What’s New at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan

Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has introduced two noteworthy updates: the revitalised Sacred River Spa and a new dining concept at Riverside restaurant. Together, these additions bring a fresh dimension to the resort’s offerings, combining thoughtful design with cultural influences to enhance the guest experience.

The locally-inspired Restu Bumi treatment at Sacred River Spa

A New Luxury Spa in Ubud: Sacred River Spa

The Sacred River Spa, spanning nearly 5,000 square metres, has undergone a transformation guided by collaborations with architectural and design teams from Australia, Japan, and Indonesia. Its design integrates natural materials, soothing colours, and artistic features that reflect the surrounding river valley. Inspired by the Balinese concept of Niskala, which centres on unseen energy, the spa offers treatments that aim to harmonise the physical and spiritual.

Highlights include Restu Bumi, a cleansing practice using local herbs and moss agate gemstone massage to connect to the land’s sacred energies, and Tirta Ening, a sacred water ceremony to harness the healing power of the island’s water element.These treatments are enhanced by a partnership with Synthesis Organics, an Australian brand specialising in plant-based skincare. Each session begins and concludes with the calming tones of quartz crystal singing bowls, and the spa’s facilities feature a dedicated sound healing room and curated music that incorporates Solfeggio frequencies.

New experience and treatments such as Tirta Ening await at Sacred River Spa

The spa’s amenities include seven private treatment villas, each blending natural features like hand-chiselled stone bathtubs with modern touches such as advanced massage beds. Additional facilities include a yoga pavilion, a hybrid sauna villa, and a nail studio. Meditation classes and wellness talks, led by former Buddhist nun Ibu Fera, provide further opportunities for reflection and renewal.

Enjoy Mediterranean delicacies at the revamped Riverside restaurant

Balinese Head Chef Wayan Sutariawan has crafted a menu that draws from the cuisines of Italy, Spain, Greece, and France, showcasing a blend of fresh ingredients and inventive preparation. Guests can enjoy their meals in an open-air setting near the river, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.
