Bali is an island **deeply connected** to spirituality, where every home is blessed daily and has its own temple. Gods are honored, and the spirits of nature are treated with great respect. The Balinese believe in the unseen forces present in everything around them—from animals and beaches to the lush jungle and the vibrant green rice fields, with a majestic volcano on the horizon. For centuries, Balinese beauty and wellness traditions have been an essential part of life, long before ‘spa’ and ‘wellness’ became modern trends. These rituals are not just about healing illnesses but also about bringing peace and balance to the body and mind. Passed down through generations, these natural traditions form the foundation of authentic Balinese massages and wellness treatments. Using locally sourced herbs, flowers, sea salt, and volcanic materials, these therapies are deeply rooted in nature. Thanks to this strong spiritual heritage, Bali is home to a wide variety of unique wellness retreats.

Floortje: 'It’s strange how we only start paying attention to our mental and physical well-being once we've already pushed ourselves too far. And I’m no exception - I take on too many commitments, struggle to say ‘no,’ and sooner or later, that catches up with me. I’m heading to Bali for filming, and it’s the perfect chance to dive into the island’s many wellness and spiritual retreats. More than 20 years ago, Denpasar was just a small, chaotic airport. Now, it’s a massive, modern hub packed with tourists. While some areas of Bali have become overrun with visitors, the wellness retreats remain untouched sanctuaries of nature and peace, with a truly special energy.' Read her full blog here...
