Located in Bali’s Ayung River valley, the retreat will be led by resident wellness mentor and former Buddhist nun Ibu Heny Ferawati.
The first programme begins on 23 May 2026 and is positioned as an immersive wellness experience rooted in Balinese spiritual traditions and mindfulness practices.
Silent Retreat Inspired By Bali’s Nyepi Tradition
The retreat draws inspiration from Bali’s annual Nyepi celebrations, the island’s sacred Day of Silence observed during the Balinese New Year.
Four Seasons said the programme extends the philosophy of silence beyond the one-day ritual into a longer immersive wellness journey focused on self-awareness and introspection.
To encourage complete disconnection from modern distractions, guest rooms will not include phones, televisions or Wi-Fi access.
Programme Includes Meditation, Yoga And Spa Rituals
The seven-day experience combines guided meditation sessions, Kundalini yoga, chakra balancing and spa treatments including crystal reiki therapy.
The programme also includes Sattvic cuisine, floating breakfasts, wellness rituals and mindfulness-focused experiences designed to encourage emotional clarity and relaxation.
Unlike more traditional strict silent retreats, participants will still be permitted to journal, attend guided sessions and join selected cultural excursions.
Retreat Led By Former Buddhist Nun
Ibu Heny Ferawati was ordained in Myanmar and specialises in Vipassana meditation, a practice centred on observational silence and deep introspection.
Vipassana retreats traditionally involve prolonged silence with restrictions on speaking, eye contact, gestures and external distractions.
The Four Seasons programme introduces a more accessible interpretation aimed at luxury wellness travellers and guests new to silent retreats.
Silent Retreats Growing Within Luxury Wellness Tourism
Luxury wellness retreats centred on mindfulness, digital detox and mental wellbeing have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the global wellness tourism market.
Hotels and resorts increasingly offer immersive wellness programmes responding to rising traveller demand for stress reduction, emotional healing and slower-paced travel experiences.
Four Seasons Highlights Emotional And Mental Benefits
According to Four Seasons regional spa director Luisa Anderson, silent retreats can help reduce anxiety, improve mental clarity and deepen emotional awareness.
She said removing constant external stimulation encourages participants to reconnect with themselves, nature and more meaningful forms of human connection.
Luxury Wellness Experience Starts From £7,192
The all-inclusive retreat package starts from £7,192 per person and includes six nights of accommodation, meals, wellness treatments, guided experiences and round-trip airport transfers.
The programme also includes a three-hour cultural excursion exploring local Balinese traditions and sacred sites.
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has become one of Asia’s leading luxury wellness destinations, combining high-end hospitality with spiritual and nature-focused experiences.
