Following the recent expansion of its spa portfolio in Malaysia, YTL Hotels and Resorts has opened a residential spa retreat on the north-east coast of the Indonesian island of Bali.

Surrounded by a black sand coastline, the Spa Village Tembok is located in a secluded area, accessible by road from Denpasar Airport.

The spa concept, as in all YTL developments, has been designed to embrace the location’s indigenous philosophy and culture.

Treatments honour Balinese traditions, combining the therapeutic properties of local ingredients with the healing practices of the area in an environment designed around twin themes of recovery and self-discovery.

The retreat has a wide range of spa facilities, including an infinity pool, and offers tailor-made wellness programmes dedicated to healing, rejuvenation, wellness and spirituality.

The Tembok development has a total of 31 guest rooms, comprising 27 standard rooms, two suites and two private villas.
