Ayodya Resort Bali is proud to announce the opening of its spectacular new spa, Ayodya Spa by Mandara. The spa covers 1800 square meters and comprises four Spa Villas designed for couples—complete with steam rooms and sunken bathtubs—as well as thirteen single Treatment Rooms, four of which boast rain showers, a Recovery Room & Library, a Manicure & Pedicure Room, a Reflexology Room, and a Reception Lounge.

Embracing the four elements of fire, earth, wind and water, Ayodya Spa by Mandara invites guests to ‘Experience the Senses’. The contemporary design is exciting, eclectic and earthy, honoring the environment and touching on the traditional, while also retaining the very best elements of Balinese artistry. The style is sensual and romantic. Guests will be greeted by a myriad of textures, color and symbolism, before embarking on a journey of rebirth and rejuvenation, with small offerings to their well-being thoughtfully added along the way. The environmental concept, meanwhile, engages with nature, reassesses the use of both energy and resources, and is dedicated to the application of local materials.

No expense has been spared in the creation of this luxurious haven of serenity. Expect hand blown glass, Balinese artwork, stone carvings, water features, and indigenous materials ranging from ‘Sukabumi’ stone from Java to ‘Batu Boka’ stone from Lombok, glazed volcanic lava stone and stacked slate from Bali to recycled ironwood from Kalimantan.

The Spa is managed by Mandara—a company that was founded in Asia and has since grown to become the world’s leading luxury spa operator with over sixty spas in resort properties around the world, including four in Bali. It promises to deliver an exceptional experience of pampering, wellness and rejuvenation with a spa menu flavored by a mixture of cultures and traditions. The sense of ritual and devotion to these cultures is maintained, even nurtured, so that the treatments reflect the beauty, grace and refinement of the ancient times from which they evolved.
