Tanah Gajah, a resort by Hadiprana located near Ubud, Bali, has introduced a series of holistic wellness retreats aimed at promoting spiritual renewal, mental clarity, and physical vitality.

Launched in 2025, the retreats combine Balinese traditions with modern healing techniques across programmes lasting from two to five nights. Guests can expect activities that support holistic wellbeing, including a 90-minute Ayurvedic Abhyanga Massage, a 60-minute private yoga class, and a guided trek through nearby villages and rice fields. Daily breakfast and a healthy lunch or dinner at The Tempayan restaurant are included, along with villa accommodation. Cultural elements such as the Balinese Kitchen Culture Experience, where guests prepare dishes like Sate Lilit and Dadar Gulung, are also part of the stay, offering insight into local rituals and gratitude practices.

Situated near landmarks such as Goa Gajah and the Pura Penataran Sasih temple, Tanah Gajah offers a serene environment for reflection and personal growth.
