(BALI, INDONESIA – 23 April 2026) – As families and discerning travellers begin planning their upcoming school and summer holidays, Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts, unveils a thoughtfully curated collection of immersive experiences that position the resort as one of Bali's most compelling luxury destinations.
Perched atop the dramatic limestone cliffs of Ungasan - Bali's southernmost tip, where the land falls away to reveal sweeping vistas across the Indian Ocean and the island's most celebrated shoreline below - Umana Bali offers a rare combination of ultra-luxurious all-villa privacy, cultural authenticity, and meaningful connection, making it the ideal escape for multi-generational families and experience-led travellers.
At Umana Bali, the spirit of Tri Hita Karana, encompassing the pillars of Parahyangan (relationship with the divine), Pawongan (relationship with people), and Palemahan (relationship with nature) is woven into every experience offered.
Some of the signature experiences the resort offers include learning to dance behind a sacred mask, consulting a Balinese astrologer, making a kite with a master builder, walking through ancient villages, marking a birthday with a sacred fire ritual, and soaring over a volcano by helicopter. Your personal Curator is able to arrange any of these experiences and more, according to your needs.
Families can step into the world of a Balinese dancer through Behind the Mask, an intimate encounter where guests enter the world of the dancer - witnessing the sacred rituals and meticulous preparations leading up to a private performance, gaining insight into the philosophy behind Balinese dance, and learning its graceful basic movements before the performance begins.
For those seeking a deeper connection with Bali's spiritual heritage, Unlocking Mysteries offers a profound and deeply personal consultation with a revered local spiritual leader, delving into the ancient wisdom of numerology and astrology to shed light on a guest's past life, present circumstances, and the path ahead.
The Village Walk takes guests on a 6km morning excursion through the winding lanes of Ungasan village, visiting three local temples, wandering through a bustling morning market alive with colour and aroma, and stepping inside a traditional Balinese home to discover the philosophy and architecture behind its design, concluding with freshly brewed local coffee and nasi jinggo, a signature Balinese dish.
In Bali, birthdays are not simply marked by the passing of another year, they are experienced as moments of profound spiritual renewal. Rooted in the ancient rhythms of the 210-day Balinese Pawukon calendar, the Balinese Otonan Ceremony has been observed for centuries as a personal rite of purification and reawakening. At its heart is the linting - a sacred fire ring that replaces the conventional birthday candle with something far more elemental. In this intimate 60-minute ritual, guided by sacred offerings, incense, and holy water, guests are invited into a tradition that understands celebration as an act of coming home to yourself.
For those seeking spiritual renewal beyond Bali's ceremonial calendar, the Soul Blessing is a sacred Balinese ritual rooted in ceremonial tradition. Beginning with a short journey from the resort to Batu Pageh Temple, guests ascend the temple steps before taking part in a purification ritual with holy water, mantras, and prayer to cleanse, protect, and restore spiritual balance. The experience offers a deeply personal moment of stillness and reconnection with Bali's spiritual heritage.
For the adventurous, Soar & Savor launches from the Fly Bali helipad, a mere three-minute drive from the resort, and charts an aerial course over the sacred Mount Batur's volcanic peak, ancient temples, iconic rice terraces, and the panoramic southern beaches, before landing to a bespoke BBQ feast or an elegant four-course dinner at Oliverra, prepared by Umana Bali's culinary team.
At the resort's Lohma Spa, wellness experiences incorporate ancient Balinese healing traditions. Two treatments speak most directly to this heritage. The Traditional Balinese Boreh is not a scrub but a warming herbal body mask, blended from ginger, clove, nutmeg, and turmeric - a time-honoured remedy long used in Balinese homes to stimulate circulation, ease cold sensations, and restore comfort to the body. Closely connected to the spirit of Lohma, meaning sweet medicine of life, it reflects the enduring wisdom of using nature's ingredients to nurture, protect, and heal. Paired beautifully with the Indigenous Massage, which draws on generations of Balinese bodywork, combining acupressure, urut, thumb pressure, kneading, and palm movements to release tension, improve circulation, and restore balance, the two together create a restorative journey that honours Bali's ancient herbal healing traditions in a way that feels both authentic and deeply grounding.
Guests can further deepen their wellbeing through daily yoga and guided meditation, Holotropic Breathwork sessions, the therapeutic vibrations of crystal and Tibetan sound bowls, cold water immersion and the mesmerising Kecak Dance performed at sunset on Melasti Beach - just metres from the resort.
An All-Villa Clifftop Retreat
Commanding one of Bali's most dramatic positions, at the southernmost tip of the island, high above its finest Melasti Beach, Umana Bali's 72 all-pool villas set a new standard for family luxury.
