The Ultimate Bali Health Retreat & Wellbeing Resort in Ubud

A Sanctuary Awaits in Bali

Bali has long been revered as a destination for wellness seekers and soul searchers, with scenic beauty inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect. Tucked away in the heart of this serene island is Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, a resort that gently redefines what a Bali health retreat can be. Here, wellness flows not from a checklist of treatments but from a deeper philosophy. One that is rooted in nature, presence and the freedom to be.

Ubud: The Beating Heart of Bali’s Wellbeing Scene

Ubud is often described as the soul of Bali's wellness retreat movement, and it’s easy to see why. With its deep spiritual heritage, lush surroundings and holistic culture, Ubud creates a setting where personal transformation feels both organic and inevitable. Here’s what sets it apart:

Spiritual and Cultural Foundations: Ubud is home to ancient temples, ceremonial traditions and local healers who carry forward time-honoured wellness practices.
A Lush and Healing Landscape: Because Ubud is enveloped by jungle, rice terraces and meandering rivers, it has become an ultimate haven for rest, reflection and connection.
A Thriving Wellness Community: From yoga and meditation to detox retreats and integrative therapies, Ubud has blossomed into a hub for unique experiences.
A Culture of Mindful Living: The community embraces conscious travel and sustainable living, making it a place where visitors can align with nature, purpose and self.

In the heart of this vibrant Ubud wellness retreat landscape, Buahan offers a quiet counterpoint to Ubud’s energy, embracing the same healing spirit while guiding guests inward on a more personal, reflective path.

Buahan’s Setting and Signature Experiences

While Ubud is the vibrant epicentre of Bali’s health retreat culture, Buahan offers a more secluded path—one that draws on the island’s healing traditions while retreating into its untouched wilderness.

Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, is nestled in a tranquil enclave north of Ubud, where open-air living encourages an intimate connection with the natural world. Surrounded by rainforest and mountain ranges, this wellness resort in Bali offers sweeping views of the famed seven peaks. Its signature "bales"—villas designed without walls—immerse guests in the sights and sounds of the forest.

Wellbeing is the essence of the experience at Buahan. From mindful architecture to nourishing cuisine and soul-stirring rituals, every detail reflects a belief in slow, intentional living rooted in nature and presence.

A Journey into Holistic Healing

At the heart of Buahan's offering is its distinctive approach to wellbeing. The Toja Spa, named after the Indonesian word for water, is an open-air sanctuary rooted in decades of expertise from Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts. Inspired by Balinese healing traditions and created in collaboration with local practitioners, treatments use native botanicals and handmade scrubs crafted onsite.

Highly trained therapists guide guests through therapies that aim to restore balance and harmony. Beyond spa treatments, this Ubud wellness retreat curates immersive experiences such as:

Sound Healing: Harnesses the vibrational energy of sound to guide inner healing and realignment.
Soul Ceremonies: Deeply rooted in local traditions, these rituals aim to free emotional blockages and restore spiritual clarity.
Insight Journey: A guided experience where guests receive blessings and astrological insights from a village priest, culminating in a powerful purification ritual.
Moon Yoga: Held during the full or new moon, this practice involves moon salutations and rituals guided by a yoga guru, incorporating sound bowls and candlelight to align with lunar energy and enhance inner reflection.

Each of these experiences weaves together physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, offering guests a holistic journey toward inner renewal.

Wellness Rooted in Nature and Sustainability

Buahan’s philosophy is inseparable from the land that surrounds it. Sustainability is more than a value—it is a way of life. The resort’s open design embraces the surrounding jungle, with architecture crafted from reclaimed wood and natural materials that blend seamlessly into the environment. This thoughtful integration invites guests to live in harmony with nature, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out.

The same philosophy flows through Buahan’s culinary offerings. With a plant-forward menu that draws from local farms and nearby forests, dining here becomes a nourishing ritual.

Every meal is designed not just to sustain, but to celebrate the island’s bounty and deepen guests’ connection to place.

Living without walls, guests become attuned to the rhythms of the wild—the rustle of leaves, the call of birds, the quiet at sunrise. This intimate bond with nature, reinforced through thoughtful design and mindful dining, defines Buahan as a sanctuary for those seeking harmony and restoration.
