Good news for spa lovers as YTL Hotels’ award-winning Spa Village Resort Tembok in Bali is offering its guests the all-inclusive Renewal Retreat to start 2015 off on the right foot.

Located on the serene northeastern coast of the Island of the Gods, the resort is the perfect hideaway for those looking for some relaxation far from the madding crowds of Kuta and Seminyak.

Bali’s true essence and culture come through in the intimate, 31-room resort, framed by swaying coconut palms buffeted by soft breezes and opening out onto a tranquil beach of black volcanic sand and the pristine blue Bali Sea.

Also included are healthy meals prepared at The Wantilan by Chef Martin Buchele, whose food philosophy focuses on high-quality local ingredients prepared simply so that the freshness of the product shines.

Guests may also select from unlimited herbal teas to accompany their meals. The program encompasses daily 50-minute spa treatments, ranging from traditional Balinese Massage to the invigorating Three-Point Massage.

These treatments are preceded by Segara Giri, the resort’s detoxifying Signature Pretreatment Ritual, which is said to be heaven-sent for those suffering from jet lag, stiff joints and bloating after travel.

To calm the mind, body, and spirit, a schedule of holistic activities such as Hatha yoga classes, creativity classes, meditation, and wellness talks by visiting practitioners.

Other activities that guests can enjoy while at the resort include snorkelling in crystalline waters right off the resort beach, cooking classes, a yoga swing, and Pencak Silat.

Alternatively, paid excursions such as the Sunrise or Sunset Cruise in a Traditional Balinese Jukong, a Bicycle Tour to Les Waterfalls or Diving Day Trips are available alongside excursions to local villages and places of interest.

The Renewal Retreat culminates with a nourishing mineral bath on the final evening, and guests are seen off with a Self-Care E-handbook to refer to post-retreat. Starlight Gazing—the resort’s signature activity—helps guests on the journey to relaxation and tranquillity.
