Worth the Wait

Choose from a treetop descent or riverside float at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, where you can either walk across a dramatic sky bridge, or experience the world’s first hotel arrival by river raft and float down the Ayung River valley. At Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, arrive to cliff-top views over the sleepy fishing village below and 3-mile beach.

Don’t remember being rocked to sleep as a baby? Let yourself be taken back to this nurturing childhood ritual with a Sacred Nap by Ibu Fera, Sayan’s resident wellness mentor who shares her wisdom as a former Buddhist nun. Experience energy healing by a traditional healer, or surrender any worries during one of the Sacred River Spa’s chakra ceremonies including the heart-healing Anahata treatment.

The same sun may set on us all, but Bali’s southwest coast has what many consider the best views in the world. Spend a day at Sundara Beach Club and witness a brilliant blue sky turn into a kaleidoscopic postcard, accompanied by world-class cuisine, ‘Zero Waste’ cocktails and live music. To get even closer to the horizon, embark on a private Sunset Cruise across the Bay.

Lose track of time while exploring Jimbaran’s 14 hectares of oceanfront botanical-style gardens and Sayan’s eight hectares, nestled between two rivers. On-site herb and vegetable gardens supplement locally sourced produce for the Resorts’ restaurants and bars. Meanwhile, for a private open-air experience, the new Healing Village Spa’s Longevity Garden offers self-directed pampering, alone or with a partner. Volcanic mud masks, coconut soap, infrared mats for mineral absorption, sun-warmed stone lounges and invigorating ice baths provide the perfect way to scrub away the past few months and reboot the future.
