Make Room for a Little Time Away

‘There is more to life than increasing its speed.’ – Mahatma Gandhi

A Little Space Before the Year Ends

There is something about the final months of the year that can suddenly make time feel very full. Plans to finish. Places to be. Celebrations to organise. Invitations and messages to answer. Lists that somehow seem to grow rather than get shorter. Before you know it, the calendar is filling up, and sometimes, a few days away from all of it can be exactly what we need.

Here in East Bali, those days can begin with the first light of morning stretching across the tropical sea, an oceanfront yoga class, and a long breakfast with nowhere else to be. 

It can be wonderfully restorative to have the freedom to let the day unfold around you. Your time might be filled with exploring the underwater world, snorkelling straight from the shore, perhaps a massage, a swim in the pool, or maybe simply sitting in the shade of the palm trees, leaving plenty of empty space for doing very little at all. 

As we move toward the end of 2026, you may still have a little space to make time for yourself. A few days to step away from the usual routine, reconnect with what makes you feel good, and return home feeling like you have had time to fully exhale.

Treat Yourself Well

At Six Elements Spa, taking time for yourself is part of the experience. Inspired by the six elements of nature- air, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water- our treatments combine traditional Balinese techniques with natural ingredients to leave you feeling cared for from head to toe, with locally made natural products offering another small connection to the island we call home.

One treatment we especially love at this time of year is our Air Element Signature Treatment. Like all our spa experiences, it begins with a welcome drink, an aromatic foot bath, and a refreshing cool towel for your hands and face to settle you in. Then comes a traditional Javanese-style massage, using slow, rhythmic movements to ease tension, encourage deep relaxation, and revitalize the body.

This massage is followed by a Mandi Lulur scrub and body milk mask to leave your skin feeling renewed, refreshed, and nourished. This luxurious, traditional exfoliating ritual originated in the royal palaces of Central Java, and the name comes from the word ‘Mandi,’ meaning bath, and ‘Lulur,’ which refers to flowers. 

Traditionally reserved for Javanese princesses, the treatment gently exfoliates, purifies, and softens the skin. Today, it remains a beautiful example of Indonesia’s rich traditions of natural body care, and it will leave you feeling like royalty.

When was the last time you gave yourself an afternoon with nowhere else you needed to be? Sometimes, taking care of yourself can be as simple as making the space for it. A massage after a morning in the water. An unhurried afternoon at the spa. A little time to let your body catch up with you and truly sink into that holiday feeling.

Small Choices. A Healthier Ocean.

When your home is beside the sea, caring for the ocean isn’t something that happens once a year. It becomes part of everyday life.

At Siddhartha, that has shaped many of the choices we make across the resort. We’ve minimized single-use plastic from the very beginning, with complimentary drinking-water refill stations throughout the property so guests can refill their own bottles. We separate and recycle waste, compost food and garden scraps, and support local producers wherever we can. In our bungalows, you’ll find natural bathroom amenities made here in Bali, and on our menu, you’ll find our daily fish specials that help support fishermen from the surrounding area while bringing the freshest, highest-quality ingredients to your plate.

These may seem like small things individually. But sustainability is often built from exactly that: a collection of everyday decisions made consistently over time.

Just off our shore, the Kubu Marine Park and our house reef are perhaps the most visible expression of why these choices matter. Over the years, we’ve slowly planted an extensive garden of discarded man-made structures to support the existing corals so they can expand and grow. The protected reef has become a thriving habitat for corals, reef fish, and countless smaller creatures, creating an underwater world that we are fortunate to experience every day.

The conversations about ocean plastic taking place around the world for November’s Oceans of Plastic Awareness Day offer a moment to pause and think about the relationship between our everyday choices and the health of our seas. This initiative encourages people to consider the impact of plastic pollution and the practical steps we can all take to reduce it. 

For us, that conversation feels especially close to home, because when you spend your days surrounded by coral reefs, tropical fish, and the endless blue of the Bali Sea, protecting it all isn’t an abstract idea. You can see what is at stake.

Protecting the oceans is rarely about one grand gesture. More often, it is the accumulation of many smaller choices, made again and again.

STAY LONGER | Pay Less – 4-Night Stay

Have a little more time? Extend Your Stay with Us & Save 10%

Some of the best parts of a Bali holiday aren’t found on an itinerary. They’re the extra morning you spend lingering over breakfast, the unplanned conversation over a tropical drink, the relaxed afternoon you decide to stay by the pool instead of heading out, or the second chance to explore a dive site you loved.

With our Stay Longer offer, you’ll receive 10% off when you book four or more consecutive nights, giving you the freedom to experience more of East Bali without trying to fit everything into a short stay. Leave room for spontaneous adventures, quiet moments, and the simple pleasure of having another day ahead of you.

Rates start from €340 for four nights in a private bungalow, including daily breakfast and oceanfront yoga.

For more details please visit our website here. Valid for stays through April 30, 2027

EXPLORE | Diving Bali – 7-Night Stay


There is an entire world waiting beneath the surface of East Bali, and no two dives are ever the same. Follow coral-covered walls, explore historic wrecks now alive with marine life, search the black volcanic sands for tiny macro treasures, or simply drift above the reef and see what catches your eye.

Our seven-night Explore package gives you the time to discover this underwater playground and to enjoy plenty of opportunities to recharge between adventures. With six local dives and full equipment included, as well as return airport transfers and two Balinese massages, everything is taken care of so you can focus on savouring every minute of the experience, from your first bubbles of the morning to the lazy afternoon back at the resort as you relax by the infinity pool.

Starting from €930, this package includes a seven-night stay, return airport transfers, six local dives with full dive equipment, two Balinese massages per booking, daily breakfast, and complimentary yoga classes.

Get all the details here. Valid for stays through April 30, 2027

Wherever the rest of this year takes you, we hope there is a little space in it for the things that restore you. And if that brings you to East Bali, we’ll be very happy to welcome you here, whether it’s your first time discovering us or you’re an old friend making your way back.

Warmly,

Your Siddhartha Oceanfront Resort & Spa Team
