curated journeys
The Asiki experience is designed to be as slow or as spirited as you wish. Some guests never leave their sanctuary, choosing to soak in the silence and the stone tub. Others wish to connect deeply with the spiritual energy of Sebatu.
Below, we have curated a selection of rituals and adventures to help you disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself.
In-Sanctuary Rituals
Most of our guests find it difficult to leave their villa once they check in, and we completely understand why. We have designed The Asiki to be a destination in itself—a private haven where you can pause, breathe, and indulge without ever stepping foot outside. We take your relaxation seriously.
Below are curated rituals designed to bring the very best of Bali’s hospitality, culinary arts, and wellness traditions directly to your private pool deck.
Floating Breakfast
The ultimate Bali morning ritual. Enjoy your choice of American, Indonesian, or Continental breakfast served on a floating woven platter in your private infinity pool.
Candlelight Dinner
A romantic culinary journey served on your private pool deck under the stars. Includes a 3-course set menu (Western or Indonesian), flower decoration, and a bottle of local wine.
In-Villa Healing Massage
You don’t need to move. Our experienced therapists bring the spa to you. Enjoy a 60 or 90-minute traditional Balinese full-body massage using organic coconut oil, accompanied by the sounds of the rice fields.
the spirit of sebatu
For those who feel the urge to explore beyond the villa walls, Sebatu offers a side of Bali that few tourists get to see. We are located in the spiritual heart of the island, famous among locals for its holy water temples and purification sources.
These experiences are not just standard tours; they are opportunities to connect deeply with the living culture of our village. From learning the delicate art of Balinese offerings to washing away negative energy in the holy springs, let us guide you through the authentic soul of the highlands.
