S ince this high-end sanctuary for holistic health and healing opened in Bali’s verdant heart in 2005, it has set the standard for wellness retreats worldwide. The stressed-out and spiritually minded flock here to reset on one of its bespoke programmes, or to eat, pray and love in its glow restaurant, yoga pavilions and airy residences and villas with their infinity pools and outdoor showers. Its secret weapon is its lush setting on the banks of the Ayung River, in 23 acres that also harbour a sacred spring and a series of striking waterfall pools.
