Boutique Jungle Wellness
Hidden in the forested hills north of Ubud, Kayon Jungle Resort is one of Bali’s most distinctive wellness retreats, a sanctuary elevated above a lush river valley, designed for travellers who prefer calm, privacy and nature-centred luxury. This adults-only hideaway blends the stillness of the Balinese highlands with refined villa living, making it a standout choice for those seeking restorative experiences away from Bali’s busier coastal scenes.
It also forms a natural highlight within Luxury Spa Retreats’ bespoke wellness journeys in the Spa & Sanctuary Collection, where jungle healing, cultural insight and island tranquillity align.
A Setting Built for Stillness
Kayon Jungle sits in Bresela Village, surrounded by terraced foliage, bamboo groves and uninterrupted jungle canopy. Its elevated position above the Oos River Valley creates a sensation of being suspended between earth and sky. Mornings bring drifting mist; afternoons soften into warm tropical light.
The environment itself does much of the restoration, slow, quiet, vividly green, and aligns seamlessly with our privately curated itineraries through Ubud’s wellness corridor, where guests can combine time at Kayon with guided rituals, forest walks and mindful cultural immersion.
Villa Living in the Highlands
Accommodation ranges from generous suites to expansive private-pool villas carved into the hillside. Interiors follow a calm Balinese modernism: natural woods, soft neutral palettes, sculpted stone and open terraces framing the forest.
The most coveted category is the Pool Villa collection — each a self-contained sanctuary with outdoor decks, plunge pools and uninterrupted jungle views. For couples seeking deeper privacy, the Royal Pool Villas extend to 200m² and offer panoramic valley vistas.
These villa spaces pair beautifully with our Indonesia wellness routes, where time spent here is matched with visits to Balinese healers, traditional craft villages and serene riverside temples, allowing every day to flow with intention.
Serayu Spa – Rituals Shaped by Nature
Serayu Spa is the heart of the resort, a calm, water-lined space shaded by trees and softened by natural textures. Treatments draw from Balinese healing traditions: warm stone therapy, herbal body scrubs, rainforest oil rituals and deep-tension release.
Couples’ suites feature generous soaking tubs; single rooms feel cocooned and quiet. Daily yoga sessions, meditation and breathwork support guests settling into a slower rhythm.
For travellers designing a complete wellness journey, Serayu integrates beautifully with Luxury Spa Retreats’s wider Indonesian spa experiences from jungle steam houses and river-edge massages in Ubud to volcanic hot springs in north Bali or slow island days in Lombok and Sumba.
Three-Tier Infinity Pool – Kayon’s Signature View
The cascading three-tier infinity pool is the resort’s architectural centrepiece. Each level offers a different perspective over the valley, serene in the morning, golden and atmospheric at sunset. It’s a place to linger: long swims, unhurried lounging, and uninterrupted greenery.
For guests exploring our multi-day Spa & Sanctuary itineraries, this pool becomes an anchoring pause point between temple visits, soft adventure and guided wellness sessions.
Dining With a View
Kepitu Restaurant sits at the top of the resort, open-air and expansive, with sweeping canopy views. Dishes lean into modern Balinese flavours, fresh tropical ingredients and light, refined plates.
For relaxed afternoons, Wanna Jungle Pool & Bar offers cocktails and lighter dishes overlooking the valley.
Service throughout is warm and intuitive — the kind of hospitality that allows guests to feel unhurried and well cared for.
Why Kayon Jungle Works for Wellness-Led Travellers
