Tucked away on the remote northeastern coast of Bali, Spa Village Resort Tembok is a sanctuary of peace and tranquillity, immersed in the gentle spirituality and age-old traditions of the Island of the Gods.
Fringed by volcanic, black sand beaches, YTL Hotel’s first Spa Village Resort takes spa getaways and holistic healing to a new level with this year’s range of talented specialists and practitioners under its Guest Artist Programme.
Now in its fifth year, the ever-evolving Guest Artist Programme focuses on bringing harmony to the physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing of the Resort’s guests through the Programme, which unites guests with time-tested techniques from around the world, demonstrated by experts who have perfected their craft.
From modern disciplines such as Kinesiology, to ancient healing philosophies such as yoga, and therapies based on science or focused solely on nature, each month brings forth a new set of wellness practitioners with diverse skills.
The month of May sees groundbreaking ‘Catalyst for Change’ Maree Thomas, who specialises in Life, Soul and Success Coaching; she herself is a testament to the success of her methods and will focus on the importance of inner awareness.
Come June, Personal Trainer Jess Cover is onboard, sharing her tips on nutrition and weight loss, alongside artist Cherie Murray Lee who will demonstrate freedom through artistic expression. July sees the addition of Shiatsu Master, Yutaka Homma and Kineseology specialist Esther Kivi.
The following months will continue to see an exciting line-up of passionate practitioners including aquassage – a therapeutic massage conducted in water, brain training and aromatherapy.
Returning to the Programme in October this year is world-renowned clairvoyant, Russian-born Diana Manilova. Initiated and recognised as a daughter of the sky by Mongolian shamans, Hindu sadhus and Tibetan rinpoches, Manilova imparts her wisdom by conducting spiritual life consultations and is also co-founder of the acclaimed Oracle Retreat, which Spa Village Resort Tembok, Bali is proud to host.
Some visiting guest artists come from as far afield as Bulgaria and Mexico; while others come from Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Practitioners will guide those that are looking to physically, mentally and spiritually rejuvenate by assessing their needs and taking them on a journey to find the best combination of treatments through the holistic philosophies from their own countries and the venerable ancient methods of the Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cultures.
Each practitioner is typically based at the Resort for one month, during which they give daily complimentary workshops; be it watercolour-painting, meditation, massage therapy or creative detoxification.
Resort guests may then choose to book a one-on-one consultation, allowing the practitioner to assess their individual goals and needs, guiding them to find the best combination of transformative exercises.
Making and sustaining lifestyle changes is a difficult process; for those on a transformational journey to achieve an effective wellness programme, or simply seeking to balance mind, body, and soul while on a therapeutic island getaway, the Guest Artist Programme serves as positive support through the process.
