Wellbeing does not always require a complicated itinerary. Sometimes it begins with a morning in the garden, a little movement, a nourishing meal and the freedom to spend an afternoon exactly as you wish.
At Balquisse Heritage Hotel in Jimbaran, the experience is shaped by Indonesian hospitality, natural surroundings and the pleasure of giving time back to yourself.
Paths wind through the garden, past frangipani and carved timber to verandas bright with sun. A warm breeze carries the scent of traditional incense. Here, time can be shaped around water, The Shaba Spa, meals at Saybah Restaurant and evenings among the trees.
Water holds deep significance in Balinese Hindu culture. Melukat, a sacred purification ritual, is practised with prayer and holy water under appropriate spiritual guidance. It is a living religious tradition, deserving of respect and careful understanding. For guests interested in learning more, our team can share information about available experiences and appropriate arrangements.
A treatment at The Shaba Spa offers an opportunity to enjoy the attentive traditions of Balinese bodywork. Warm oils, considered touch and a calm setting make time for rest feel like a pleasure in itself. Ask for the current treatment menu, including options for couples.
Your treatment can sit within a wider day, whether you intend it to be full or quiet. If you would like to fit a treatment around your plans, please ask our team about the times available, and about the current treatment menu. After a treatment, there may still be time for afternoon tea in the gardens or a swim in the late sunshine, with dinner at Saybah Restaurant to follow once evening arrives.
At The Shaba Shala, daily yoga takes place in a building made from recycled timber and surrounded by lemongrass. The classes offer a welcome beginning to the day, whether you are a regular practitioner or exploring a gentler routine while travelling.
The Shaba Shala is also home to curated wellbeing experiences. Campuhan, our holistic retreat, brings together practices and moments of reflection within the distinctive surroundings of Balquisse Heritage Hotel. Please enquire about future dates and programmes.
Within the gardens of Balquisse Heritage Hotel, the pools are framed by tropical foliage. Rooms face the greenery, so the garden and its daylight become part of the everyday view. Some rooms also have generous space for bathing.
Beyond the gardens, Jimbaran meets the sea. A vintage Volkswagen or Jeep shuttle is offered to Jimbaran Beach and back. When the sea is calm, the bay invites a swim. Conditions change, though, so it is always wise to ask for local guidance before you go in.
Wellbeing at Balquisse Heritage Hotel is an invitation to enjoy the pleasures of time: a morning in the garden, a nourishing meal, an afternoon beside the pool and the freedom to follow your own rhythm.
There is no need to fill every hour. Read, swim, explore or simply enjoy the gardens. The most memorable holidays often make room for all of these things.
Breakfast is offered each morning, and Saybah Restaurant sits within the gardens, so the first meal of the day is taken among the greenery. Later, afternoon tea is offered as the light begins to soften over the grounds. Each meal is there to be savoured at your own pace. Sunset cocktails and other extras may carry a separate charge. Dinner at Saybah Restaurant carries the evening on through the gardens, and our team can share the current menu and confirm the details of your own stay, including how your rate is arranged. For an evening with a sense of occasion, the Indonesian rijsttafel, a generous tradition of shared dining, can be arranged in advance.
Between meals and treatments, the rooms offer somewhere still to come back to, and our team would be glad to suggest one that suits the way you like to spend your time. Zohra Boukhari’s collected interiors bring carved timber, antique furniture and handwoven textiles into rooms of individual character, among them the Javanese gladak teak houses Sangon and Sangitani, dismantled in Java and reassembled in Jimbaran. Some rooms open towards garden terraces, a pleasant spot to sit outdoors.
As darkness falls, a bonfire is lit each night. On Thursdays, Balinese dance is offered, a moment to appreciate one of the island’s living artistic traditions with attention and respect. On Sundays, movie night brings a film outdoors under the night sky. Each is there to enjoy as you wish. You might equally spend the evening over dinner at Saybah Restaurant, or with a book in the quiet of your room. Arrangements may change, so please check the current evening programme with our team.
