Bali Day Retreats and Bali Spas

WELLNESS TRENDS: Bali Day Retreats are an emerging trend at luxury resorts and spas in Bali.  

Bali has long been regarded as the spa capitol of the world and with good reason. The small Hindu island is home to some of the oldest healing traditions in the world inclusive of massage, healers, full moon bathing rituals, and more. Not to mention that the Balinese lifestyle practices of daily offerings temple visits and ceremonies provide great inspiration for spa treatments.  As well, Bali’s history of cultural influences from China, India and beyond have brought incredible disciplines such as Ayurveda, Malaysian and Chinese medicine that have also been integrated into Bali spa life in subtle ways.
