Four Seasons Resorts in Bali, specifically in Jimbaran and Sayan, provide a range of wellness activities and cultural experiences. The Four Seasons Bali at Jimbaran Bay, located near Ngurah Rai International Airport, offers 147 ocean-view villas with private plunge pools. Guests can enjoy running along the beach, with a jogging course guide available, and participate in various yoga classes, including Indonesian Bamboo Stretching, inspired by Pencak Silat. The resort is designed as a tropical garden, offering scenic views. The Four Seasons Bali at Sayan, adjacent to the Ayung River valley, features a unique main building with a lotus pond rooftop. It offers activities such as Ayung River rafting, classified as Grade 2–3 during the dry season April to October and Grade 4 during the rainy season November to March. Wellness programs at Sayan include Chakra and Anti-Gravity Yoga, as well as a Sacred Nap session in hammocks. Both resorts also offer cultural immersion, such as a "Can You Keep a Secret?" tour to a local Balinese village, where visitors can learn to make Canang Sari, traditional Balinese offerings. Travelers are advised not to share the village location on social media to preserve local traditions. Ngurah Rai International Airport is named after Indonesian independence war hero I Gusti Ngurah Rai. Canang Sari, small flower baskets, are ubiquitous in Bali as offerings to gods and expressions of gratitude, and travelers should avoid stepping on or moving them.
Must readCoordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that Bali is being considered as the location for the Indonesian International Financial Center PFII. The decision is based on the need for competitive regulations and a lifestyle attractive to global investors, similar to Dubai. While Bali already has the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone KEK to support investor health service needs, the PFII will be established in a separate special economic zone. The government aims for the PFII to attract global investment, drawing parallels to Singapore's financial center which manages approximately 5 trillion US dollars in investment funds. Airlangga highlighted that Indonesia has the opportunity to offer an alternative international financial center with a legal framework comparable to Singapore and Dubai. Discussions for the Draft Law on PFII are ongoing in the House of Representatives, and the government is preparing a Government Regulation as an implementing measure. Airlangga hopes all supporting regulations for the PFII will be finalized before August 16, 2026.
