Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa
From the moment you arrive at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa in Bali, you realise one thing. This is going to be a very special life experience. We felt it right at the moment we arrived, while our driver was approaching the entrance of the hotel, that we were entering a luxurious ancient Balinese house.
Upon arrival, the hotel staff was waiting for us at the entrance and welcomed us with flower necklaces. The flower necklaces were made specially for us and a smile on their faces.
Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa
We had arrived at Bali a few days before we visit Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa. The first days in Bali were very busy for us.
In our effort to see and do most of the things we had on our “Must visit/do list”, Katharina and I ended up literally running from one place to another. From Canggu to Seminyak, from Seminyak to Nusa Penida.
And then, back to Sanur where the driver of Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa picked us up to bring us to the retreat.
Now I look back and remember clearly that during these first days in Bali, Katharina and I were aching for a place like Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa. A place where we would finally be able to detoxify the body and relax the mind.
Honest review for Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa in Bali
I have stayed in several spa hotels in Europe, but I’ve never been to an Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa anywhere in the world before. This was a completely new experience for me. This ancient luxury Balinese home was definitely not just another spa hotel.
Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa is a traditional healing environment where the staff want to support, nurture and gently assist you to achieve your health and wellness goals.
I feel lucky and privileged that I have had this experience. And happy to share it on The Viennese Girl travel/photography blog, so that you will also get to know about it.
4 relaxing days at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa
We spent 4 relaxing days at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa, one of the most exclusive boutique health and wellness retreats in the world. During our stay, we spent most of the time in the hotel because the lovely team gave us a personalised daily programme (Panchakarma programme) that combined Ayurvedic treatments, yoga and meditation that balances the mind, body and soul.
We only stepped out from the hotel for a bike ride to Pererenan Beach, an early morning walk through the village and the rice fields of the area, and a visit to Bali’s famous Tanah Lot temple. All these activities were organised by the hotel and were not obbligatory.
What I miss most from Sukhavati Retreat and Spa
1. The views of the lush surroundings from our own private villa called Chintanami. I miss being surrounded by the tropical jungle.
2. The 90 minute massage treatments. They lasted long and their hands were doing magic.
3. The presence of frangipani and orchids literally everywhere in the hotel.
4. Listening to the sounds of nature while being pampered with divine spa treatments.
5. Last but not least, the lovely team of Sukhavati Retreat and Spa.
