New Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Bali focuses on wellness, nature
Ritz-Carlton has opened a new Reserve property in Ubud, Bali that features individually tailored spiritual, wellness, health and detox programs.
The Mandapa is the third resort in the bespoke Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio, and features 35 suites and 25 private pool villas. Named after the entrance to a traditional Hindu temple, Mandapa features interiors by Jeffrey Wilkes of Asia-based DesignWilkes.
The eight-treatment room Spa at Mandapa focuses on holistic, comprehensive wellness and lifestyle programs based on six pillars: Balinese spa, detox & nutrition, alternative therapy, body therapy, and healing. It will use ESPA products and also includes a fitness centre, sauna, riverfront yoga studio, vitality pool and relaxation areas.
In addition to individually tailored spiritual, wellness, health and detox programs, guests will have the full-time personalised attention of a dedicated Patih, or butler. The company said the retreat is “designed to be a sanctuary in which relaxing one’s mind, body and soul comes naturally.”
The company also said “unobstructed access to nature is an essential component of the experience” at Mandapa, which is designed to look like an indigenous Balinese village. It even includes a traditional rice field at the center of the resort, where guests can partake in planting, harvesting and tending the rice.
The property also features an organic farm and garden, along with a Kids’ Hut that provides nature-based educational activities for children.
The Ritz-Carlton also opened the Ritz-Carlton, Bali on the southern tip of the island Nusa Dua, earlier this year.
