Spirit Seekers: A Mystical Journey Through Bali with Aria

Touch down in Bali and feel the island’s warm embrace as you journey from Ngurah Rai International Airport to the lush, spiritual enclave of Ubud. After settling into your hotel, unwind and let the anticipation build. As evening falls, gather for a magical welcome dinner at Lotus Café Ubud, a beloved spot renowned for its serene lotus pond views and traditional Balinese entertainment. This first taste of Ubud’s vibrant culture and artistry sets the tone for a week of discovery and connection.

Begin your day with a morning workshop with your oracle reader. After breakfast, venture into the mystical Ubud Monkey Forest, a sacred sanctuary where ancient temples nestle beneath towering banyan trees and curious macaques roam freely. This forest is not just a wildlife haven but a spiritual site, believed to protect the area and maintain harmony between humans and nature. After lunch at a local restaurant, enjoy free time to explore Ubud’s artisan shops or relax before a restful evening.

Savor a final Ubud breakfast before heading north to the renowned Mason Elephant Park. Here, you’ll meet rescued Sumatran elephants in a lush, ethical sanctuary — an inspiring encounter that highlights Bali’s commitment to wildlife conservation. Enjoy lunch surrounded by these gentle giants, then transfer to the chic coastal town of Seminyak. After check-in, unwind and soak in the new energy of this vibrant beachside haven.

Set out early for a day of adventure as you cruise by fast boat to Nusa Penida, Bali’s wild and breathtaking neighbor. Explore the island’s west coast, marveling at natural wonders like Broken Beach’s dramatic archway, the turquoise infinity pools of Angel’s Billabong, and the iconic T-Rex-shaped Kelingking Cliff. Crystal Bay’s sparkling waters invite you to relax or take a dip. Lunch on the island offers a taste of local flavors before you return to Seminyak, memories of Nusa Penida’s raw beauty lingering long after sunset.

Today, immerse yourself in Bali’s spiritual traditions with a purification ceremony at Petirtan Ki Pasung Grigis and the mystical Twin Temple. These sacred water temples are revered for their cleansing rituals, believed to purify the soul and bring blessings. Continue your journey north to the Handara Iconic Gate, a striking Balinese split gateway framed by misty mountains — a favorite photo spot and a symbol of passage into new experiences. After a local lunch, return to Seminyak for an evening of reflection and relaxation.

Enjoy a leisurely morning before transferring to Sense Spa at La Joya Biu Biu Resort, perched on Bali’s dramatic southern cliffs. Indulge in a rejuvenating series of spa treatments, including a traditional body scrub, Balinese massage, and facial — each rooted in ancient healing practices. Lunch is served with panoramic ocean views, offering nourishment for body and soul. As evening arrives, gather for a seafood feast on Jimbaran Bay’s golden sands, accompanied by a mesmerizing Balinese dance performance under the stars.

Savor your final Balinese breakfast and take a moment to reflect on a week of wellness, spiritual growth, and cultural immersion. Private transfers return you to Ngurah Rai International Airport, carrying home not just souvenirs, but a renewed sense of self and connection to Bali’s magic.
