Bali, with its serene beaches, lush landscapes, and deep-rooted spiritual culture, has long been the go-to destination for those seeking wellness and relaxation. The island offers a unique blend of natural beauty and holistic practices that cater to rejuvenating the mind, body, and soul. This paradisiacal setting provides the perfect backdrop for unwinding, disconnecting from the hustle of daily life, and reconnecting with oneself. A modern landmark and home to one of Bali’s most bustling beach clubs—Potato Head Beach Club—we had the opportunity to spend a full day of rejuvenation and healing at Desa Potato Head.
A Wellness Day at Desa Potato Head
Our day began bright and early at 7 a.m. with the Serenity Tuesday workshop. Set atop the property’s rooftop at the Sunset Park pool bar, the experience was nothing short of magical. As the first rays of sunlight bathed the area in a golden glow, we engaged in a 45-minute grounding meditation. The gentle breeze and distant sound of waves created an atmosphere of calm and tranquility. The session was designed to harmonise our being, cultivating a deep sense of peace and renewal. It felt as though the world had paused, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment. By the end, I was left with a profound sense of serenity that lingered long after the session ended.
Light Sound Therapy
Later in the day, we delved into Light Sound Therapy, a treatment that truly pushed the boundaries of traditional wellness practices. This experience, which lies at the intersection of science, art, and spirituality, required an open mind to fully appreciate its depth. It took me about 30 minutes to acclimatize and begin to feel the effects. As I lay on the custom-made water bed, the synchronized vibrations, light frequencies, and sound began to work in harmony. Slowly, I entered a deeper state of relaxation, one that I had never experienced before. Would I try it again? Absolutely.
Jamu Making
We then moved on to the jamu-making workshop—a delightful blend of education and hands-on experience. Learning about the history and health benefits of this traditional Indonesian herbal drink was fascinating. We crafted our own jamu from scratch, and the process was both fun and enlightening. It was a reminder of how nature provides the best remedies for our well-being. Also a reminder that we shouldn’t just treat and pamper the outside, but also take deep care of whats inside our bodies too.

To conclude our wellness journey, we visited the Desa Spa for their signature facial treatment. The deep-cleansing process, combined with a tendon face massage, left my skin feeling rejuvenated and my muscles toned. It was the perfect ending to a day filled with self-care and relaxation.
In reflection, this day at Desa Potato Head was the much-needed reset I had been craving. The combination of mindful practices, innovative therapies, and traditional wellness techniques made it clear that Desa Potato Head is one of the ultimate destination for those seeking to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit in Bali.
