TRAVEL SUMMARY
DAY 1 – 4: UBUD (BALI) (3 nights)
Ubud is a cultural, artistic, and charming small town. Ubud means medicine in Indonesian. It has become Bali’s center to practice yoga, eat healthy food, recharge and rejuvenate amid Ubud’s rice paddies.

The Gili islands have something to make every traveller happy. After travelling the world for 6 years, I’ve decided to call this island home. On this eco- island, no motorised vehicles are allowed. The island is most famous because it’s crawling with marine life. Gili is the ideal place for snorkelling, scuba diving and beach parties.

The SlowSpa’s architecture is inspired by the round curves of the island, making you think of a bamboo cathedral. The central window adds air and light to the whole ensemble with gentle curves.
The peaceful feeling and the silence are supporting the architecture that’s built around the natural elements, thus recalling Slow’s philosophy.
