In addition to its luxurious lodging, the resort offers an abundance of top-notch facilities. Savour a luxurious spa treatment at The Sacred River Spa, which is based on the Balinese ideas of niskala and sekala or the flow of the invisible to the visible. Chakra-balancing spa treatments and a dynamic yoga programme, including Full Moon, Laughter and AntiGravity yoga, are complemented by a Jungle Biathlon and a Sacred Nap experience, where guests are tenderly rocked to sleep in silk hammocks by a resident wellness mentor.
Culinary enthusiasts will find delight in the diverse gastronomic offerings that are available in and around the resort. Putting the wellbeing of its guests as a priority, the resort introduces the Indonesian Sattvic menu at its treetop restaurant, Ayung Terrace. With its roots in Indian Ayurveda, the Sattvic diet has become popular worldwide among those who aim to elevate their sattva or consciousness and goodness. Light, seasonal and healthy, plus high in fibre, fresh vegetables, grains and nuts, this ethos translates to balanced dishes that can promote mental clarity, increase longevity and boost immunity.
Beyond the resort’s walls lies adventure and a wide range of activities to suit every taste. Balinese cuisine and plant-based cooking classes take place at Sokasi, with Head Chef Wayan Sutariawan serving up a masterful showcase during his intimate seven-course Chef’s Table and the Sokasi Farmer’s Brunch celebrating local agricultural heritage through farm-to-table dishes by the Ayung River. Then there are privately guided tours to tucked-away Hindu temples, UNESCO-listed rice paddies, shimmering lakes and sunrise-lit volcanoes.
