Bali is where the first Revivo Wellness Resort, entirely dedicated to wellness retreats, opened in 2018. We have experienced it in preview.

If Bali is nicknamed the island of the gods, it is undoubtedly because of the number of places of worship that can be found there. This island must be deserved: from Paris, a twenty-hour flight is necessary before reaching this magical place where the cold does not exist. Once there, the diversity offers itself to the visitor: volcanoes, mountains, rice terraces, black sand beaches, hot springs, temples… It is in this environment, in Nusa Dua, in the south of the island, that the Revivo Wellness Resort is located, where we put our bags. An expert in healthy retreats, the facility offers guests the opportunity to discover how mental and emotional healing can help create beneficial life changes in many areas.
Revivo, named after the Latin word for “I will be reborn”, is a new high-end resort concept dedicated to well-being. Here in Bali, the first such facility opened in 2018; Four more will follow in Spain, France, Italy and Japan. Calm, luxury and serenity illustrate this space of plenitude where one comes in search of meaning or energy, in order to put the hustle and bustle of daily life in parenthesis. The 16 Balinese-inspired suites that make up the resort are set amidst lush greenery, fish ponds and water lilies. Formerly owned by the Aman Resort Group, they have been renovated to Revivo standards by architect Kerry Hill. Each has a four-poster bed draped in sails, a sitting area with a desk and daybed, a sunken bathtub and shower with a view of the garden, and outdoor dining facilities.
The establishment’s offering is based on a three-in-one “healthy” concept: Nutrio, the restaurant and lounge bar, Remissio, the holistic spa with traditional Balinese techniques, and Moveo, a fitness center with meditation and yoga spaces. Everything here is designed and set up to soothe and enrich the spirit while purifying the body. Between relaxation activities, treatments and holistic medicine, it is a real physical and mental spiritual journey that is proposed. Throughout the year, the establishment organizes a series of retreats around the “slow life” philosophy dedicated to sleep disorders. A fitness program to identify health and wellness goals is also offered, as well as an offering focused on the ketogenic diet.
Surrounded by the peaceful Bali National Golf Course and the Indian Ocean, the site also allows golfers to relax on the green while enjoying a tailor-made holistic experience.
