the additional detail is immediately usable. The latest X-1280 models introduce an all-new optical design, pairing their 1280 sensors and focal lengths of 70 mm and above to bring more of that captured detail into the first view. Instead of having to zoom in or make additional adjustments to find meaningful information, hunters gain a clear, information-rich view from the moment they look through the device.

On the SX75LR 4.0, a purpose-matched 3.0 x base magnification brings meaningful detail on distant subjects closer while preserving the surrounding context needed to read the wider scene. Subject detail and surrounding scene remain visible together, making the first view clearer, more complete and immediately readable.

Feel Right from the First Hold

Advanced capability feels most natural when it works with habits hunters already know. Across HIKMICRO's new X-1280 flagships, the focus is not only on adding capability, but on making that capability fit naturally into familiar hunting setups and handling.

On STELLAR SX75LR 4.0, HIKMICRO's industry-first LRF Inside Lens design integrates laser ranging directly into the optical system, preserving the clean profile and familiar handling of a traditional tube scope. On THUNDER TQ70CL 4.0, HIKMICRO's proprietary architecture delivers 1280 Performance, Compact by Design, bringing flagship X-1280 image quality into a compact clip-on body that integrates naturally with an existing daytime-optic setup.

Different architectures, but the same principle: new capability should feel natural from the outset, rather than asking hunters to change the way they already operate in the field.

Built for the Moments That Demand Certainty

A powerful first view is only the beginning. Real hunting conditions change constantly, and the information a hunter needs must remain clear and responsive as distance, magnification, weather and the scene itself evolve. Across STELLAR 4.0 and THUNDER 4.0, HIKMICRO has refined the wider imaging system to preserve clarity and continuity beyond that first sight.

At the core of the X-1280 models is an evolved 1280x1024 thermal detector with 12 mK NETD, capturing finer thermal differences and richer scene information. But more information only matters when it remains useful. IMAGE PRO 4.0 optimizes image quality and scene readability across both families, while STELLAR 4.0 combines it with Intelligent Zoom to deliver AI-enhanced image clarity with a seamless, intuitive zooming experience as magnification increase.

The viewing experience is further refined by HSIS and SYNC PRO technology. HSIS keeps observation natural and continuous without conventional calibration-related image freezing, while SYNC PRO keeps the image and controls responsive as hunters interact with the device. Together, they create a smoother, more immediate experience as the situation develops.

The result is not simply a collection of advanced imaging technologies, but a system designed to keep useful information flowing when it matters. The clearer the connection between hunter and scene, the greater the confidence in what the image is saying.

STELLAR 4.0 — Master the Moment

Once the scene is clear, precision depends on what happens next. Building on its first-view clarity and industry-first LRF Inside Lens design, STELLAR 4.0 brings optimized ranging and ballistic assistance together to support more precise shooting. Its enhanced laser rangefinder delivers improved accuracy, stability and penetration up to 1,200 meters, while accurate ballistic calculation helps hunters make more informed aiming adjustments when haze or changing weather make ranging more challenging. That precision continues into the adjustment itself. A 1.3 cm click value at 100 meters allows finer corrections to the point of aim, giving hunters greater control over each adjustment.

Control also depends on how naturally the scope responds in use. STELLAR 4.0 places its focus and magnification controls at the rear, keeping key adjustments within easy reach and supporting the way hunters naturally interact with a scope. Real hunting, however, does not always offer the perfect shooting position. An 8 mm exit pupil and 55 mm eye relief provide greater freedom in head and eye position while maintaining a clear, comfortable view. From the first view to the final adjustment, STELLAR 4.0 helps hunters remain informed and in control when precision matters most—helping them Master the Moment.

THUNDER 4.0 — Own the Hunt

Building on its compact X-1280 design, THUNDER 4.0 extends the experience beyond image quality with refined controls designed to fit naturally into the hunter's existing daytime-optic setup.

A hunter-centric lever design makes key adjustments faster and more intuitive while keeping the operating position familiar. This allows hunters to access essential controls naturally in use, without changing the way they are accustomed to operating their setup. THUNDER 4.0 is engineered for precision, with enhanced component and assembly accuracy and 100% precision checks before shipment. This precision-focused design helps achieve a point-of-impact deviation of approximately 3 cm at 100 meters, equivalent to around 1 MOA, supporting consistent shooting accuracy and giving hunters greater confidence when every moment counts. 

From carrying and mounting to observation and action, THUNDER 4.0 is designed to make every part of the experience feel familiar and controlled—giving hunters the confidence to Own the Hunt.

When Seeing Becomes Knowing: Experience Takes the Lead

Seeing more is valuable only when it leads to a better understanding of what is happening in front of the hunter. Across STELLAR 4.0 and THUNDER 4.0, every refinement—from the information preserved in the image to the way the device responds in use—is designed to reduce uncertainty without taking judgement away from the person behind the optic.

Because knowing is not the same as acting. A clearer understanding of the scene may give a hunter the confidence to take the next step, but it may equally mean waiting, repositioning or walking away. The value lies in having enough meaningful information to read the situation and make that decision based on experience built over time. That is where HIKMICRO sees the role of technology. Not to replace the hunter's experience, but to support it. When the right information is available, operation feels natural and performance can be relied on, the technology itself demands less attention. The hunter's own experience and judgement can take the lead.

See more of the detail. Know more about the situation. Xperience technology that works naturally with the way hunters see, judge and act in the field. Because when the right information meets experience built over time, uncertainty gives way to understanding—and seeing becomes knowing.
