Cleanse Your Mind and Body in Bali

Escape to Bali for a cleansing getaway…

Nestled alongside the Ayung River in the lush highlands near the village of Ubud, Bali, you will find Fivelements Puri Ahimsa.This top notch eco-conscious healing resort draws its inspiration from its surroundings, and in particular the Balinese way of life which believes that we should come into harmony with the Spirit, the environment and with one another.

Fivelements believes in an integrative healing approach and each programme is designed to tune in on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. They do this through their food, activities on offer and healing treatments

Fivelements is primarily a healing resort and this is where it really comes into its own. Each guest is treated to a wellness programme which includes Traditional Balinese Healing treatments and ceremonies from Balinese massage to energy healing treatments. The Balinese healers follow the principle of Sekala-Niskala which basically believes that at any one time we are living equally in the world of the conscious (Sekala) and the unconscious or psychic (Niskala). During your healing session, the healers call on the guides from both worlds.

Having recently won an award for their Raw food cuisine, you can expect your taste buds to be treated to a taste sensation. More than half of the dishes are raw and vegan and support the healing process helping you feel more energised mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You’ll be given a choice of activities which include yoga, meditation, Qi gong, dance and expressive arts helping you connect more deeply to your inner self and opening your body and mind to the healing process.

Leading the way in the world of Eco resorts the property with over 70% of the property made of bamboo. Fivelements has seven bedrooms in standalone pavilions with a view onto the river’s swirling currents and your very own private outdoor open air bathtub!
