WELLNESS for LIFE

Our Wellness World

WELLBEING, ROOTED IN BALI

At Fivelements Ubud, wellness is shaped by the healing traditions of Bali, the rhythms of nature and a belief in the connection between physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. Traditional healing, therapeutic bodywork, water therapies, sacred movement, botanical remedies and mindful practices can be experienced individually or brought together as part of a more personal approach.

Set beside the Ayung River and immersed in the tropical landscape, each experience encourages guests to slow down, reconnect and engage with wellbeing in a way that feels intuitive, restorative and deeply connected to place.

A Place for Healing

HEALING & WELLNESS VILLAGE

Open daily, 9 AM – 8 PM

Set within the natural landscape of Fivelements Ubud, the Healing & Wellness Village brings together treatment spaces, water healing, movement, botanical preparation and sacred practice in one connected environment. From private healing suites and the warm water healing pool to bamboo yoga salas, the healing laboratory and ceremonial spaces, each setting has its own purpose while remaining part of a wider approach to wellbeing. The Ayung River flows beside the village, creating a constant natural presence as guests move between therapy, movement, meditation, rest and ritual. Here, architecture, landscape and Balinese healing traditions work together to create an environment designed for deeper restoration and reconnection.

SPACES FOR HEALING, MOVEMENT & RITUAL

HEALING LABORATORY

A distinctive part of the Fivelements Ubud healing experience, the healing laboratory translates traditional botanical knowledge into preparations used throughout our therapies and rituals. Fresh herbs and plants, many harvested from our own medicinal gardens, are transformed into bespoke oils, scrubs, masks and other natural remedies using recipes informed by generations of local knowledge. Its contemporary design intentionally contrasts with the retreat's organic textures, bringing precision and craftsmanship to a practice deeply rooted in nature and Balinese healing tradition.

YOGA SALAS

Purpose-built from sustainable bamboo and alang-alang thatch, our yoga salas provide inspiring environments for yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, workshops and other contemplative practices. Open architecture connects each space to the surrounding landscape, allowing natural light, air and the sounds of Bali to become part of the experience.

Mandala Agung | 250 sqm

Our largest and most iconic bamboo pavilion, Mandala Agung offers an expansive setting for yoga, meditation, ceremonies, workshops and group retreats. Its soaring circular architecture creates a powerful sense of openness while remaining closely connected to nature.

Mandala Alit | 50 sqm

An intimate practice space overlooking the natural landscape, Mandala Alit suits smaller yoga sessions, meditation, workshops and private gatherings. Its scale and open design create a quieter environment for focused practice and connection.

GYM

A compact, well-equipped fitness space for strength, cardiovascular conditioning and independent training. Modern equipment allows guests to maintain their regular routine or complement yoga, movement and other wellness practices during their stay.

SWIMMING POOL

Surrounded by tropical gardens, the ionised swimming pool offers a peaceful environment for swimming, gentle movement or simply cooling down between activities. The chemical-conscious water system and natural setting make it equally suited to exercise and unhurried relaxation.

WATER HEALING POOL

One of the defining wellness spaces at Fivelements Ubud, the temperature-controlled water healing pool is designed specifically for therapeutic aquatic practices including Watsu-inspired bodywork. Buoyancy, gentle movement and practitioner-guided touch allow the body to release tension with minimal effort, creating conditions for profound physical relaxation and nervous system rest.

Set close to the Ayung River, the experience draws naturally on Bali’s relationship with water as a source of cleansing, renewal and healing.

SACRED SPACE

Located near the entrance of the retreat, the Sacred Space sits at the intersection of eight major ley lines, creating a natural vortex of energy long recognised by Balinese priests and healers. Eight river stones encircle the circular open-air space, while pendulums at its centre remain in continuous motion, responding to the energetic force of this unique point in the landscape.

The site is also known for its extraordinary relationship with the elements, with lightning repeatedly striking this exact location during major tropical storms. Set beside the Kunda Fire Altar, the Sacred Space is used for meditation, blessings, contemplation and personal ritual. Its powerful natural resonance makes it one of the retreat’s most distinctive places - a space to become still, connect and experience the energy of Fivelements Ubud at its most elemental.

KUNDA FIRE ALTAR

Fire has long held symbolic importance across Balinese and Vedic traditions as an element of purification, transformation and renewal. The Kunda Fire Altar provides a dedicated ceremonial setting for fire rituals and blessings, including Agni Hotra, where meditation, mantra and traditional offerings create an experience centred on intention and release.

GALLERY

A curated boutique bringing together artisan pieces, natural skincare, Fivelements essential oils and incense, jewellery, textiles, books and selected lifestyle pieces from Bali, the Indonesian archipelago and beyond. Each item is chosen for its craftsmanship, provenance and connection to conscious living.

BOTANICAL BATHING RITUALS

Water, flowers, herbs and aromatic oils come together in bathing rituals inspired by Bali’s enduring relationship with purification and the natural world.

From adapted Balinese massage and botanical facials for teens to playful treatments for children, each experience makes wellness approachable, comforting and enjoyable.

HOLISTIC HAND & FOOT CARE

Natural care for hands, feet and nails centred on wellbeing. Herbal soaking rituals, botanical exfoliation, careful nail and cuticle care and restorative massage leave hands and feet refreshed while supporting circulation, softness and relaxation.

INTEGRATIVE HEALING THERAPIES

A highly individual collection of therapeutic and energetic practices that extends beyond conventional bodywork. Watsu-inspired aquatic healing, Taksu massage, reflexology, energy realignment, hypnotherapy, coaching, intuitive healing, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and other specialised approaches bring together the physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions of wellbeing. Guided by the nature of each practice and the individual needs of the guest, these experiences invite deeper restoration, insight and realignment.

SACRED MOVEMENT & BREATHING

Movement, breath, meditation and sound become practices for cultivating awareness, vitality and inner stillness. Yoga traditions, Qigong, conscious breathing, meditation and sound healing are offered individually and in thoughtfully combined experiences, inviting guests to explore the relationship between body, energy and mind through movement and quiet presence.
