Enjoy a quiet moment in the tropical garden. The plants in the retreat are not merely decoration—they were carefully picked to purify. Or help out Chef Tantra, gathering fresh produce for the plant-based kitchen

Experience a Balinese blessing ritual. It not only serves as a tribute to the sun but also as a means of purifying negative thoughts and unwanted energy.

Meet your Host

Meet John, the General Manager at Fivelements. John grew up in Denmark with a British mother and Danish father.

He’s spent the past 20 years based in Melbourne with his family. He’s always loved travel and is a keen squash player.

‘Our most senior chef Made Tantra came from a fairly traditional chef background. Shortly after starting to work for Fivelements Retreat, his wife got sick with breast cancer. Having studied the effects of plant-based food he started serving her only vegetables, both raw and warmed, as well as Soursop, leaves for tea, she also visited local Balinese healers for massage. A year later, his wife had completely recovered’

Need to know

Smoking and alcohol are not allowed in this wellness resort. As a place for rejuvenation and detoxification, it makes sense 😉

Fivelements doesn’t use air-conditioning in the public spaces, including the dining room, the Spa and yoga hall. The natural architecture helps to keep it cool.
