Revivo Wellness Resort
Nusa Dua, Denpasar & South Bali, Indonesia
If you're looking to recharge both body and soul, Revivo is a revelation. This chic spa hotel set in 2.5 hectares of deeply relaxing grounds and gardens on Nusa Dua peninsula is one of the best wellness retreats in Bali. The design mixes traditional Balinese architecture with a contemporary minimalist feel - which means you can relax in style. The large airy suites have colonial four-posters, thatched ceilings, sunken baths and walk-in showers; villas have outdoor showers, and some have private pools. Elsewhere, a bar overlooking the pool terrace, a restaurant for delicious Balinese food, and even a shuttle bus to whizz you down to the beach.
Although we have yet to visit, Revivo exists ‘to soothe the spirit, rejuvenate the body and enrich the mind’ and the superb wellness programmes seem to do just that. There are several to choose from: detox, de-stress, healthy living, mindfulness for professionals and emotional balance among others. Each lasts two days and includes a range of yoga, meditation, spa treatments and ancient Balinese therapies. Your day starts with three healing ‘shots,’ while the food – super tasty and seriously healthy – is part of the programme. There’s no flimflam here, just total excellence delivered by fantastic staff.

Our top tips
Lots of tourists hire mopeds and don’t wear helmets as it’s not required by law. Don’t join them. Either wear a helmet and dress for the occasion – shorts and T-shirts offer no protection – or use a taxi.
