A divine touch

Are you in search of a Balinese healer? Head to Mandapa, a Ritz-carlton Reserve to experience the wisdom of healing tradition.

Ubud’s healing quality can be attributed to the fact that its mere name means ‘ubad’ or medicine in Balinese. For centuries, the mighty Ayung River that runs through Ubud has fuelled a civilisation. It gave birth to the wisdom of cultivating terraced rice fields as well as making the most out of the abundant plants and herbs. After all, the healing quality of nature is an ancient powerful knowledge that has been passed from a generation of healers to the next. Therefore, it is not a surprise that Mandapa Spa at Mandapa, a Ritz-carlton Reserve derives its wellness offering from it.

Situated along the peaceful banks of the Ayung River, the resort is surrounded by nature. The vibrant sound of the flowing water and its enigmatic energy can be heard and felt from the spa’s riverfront location. Discover comprehensive wellness and lifestyle programmes that suit you within its secluded treatment rooms, vitality pool, saunas, fitness centre, and yoga studio - where you can enhance your wellbeing through bodywork therapies, natural healing traditions, and energy healing.

Mandapa Spa works with gifted local healers, allowing its guests to experience the Balinese healing touch. Within a 60- to 120-minute session, one of the seven healers will assist you in their own respective methods. There is an intuitive blind healer, Ketut Mursi who is gifted with intuitive awareness and touch, giving her the ability to identify your emotional and physical issues; Pak Ketut who will do wonders to your blocked energy through Pranic Acupuncture Healing; and Pak Gede who heals with his Prana Healing full-body massage technique.
