Bali is known for its world-class hospitality and stunning luxury resorts.
With hoteliers and travel agents always on the lookout for ways to add a touch of sparkle and uniqueness to a stay on the island, hosts have become incredibly inventive.
Four Seasons Bali, which has resorts in both Jimbaran Bay and Sayan, just outside of Ubud, offers exceptional family-friendly stays, the utmost luxury, and plenty of ways to have fun while connecting to the island’s landscape and cultural heritage.
For tourists staying at both the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay and Four Seasons Sayan by the River, there is an option to arrive by raft along the Ayung River.
With luggage and transfers all taken care of, guests simply have to pop on their life jackets and helmets, and jump into the raft, lie back, and admire the views of the green forests of Gianyar Regency and the Sayan Valley.
This is the only hotel in the world that offers the chance to arrive by raft, and it is an opportunity not to be missed.
Rafting on the Ayung River is one of the most popular activities in Ubud, and whether staying at the Four Seasons or not, it is an adventure that has to feature on a bucket list vacation in Bali.
River rafting tours are offered as stand-alone rafting trips or as combined day trips featuring rafting, ATV riding through the jungle, and guided waterfall tours in the forests that surround Ubud.
During the high season, it is advisable to book well ahead of time to secure the dates and times that suit your travel itinerary.
Most tours also include pick up and drop off from your hotel and accommodation. Tourists are also advised to check that their medical and travel insurance policy includes cover for activities such as ATV riding and River rafting.
In some policies, cover for these kinds of activities is included automatically, and in many others, cover is only provided as part of an add-on package for the policy.
Back at the Four Seasons in Bali, with Twice The Magic offer, guests can book a combined stay at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay and Four Seasons Bali at Sayan, with a complimentary third night with every two consecutive paid nights at each resort.
The offer also includes daily breakfast for two guests per bedroom at each resort, and a one-way car transfer between the two resorts, the rafting arrival experience can be arranged directly with the hotel.
With a minimum stay of six nights in Bali, the offer is valid from 28th November 2024 to 31st March 2027, so there is plenty of time to save for that dream Bali vacation with Four Seasons.
In fact, things at Four Seasons Bali Sayan have just been taken up a notch with the opening of The Scared River Spa this month.
With a whole new look, a new treatment menu, and under the guidance of resident Wellness Mentor Ibu Fera, guests have an unparalleled opportunity to unwind, rejuvenate, and heal.
Four Seasons explains, “A former Buddhist nun who studied the Dharma in monasteries across Asia, Fera leads complimentary meditation classes twice daily.”
“Her weekly Life Talks touch on everyday subjects – such as happiness, compassion, and stress – and offer ways to address them with peace and presence of mind.”
Guests seeking total relaxation are advised to check out Fera’s Sacred Nap, a session that is offered daily and described as “an energy-infused meditation experience that invites participants to find true inner peace while cocooned in suspended silk hammocks.”
In a media statement shared at the launch of the new spa, Luisa Anderson, regional spa director at Four Seasons Asia Pacific, shared, “There are few places in Bali where the unseen energies are as powerful as here in the Ayung River basin. It has been such a privilege to connect to these energies during this relaunch, not only through the ritualistic elements of many of the treatments but also through the sensitivities of the architecture, intent, and spiritual practices.”
She added, “By integrating such ancient wisdom with cutting-edge well-being practices, the Sacred River Spa truly flows into a new era of holistic care.
