Six Senses Uluwatu, Bali

When Six Senses—arguably among the most wellness-focused hotel brands on earth—built this resort on Pecatu, they knew exactly what they were doing. The area is near Pura Uluwatu, a Balinese sea temple built in the 11th century on these same teetering cliffs. When your neighbor is that transcendent, you must aim for the divine yourself. Enter: Six Senses Uluwatu’s temple-like architecture, which infuses even the most basic room option (and note: nothing is basic about it) with careful reverence. Sure, there are all the trappings of modern life—including AC, 49-inch interactive TVs, and unlimited Wifi—but there are also soaring ceilings, spa-like soaking tubs and al fresco verandas overlooking a vast expanse of Indian Ocean. In other words? Wellness, achieved.

A spiritually-inspired resort perched on a jaw-dropping seafront clifftop.

Hands off. Every guest has a personal Guest Experience Manager to see to your every whim, including 24-hour in-villa room service.

Six Senses is fiercely committed to sustainability, from purifying and bottling its own water on the premises to hiring a majority of local hosts (40% are from Pecatu itself). You’re green at home, so why give it up on vacation?

After your ritual with a Balinese healer in the spa—where you started with a guided meditation, delved into sanity-saving acupressure, had a Balinese massage and finished with an Avocado body polish—you felt all six senses reborn anew.
