How experienced do I need to be with meditation and yoga practices?

This retreat welcomes complete beginners as all activities are designed for any experience level with personal guidance provided throughout.

What's the difference between this retreat and a regular spa vacation?

Fivelements focuses on authentic Balinese healing traditions with qualified local healers rather than standard spa treatments, offering genuine cultural immersion alongside wellness.

Do I need to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy the food?

No previous plant-based eating experience needed - the award-winning chefs make the transition easy and delicious for everyone.

Is the retreat suitable for solo travelers or do I need to come with someone?

Solo travelers are very welcome and many guests come alone to focus on personal healing - you'll easily connect with like-minded people during group activities.

Key Highlights

Ananda Meditation With Dada

Join one-on-one meditation sessions with Dada, a Balinese monk who teaches the ancient art of finding happiness within yourself. He shares simple techniques you can use every day to feel more peaceful and connected. His warm teaching style helps you discover a sense of joy that comes from deep inside.

Mindfulness & Sound Healing

Heal through the power of sound vibrations that work on both your body and mind to create deep relaxation. The session starts with vocal exercises and then guides you into a peaceful state where you can let go of stress. You'll learn to be present in the moment without judging your thoughts or feelings.

Aikido Training

Learn this Japanese martial art from masters Arie and Ristie, who teach you how to find strength through peace and balance. The practice shows you how to stay centered and calm when facing challenges in daily life. These skills help you handle difficult situations with grace while respecting both yourself and others.

Water Healing Therapy

Float gently in warm water while trained therapists move your body through healing stretches and massage. The water supports your weight completely, allowing your muscles to relax deeply and release tension you've been holding. This peaceful treatment feels like being safely held while your body naturally heals itself.

Healing Therapy & Physiotherapy

Work with professional physical therapists who create a personal treatment plan just for your body's needs. They use specific exercises and hands-on techniques to help you move better and feel stronger. These sessions address any pain or stiffness while improving your overall health and energy.

More about this escape

You wake up each morning to the sound of gentle waves outside your villa, which has its own infinity pool that looks out over the blue ocean. Soneva Kiri offers luxurious overwater and beachfront villas with sustainable design on the pristine island of Koh Kood. The resort focuses on barefoot luxury where you can disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature in complete privacy.

Your days include swimming and snorkeling in clear water where you can see tropical fish and coral reefs up close. You visit traditional fishing villages where Thai families show you how they cook fresh seafood and share stories about their island life. In the evenings, you eat dinner in a natural cave, on the beach, or at restaurants built on cliffs with amazing views of the ocean. Every day at Kiri Private Reserve gives you special moments that you will remember long after you go home. Another wellness-focused stay in Bali, Bali Wellness Retreat for Mind, Body & Soul, centers on private villa healing and traditional ceremonies for couples.
