Four Ways The Sacred River Spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan Creates Transformative, Energy-Infused Experiences

Drawing on the dance between the visible and energetic worlds, The Sacred River Spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan - relaunched in November 2024 - is a haven of magic and meaning. From all-embracing natural surrounds to the use of pioneering BioGeometry, here are a few of the ways the spa infuses a sense of the sacred into its one-of-a-kind experiences.

1. Cocooned in nature’s embrace

As above, so below; as within, so without. From the moment of arrival, The Sacred River Spa promises a restoration of primal balance. Artfully redesigned to echo its natural surroundings, the spa is bordered by Bali's longest, widest and most revered river. The dappled light, verdant foliage and river sounds form the backdrop to healing rituals that draw on the energies and essence of water. Natural materials and calming colours invite deep reflection while artwork from Indonesian artists and ceramic masters offer a connection to Bali’s unique spiritual and natural heritage.

2. Drawing on Bali’s sacred elements

A deep reverence for Balinese culture is woven into life across the Resort, from pilgrim temple adventures to traditional Megibung dining experiences. At The Sacred River Spa, this respect for ancient knowledge includes the integration of Bali’s “sacred elements” - water (sejuk), sound (gending), and fire (teja) - within the new menu. Each treatment starts with the healing sounds of quartz crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz, the intonation of nature, for enhanced connection to the Earth’s rhythms. Six signature healing rituals include Tirta Ening - harnessing the healing power of Bali's revered water element through crystal-energised water and a flowing waterbed massage - and Batu Kali Riverstone Bathing Ritual, drawing on an age-old river bathing tradition and fiery fresh ginger in a Balinese massage to refresh, energise and revive.  

3. Harnessing the power of BioGeometry

BioGeometry is a groundbreaking science that uses the subtle energy principles of geometric forms to bring natural balance to living systems. Like The Sacred River Spa, the aim of BioGeometry is to balance and align energy systems to promote wellbeing and reduce environmental stress. At The Sacred River Spa, the power of BioGeometry is harnessed through treatments, products and even the symbol on the menu. The spa's Synthesis Organics products - plant-powered skincare and aromatherapy from Australia - draw on a universal centring energy known as BG3, discovered by Egyptian architect and scientist Dr Ibrahim Karim after 40 years of research. Synthesis Organics products are measured for BioGeometry energy qualities to ensure they harmonise on the physical, vital, mental, emotional and energetic levels - and boost the life force of anyone using them.

4. Sharing traditional wisdom for a modern world

Key to lasting transformation is finding ways to integrate healing into an often-stressful modern existence. That’s where The Sacred River Spa's resident Wellness Mentor Ibu Fera comes in. 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. Stressed out and rest-deprived? Don’t miss Fera’s daily Sacred Nap: an energy-infused meditation experience that invites participants to find true inner peace while cocooned in suspended silk hammocks.
