Wellness in the Bali Mountains

Key Highlights

Yoga

Classes run throughout the day in pavilions with no walls, just open sides that let breezes move through. Teachers guide everyone from complete beginners to people who have been practicing for decades, adjusting poses so bodies of all abilities can participate safely. What matters here isn’t touching your toes or holding a headstand but actually paying attention to what your body is telling you.

Desa Seni Tour

Walk through the gardens with someone who knows every plant by name and purpose. They’ll show you where the basil for tonight’s pesto is growing and explain why planting marigolds next to tomatoes keeps bugs away naturally. By the time you sit down for your next meal, you’ll recognize half the ingredients because you saw them in the ground that morning.

Merapu Svaasthya Spa & Healing

The spa uses massage techniques from Bali combined with oils made from tropical plants grown nearby. Each treatment is different because therapists spend time figuring out where you’re holding tension before they start working. The goal isn’t just to feel relaxed for an hour but to help your body remember it doesn’t have to stay clenched all the time.

Farm to Table Dining

Chef Willy Kobylt plans menus based on what’s actually ready to harvest rather than ordering from suppliers. One week might bring eggplant three different ways, the next week it’s all about leafy greens and fresh herbs. The kitchen handles dietary restrictions easily because when you’re cooking with vegetables picked that morning, it’s hard to make anything taste boring.

Cultural Experiences

Learn to weave Canang, those small palm leaf baskets filled with flowers that show up on doorsteps and temple steps all over Bali. A teacher explains how this daily offering practice keeps people connected to gratitude even during ordinary moments. Other workshops cover traditional herbal remedies still used in villages today, while evening performances bring dancers and musicians who tell stories through movement and drums.

More about this escape

Wake up to yoga in open pavilions where the sounds of the forest become part of your practice. Spend mornings walking through Desa Seni gardens learning which herbs heal what ailments, or join workshops where local artisans teach traditional flower weaving techniques passed down through generations.

When afternoon arrives, you might find yourself in the kitchen learning to grind spice pastes for Balinese curry, or in the art studio with paint on your hands. Maybe you just want to lie by the pool with a book while butterflies drift past.

Nothing here is required. The schedule exists to give structure to those who want it, but there’s equal value in doing absolutely nothing if that’s what your body is asking for.


Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Welcome

Check into a restored wooden structure that started its life on a different Indonesian island before being brought here piece by piece. The carved doorways and traditional architecture make each building feel distinct. Take an afternoon tour to get oriented, then join a yoga class if jet lag hasn’t caught up yet, before settling in for dinner made from vegetables the garden team picked earlier today.


Meals: Dinner

Activities: Property tour, yoga or meditation class


Day 2: Gardens and Healing

Start with a garden walk that teaches you to identify ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass while they’re still in the ground. Your guide explains how the whole system works together without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, showing you the companion planting methods that keep everything thriving. Later, a massage therapist works through the knots in your shoulders and lower back using techniques that have been refined over centuries. The afternoon takes you to Bedugul, followed by time at the traditional market where vendors sell dragon fruit, hand-carved bowls, and more spices than you knew existed.


Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Activities: Garden tour, signature massage, temple, and market visit


Day 3: Nature and Tradition

Head out early to hike through the jungle to Leke Leke Waterfall, where the trail winds past ferns and vines until suddenly you’re standing in front of water tumbling into pools so clear you can count the rocks on the bottom. Jump in if you want, because the cold is startling but worth it. Back at the resort, reflexology proves that pressing certain spots on your feet can somehow untangle your entire back, a treatment that sounds strange but works remarkably well. Join the cooking class to harvest your own ingredients and learn why Balinese food layers so many flavors.


Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Activities: Waterfall hike, reflexology, cooking class


Day 4: Departure

Have one more breakfast featuring whatever fruit is ripest today, savoring the flavors one last time before checking out and heading to your next destination with transport arranged by the resort.

Good to Know

Bring Layers

Baturiti is in the highlands, where temperatures drop 5 to 10 degrees lower than on the coast. Pack a light jacket for early morning yoga and evenings.

Wear Proper Shoes and Temple Clothing

Bring sturdy closed-toe shoes for the waterfall hike. Temple visits require covered shoulders and knees, so pack modest clothing or a sarong.

Menus Change Weekly

The kitchen creates meals based on what is ready to harvest that week. Let the staff know about any food allergies or dietary needs when you arrive.

About your stay

Desa Seni

Br. Mayungan Let No.13, Antapan, Kec. Baturiti

The property sits up in Baturiti, where rice terraces climb the slopes, and the air runs cooler than down on the coast. Desa Seni spent two decades in the busier Canggu area before moving here in 2025, choosing mountains and farmland over beach crowds to get back to what the place was always meant to be about.

Your Accommodation

The Baturiti accommodation works perfectly for solo travelers with its queen bed and private garden steps from the pool. Village stays offer single bedrooms with king beds and rain showers, decorated with traditional Indonesian art and antique furnishings. Deluxe options provide flexible sleeping arrangements that can be configured with either a king bed or two singles, with room for an extra bed if needed. Suite accommodations feature expansive living areas and large porches overlooking the resort gardens, giving groups or families plenty of space to spread out. All rooms include carved wood details and bathrooms with rain showers that feel particularly good after a day of hiking or yoga.
