We’re taking our Wellness Wednesday series to Bali, Indonesia.
If there’s one way to kickstart the new year, it would be by booking a plane ticket to Bali, Indonesia. There’s nothing like embracing the slow living when you’re on the island. No matter how busy life gets, I’ll always make a point to pamper myself, whether it’s by booking a tropical holiday or a soothing massage to eliminate any stress knots.
Only this time, I decided to embrace both by exploring Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak. Nestled in the heart of Seminyak, the establishment taps into the flavours and cultures of Bali through its design and services. Upon entering the facility, the warm welcome from the friendly staff instantly brought a smile to my face—a perfect start before I enjoyed my relaxing massage.
Our experience at Sava Spa, Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak:
As they took me over to the Sava Spa, I was immediately captivated by the stunning beauty of its architecture, which embodies modern elegance. Before I was led to my massage room, I was given options by the friendly staff to pick a massage oil for a more personalised experience–I went for a relaxing oil.
Upon entering the peaceful sanctuary, the stunning surroundings transported me to a state of tranquillity. There are six couples’ massage rooms, each equipped with its own shower facility. As I changed into my robe, the therapist soaked my feet and explained the details of the Sava Balinese Signature treatment I was about to experience.
Using manual techniques, the 60-minute massage melted my tension away using palm pressure and stretching to ease any muscle tension and restore relaxation to my mind, body and soul. The experience was not only uplifting but also helped me feel grounded and excited for what was to come next.
After the massage, the therapist guided me to the waiting room, where I enjoyed a soothing cup of hot tea. Feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, I could immediately sense the stress lifting away as I stepped out of Sava Spa.

Unwind and have a feast at SugarSand
Feeling light as a feather, I took a brisk walk to the hotel’s vibrant beach restaurant, SugarSand. With a stunning view overlooking Seminyak Beach, the restaurant offers a dining experience that includes a blend of contemporary Japanese cuisine with Western dishes. Before embarking on my dinner plans, I opted to unwind at the beach bed by the pool in the outdoor area of the restaurant. Here, you can order light bites and drinks as you take in the view of Bali’s beautiful sunset.
Of course, after a relaxing day of indulgence, it was finally time for dinner. As I stepped through the threshold, I was immediately enveloped in the sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. The menu beckoned with tantalising possibilities, compelling me to explore its offerings like a treasure hunt for the senses. For starters, I chose the Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna and Ebi Tacos.
These dishes were a celebration of texture and flavour—light yet invigorating, the luscious marination and artful sauces create a symphony that set the stage for the evening ahead. For the main event, I opted for the Australian O’Connor Rib Eye, paired with Seabass adorned with burned herbs tomatoes, charred baby kailan, and a delectable shiso miso sauce. Each bite was a revelation—rich, robust, and bursting with flavours that danced on the palate. Together, these dishes didn’t just fill the belly; they enchanted the senses, transforming an ordinary dinner into an extraordinary feast.
For a sweet finish, I chose the Chocolate Bar. Every bite was filled with a perfect balance of sweetness and zest, thanks to the caramelized white chocolate, peach jam, and calamansi peach sorbet.
As I bid farewell to this tropical haven, a serene contentment washed over me. Every detail, from the exquisite dining to the inviting ambience, compels me for another adventure that awaits. I can hardly wait to revisit, to lose myself once again in the tasteful allure of Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak—a true sanctuary that captivates the soul and enchants the senses.
