A new resort nestled in the verdant valleys of Bali’s Ubud, Kappa Senses is a wellness destination with a difference.

They say no trip to Bali is complete without a visit to the island’s spiritual heartland, Ubud, and it’s here, among the deep river valleys and steep rice terraces, that Kappa Senses has opened.

Boasting 76 opulent suites and villas, set amidst an Eden-like jungle ten minutes from the centre of Ubud, Kappa Senses is the definition of a wild escape. The interior designs draw from the rich tapestry of Balinese culture, with carvings depicting scenes from the ancient Sanskrit epic Ramayana, and surroundings influenced by the harmony-based philosophies of traditional architecture, all of which are juxtaposed by state-of-the-art facilities and modern approaches to wellness.

The resort’s restaurants include Kokokan, serving the best Indonesian and Western dishes prepared using contemporary techniques and equipment; Kelapa, the zen eatery by the main swimming pool providing all-day favourites as well as Mediterranean flair come evening; and Kepuh, enticing guests with the diverse and fascinating cuisine of the Javanese empire of Majapahit.

Be sure to leave time for a spot of pampering at the OmTara Spa by Clarins, home to seven treatment rooms, beauty and hair salons, vitality pools, as well as a gym, steam room, sauna, and Vichy shower. Treatments combine the effectiveness of the “Clarins Touch” – an exclusive high-performance manual massage – with the power of high-purity plant extracts and essential oils for an exquisite sensorial experience.
