The second leg of our Luxuria Lifestyle team Indonesia trip was another 5-star experience at Gdas Ubud Bali and was nothing short of extraordinary, offering a blend of sublime comfort, wellness, and an atmosphere of pure peace. Nestled in the heart of Ubud, this eco-luxury retreat truly exceeded all expectations, especially with its world-class spa treatments stunning surroundings and views over the paddy fields.

Our Villa: A Haven of Luxury and Comfort

From the moment we arrived at GDAS Bali, it was clear that we were in for a remarkable experience, starting with a cleansing and blessing ceremony to remove any negative vibes.

The villa that we stayed in for two blissful nights, was simply breathtaking. Designed with a perfect combination of traditional Balinese architecture and modern luxury, it was the height of comfort. High ceilings, large impressive glass doors, a huge comfortable four-poster bed and natural materials create an airy, light-filled space that feels both chic and inviting. The koi carp were an exotic addition and greeted us with open mouths whenever they saw us.

The villa’s private terrace, and private pool overlooking lush tropical gardens, were the ideal spot for our post-dinner coffee, with soy milk of course. The interiors were equally impressive, with luxurious linens, and an exquisite bathroom featuring a deep soaking outdoor bath. Every detail, from the decor to the state-of-the-art amenities, was thoughtfully designed to ensure an exceptional stay.

A Spa Experience Like No Other

One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the 90-minute massage at the Arana Spa. Having experienced numerous spa treatments around the world, I can confidently say that this was, without a doubt, the best massage I’ve ever had. The moment I stepped into the spa, I was enveloped in a sense of calm, thanks to the soft lighting, soothing music, and the gentle aroma of essential oils.

The massage itself was an artful blend of traditional Balinese techniques and modern therapeutic practices. My therapist was highly skilled, applying just the right amount of pressure to melt away every ounce of tension and stress. It was a deeply relaxing experience, leaving me feeling completely rejuvenated. The spa’s serene setting, combined with the expert hands of the therapist, created a truly unforgettable experience.

Peaceful Ambience and Holistic Cuisine

The ambience at GDAS Bali is one of the most peaceful I’ve experienced. The retreat is surrounded by beautiful greenery and pretty water features, creating a peaceful atmosphere that promotes relaxation. Whether lounging by the pool on a daybed, meditating in the garden, or simply strolling through the property, there was a constant sense of calm with a connection to nature.

The retreat’s commitment to holistic well-being extends to its dining options as well. The Tangi Restaurant, an indoor and outdoor dining spot offers incredible dishes, healthy and delicious! The menu is carefully created with organic, locally sourced ingredients, offering a variety of dishes that cater to different dietary requirements. From nourishing smoothie bowls to exquisite plant-based meals, every dish was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Each meal was an opportunity to indulge in nutritious, flavourful cuisine.

Guests are offered a variety of activities and amenities, among the standout features is the newly introduced state-of-the-art gym, equipped with the latest fitness technology. In addition to the gym, the resort boasts a tranquil yoga area where guests can take daily yoga sessions or meditation classes.  The infinity pool, with its breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle and rice fields, provides the perfect spot to unwind.
