Surrounded by lush rice fields and serene jungle, Gdas Bali offers 27 rooms and villas, and is a welcoming and modern wellness resort for those looking to restore, rejuvenate and relax.
The sleek and elegant resort opened in October 2022 and is located near Ubud, which is often considered to be the spiritual and cultural epicentre of Bali. And at Gdas Bali the series of programmes and therapies offered by the resort’s certified holistic healers are designed to soothe the body, mind and soul, using both traditional and cutting-edge techniques and therapies.
Embracing wellness
Many of the modern therapeutic treatments and equipment at Gdas Bali aren’t available anywhere else on the island, and can be experienced at the resort’s wellness sanctuary, The Bali Eden, which opens in early 2023.
In the cryotherapy chamber guests are briefly exposed to incredibly low temperatures, which is believed to decrease inflammation, accelerate recovery, and boost energy levels. During live O2 therapy they breathe high levels of oxygen while exercising, with the aim of removing waste gases and toxins, while the colonic hydrotherapy treatments are designed to help aid a healthy gut. Clients can also receive nutrients via IV drips and head into the salt therapy cabin.
Exercise, yoga, meditation and spa therapies are combined with ancient healing traditions that use plant-based food, essential oils and herbs as medicine.
Guests can experience this first-hand at the Arana spa, a heavenly garden spa using fresh hand-picked ingredients from the herbal garden. It’s home to a herb laboratory, where some of the 250 herbs and plants grown on-site can be found.
Other facilities at The Bali Eden include a yoga shala area, steam room, infrared and traditional saunas, a bathhouse, plunge pools and fitness centre. The resort also has a pool and library.
