The Apurva Kempinski Bali
With busy schedules and daily routines, it can be challenging to pause and be attuned to one’s inner self. For those seeking to immerse themselves in transformative, holistic wellness programmes, Apurva Spa at The Apurva Kempinski unveils Mauna – The Art of Silence, a profound journey of mindfulness and spiritual reconnection.
Drawing inspiration from Nyepi, Bali’s sacred Day of Silence, Mauna (Sanskrit for silence) presents a contemporary interpretation of a deeply respected tradition. As the entire island falls silent during Nyepi, it offers an opportunity for self-reflection and spiritual renewal. Mauna mirrors this concept by weaving in gentle breathing, guided meditation, and mindful movement to help participants attain clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper connection to their true selves.
Fundamental to this wellness journey are Four Core Pillars – Mindfulness, Exercise, Nourishment, and Sleep – each guiding participants towards balance and wholeness.
Mindfulness improves presence and inner listening through meditation, conscious breathing, and reflection. The programme encourages participants to turn their senses inward for a deeper self-reflection, become more fully present, and attune to their inner voice. The programmes include The Art of Silence Meditation, Self-Love & Inner Sanctuary Mindfulness Meditation, Present Movement Awareness, Moving Meditation, and Mala-Making Workshop.
Exercise highlights movement with presence, reconnecting the body and mind through yoga, Pilates, and grounding practices. Through this pillar, participants learn to move for more than just physical well-being, but as a ritual of awareness, nurturing a deeper connection between body and mind. Carefully curated to restore balance, improve circulation, and foster a holistic sense of well-being that extends far beyond the studio, the programmes include Somatic Movement & Walking Meditation, Yoga Journeys, Pilates Practices, and Balinese Sacred Movement.
Dietary journeys celebrate nourishment as a mindful ritual, embracing the healing power of cuisine through conscious eating, herbal tonics, and plant-based traditions. The dietary programmes are carefully designed to support the body’s natural processes, nurturing long-term wellness and hormonal balance. This pillar’s programmes include Imperial Jamu & Tonics Workshop, Plant-Forward Wellness Brunch, The Psychology of Eating Workshop, and The Balinese Food Journey.
Sleep becomes an art of restoration, inviting deep rest through sound healing and carefully curated evening practices designed to renew balance and energy. This pillar emphasises the often-overlooked importance of quality sleep, introducing guests to programmes that provide a foundation for long-term behavioural change and empower them to achieve consistently restful sleep. The programmes include Sleep Optimisation Seminar, Sleep Meditation & Sound Healing Ritual, Restorative Spa Treatment, and Wellness Bed Rituals.
These new wellness programmes further emphasise The Apurva Kempinski Bali’s commitment to showcasing Indonesia’s rich heritage, seamlessly combining authentic cultural practices with luxury hospitality. This experience personifies the resort’s vision of honouring Bali’s sacred traditions with deep respect while aligning with Apurva Spa’s campaign to share this heritage on a global scale.

The Meru Sanur
Immerse yourself in a sacred journey of healing deeply rooted in Balinese wisdom at Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness, The Meru Sanur’s oasis of holistic healing grounded in Bali’s rich ancestral heritage. Inspired by the sacred legend of Mpu Kuturan and the ancient Lontar Usada manuscripts, Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness reignites the island’s timeless wisdom, transporting guests on a profound spiritual journey to reconnect, restore, and thrive.
Comfortably nestled amidst The Meru Sanur’s lush, serene grounds within The Sanur Special Economic Zone for health and wellness, this immersive experience reinterprets the ancestral teachings of Lontar Usada in a contemporary context, transforming time-honoured rituals into meaningful moments of renewal. Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness represents “the wisdom of trees”, a tribute to Bali’s sacred ethnobotanical garden.
At the wellness sanctuary, guests are invited to indulge in the Mandala of Well-Being, a curated journey through three transformative stages – Rooting, Rebirth, and Resonance. Each stage draws upon ancient healing practices, such as sacred tree rituals, herbal remedies, mindful breathing, natural body scrubs, and movement-based meditation designed to awaken the senses and guide guests towards lasting renewal.
Additionally, Taru Pramana also offers deeply personal spiritual experiences, such as Weton readings based on the Balinese birthdate calendar, temple immersions, and bespoke healing rituals led by professional practitioners. These elements ensure each guest’s journey is unique, intuitive, and deeply connected to Bali’s sacred energy.
The journey is enhanced by three guiding pillars: Culture Inspires – honouring Bali’s living traditions through sacred rituals, music, and storytelling; Curated Experiences – thoughtfully curated therapies and wellness programmes rooted in Usada (Balinese healing); and Decadent Moments – intimate, meaningful encounters that allow for reflection, clarity, and resonance.
Guided by a vision to restore ancient wisdom with modern wellness, Rahma Susanti, Director of Wellness at The Meru Sanur, describes Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness as a living temple of healing where every ritual and remedy is thoughtfully curated to help guests realign with the essence of life, honouring ancestral knowledge through intention and tradition.
Discover the sacred power of nature that Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness offers – an Eden for those seeking authentic Balinese healing, spiritual awakening, and holistic renewal. Guests are encouraged to embrace the profound wisdom of the “Tree of Life” and reconnect with the divine energy of Mother Nature for enduring well-being. At the wellness oasis, it is more than a destination – it is a mindful, ever-unfolding journey.

Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan
Embark on a transformative journey in a sanctuary of primal balance at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan. Drawing on the flow between the seen and unseen, the resort’s Sacred River Spa ushers in a new era of wellbeing amidst the spiritual atmosphere of Ubud.
Revamped in late 2024, the Sacred River Spa is a destination in its own right, sprawling across a verdant 4,970 square-metre enclave. Behind the spa’s revitalisation is a trio of visionary teams: award-winning Australian architects The Fulcrum Agency, Japanese interior designers Design Studio SPIN, and Indonesian landscape consultants Bukit Kembar Permai.
Every wall, terrace, entrance, and planted area has been conceived to augment the light, sounds, foliage, and energies of the river valley surroundings. Artwork from Indonesian artists and ceramic masters grounds each area through the use of natural materials and calming colour palettes.
In this pure, sacred space – enclosed by the longest, widest, and most revered river in Bali – the energy of pulsing river waters and Ayung Valley verdure flows into soulful healing rituals, each crafted to align body and mind with the rhythms of nature and restore primal balance.
The spa haven features seven private Spa Villas cocooned beneath the jungle canopy, named after sacred Balinese elements, including Sejuk (Water), Gending (Sound), and Teja (Fire). Each boasts a hand-chiselled stone bathtub and state-of-the-art Lemi Portofino electric massage beds. Here, tradition and modernity exist in quiet harmony.
A serene Yoga Pavilion stands adjacent to the river for dreamy sessions among the elements, named Dharma Satya, after the Sanskrit word for “truth”. Additional facilities include a hybrid infrared and Swedish Sauna Treatment Villa, a Sound Healing Room with a bespoke playlist by Sayan Music, a nail studio, retail space, a Relaxation Pavilion and Dharma Shanti Bale.
Beyond the physical transformation, the Sacred River Spa’s revised menu channels the ancient Balinese philosophy of Niskala (unseen forces), inviting guests to go deeper through newly envisioned water-centric treatments that harness energetic flow from the intangible to the physical realm.
Each treatment opens and closes with quartz crystal singing bowls tuned to nature’s frequency of 432 Hz, harnessing the restorative power of sound to support multidimensional well-being. Six signature Balinese Healing Rituals showcase traditional wisdom, including Restu Bumi – a spiritual cleansing featuring local instruments, herbs and a warm gemstone massage – and the purifying Tirta Ening, which conveys the healing power of Bali’s revered water element.
Enhancing the sensorial experience, the spa’s biogeometric circles logo is recognised for its centring energy – a transcendental symbol said to resonate with global sacred sites and gently amplify life-force energy through mindful observations.
Treatments are further elevated through a collaboration with Synthesis Organics, a holistic plant-powered, energy-imbued skincare and aromatherapy line from Australia. Standout offerings include revised Chakra Ceremonies designed to maximise energy flow in a profound quest for spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional balance. A wide range of massages, facials, and TDA face and body therapies are also available.
Weaving traditional knowledge into the contemporary luxury experience is resident Wellness Mentor Ibu Fera. A former Buddhist nun who studied the Dharma in monasteries across Asia, she leads complimentary meditation classes twice daily, hosts weekly Life Talks at the Spa, and guides the daily Sacred Nap, inviting guests to awaken the deeper peace within.

Conrad Bali
In a bold reinterpretation of experiential luxury, Conrad Bali’s Conrad 1/3/5 is a signature programme crafted to transform how guests engage with the island’s rich cultural tapestry, natural beauty, and spiritual heritage.
As part of a global rollout by Conrad Hotels & Resorts, this initiative encourages discerning travellers to explore Bali through immersive itineraries tailored to their own pace – from one-, three-, or five-hour journeys. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of Hilton founder Barron Hilton, Conrad 1/3/5 reflects a new era of travel, where depth, authenticity, and personalisation take precedence over standard sightseeing.
Recognising that today’s travellers value expert guidance when shaping their journeys, Conrad 1/3/5 offers a seamless, hassle-free way to explore the soul of a destination through curated 1-Hour Escapes, 3-Hour Immersions, and 5-Hour Journeys. Crafted by the resort’s expert concierge team, each itinerary aligns with guests’ personal rhythm, interests, and curiosity, allowing discovery to unfold effortlessly and at a pace that feels entirely their own.
At Conrad Bali, true luxury is seen as the art of connection – to place, to people, and to oneself – an ethos embodied in Conrad 1/3/5, which invites guests to slow down, engage deeply, and experience Bali in ways that feel both intimate and transformative.
Highlights from the 1-Hour Escape include the Sway Sleep Journey – a cocooning ritual unfolding in aerial hammocks, complemented by weighted blankets and heated eye pillows, gently recreating the sensation of floating on a cloud and guiding guests into a deep/ly restorative state of rest; and the Crystal Sound Healing & Chakra Balancing – a restorative session led by resident healer Ayu Mas that draws upon vibrational frequencies and crystal energy to harmonise the body’s seven chakra centres, gently guiding the system back into balance.
The 3-Hour Immersions offer the Nawa Sanga Yantra Art Therapy – a guided creative journey unfolding through colour, sacred geometry, and intention, inviting healing, clarity, and personal insight to surface; and the Full Moon (Purnama) Celebration – a sacred experience aligned with Bali’s lunar calendar, weaving traditional offering-making, temple rituals, beachside meditation, and a Melukat purification ceremony for deep spiritual renewal.
For an extended experience, the 5-Hour Journeys present Foraging & Forest Bathing – a full-day immersion into the Bedugul rainforest, combining travel by vintage off-road vehicle and jukung kayak, and concluding with a tranquil lunch beside a hidden waterfall; and the Scenic Cooking Journey – a hands-on culinary exploration set at either Astungkara Way Regenerative Farm or Amed Salt Panning Farm, culminating in a chef-led cooking session that transforms freshly harvested ingredients into traditional Balinese dishes.
Ultimately, the Conrad 1/3/5 programme redefines luxury travel as a deeply personal journey of connection and discovery, where curated moments invite guests to experience the island’s culture, nature, and spirit in a way that is both unhurried and profoundly transformative.
