Wellness

There is a holistic approach to healing here, designed to tune into your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. The therapists are authentic Balinese healers using ancient wisdoms passed down from direct lineages. The methods used for healing include deep bodywork, meditation, pranic energy healing and chakra balancing. Acknowledging and respecting your individuality, all programmes are personalised to guide you on your healing path. Retreats are based on a combination of Balinese healing (rituals for purification, balancing and regeneration); Living foods (for life invigoration) and Sacred arts (for inner strength, alignment and dedication).

The emphasis for the beauty treatments is on authentic village remedies, capturing the healing powers of plants. All the treatments are freshly prepared onsite from indigenous raw ingredients such as frangipani blossoms, aloe vera, coconut oil and salt crystals.

What’s on the menu

All dishes on the menu are plant based. Their goal is simple - to let mother nature's cuisine shine with all tastes, textures, colours and flavours! Food is prepared with passion and attention to detail and offers optimal nutrition and energy. Most of the ingredients are organic at the height of the season. The retreat also supports local farmers, sustainable agriculture and environmentally friendly products. Cooking classes are available. However, everything is about balance in Fivelements and if you fancy a glass of wine with your dinner that is absolutely fine!
