REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort Nusa Dua Bali

A Masterclass in Personalized Restoration Revivo is more than a resort; it's a meticulously designed system for personal wellness and recalibration. The name means "to live again," and that's exactly how you feel. The villas are private sanctuaries, complete with their own pools and stunning bathrooms built over tranquil fish ponds. What sets Revivo apart is the seamless, personalized experience. From the pre-arrival consultation to the daily schedule of yoga, treatments, and workouts in the state-of-the-art Vitality Center, every detail is handled for you. The service is almost telepathic, the staff knows your name, your dietary needs, and your schedule, allowing you to completely let go. The food is clean, delicious, and perfectly aligned with your wellness goals. You leave not just rested, but genuinely restored.

I spent 4 days and 3 nights at this wellness retreat, and overall, it was a peaceful and nourishing experience — though there were some key areas that could be improved. The arrival was smooth and luxurious, with a comfortable airport pickup. Still, I feel the journey could have been more aligned with the retreat’s wellness spirit — something as simple as calming music or a short meditation could have made it more immersive. When I arrived, I had a basic wellness consultation and a Visiobody scan, which was used to tailor the program. As a dietitian specialising in holistic care, I found the consultation to be relatively surface-level. There wasn’t much diagnostic depth, and most of the guidance came from the scan results. One thing I truly appreciated was the organic, fresh, and beautifully prepared food. However, I wasn’t fully convinced about pairing juices and smoothies with solid meals — nutritionally, it didn’t always feel like the best combination for digestion or energy balance, especially for those with specific goals. While I chose the Mindfulness and Emotional Balance program (and noted that some weight loss would be welcome but not essential), I did feel that a lot of essential experiences had to be paid for separately. I paid extra for my private breathwork session, an additional facial, and Reiki healing — all of which were valuable — but for the price of the program, it felt like these should have been included. At other retreats I’ve attended, things like guided nature walks, longer yoga sessions (90 minutes), and spa experiences were part of the base package. Here, the overall structure felt more limited unless you opted to pay for extras, which was disappointing. That said, the absolute highlight was Sofia, who led my private breathwork and aerial yoga. Her knowledge, energy, and presence are exceptional. She radiates positivity and calm, and the breathwork session with her was genuinely transformative — one of the best wellness moments I’ve had. I also had a Reiki healing session with their in-house master, which was very grounding and calming. As part of my package, I had two massages — one of which, with Nila, was truly outstanding. It was one of the best massages I’ve experienced. On the other hand, the facial and body scrub were just average. The overall intensity of the retreat was quite low. While deeply restful, it lacked active options. I found myself lying down a lot, and would have appreciated more movement, especially since I did express an openness to gentle weight loss support. The final Visiobody scan showed a slight weight gain — which I questioned, as it was done post-breakfast instead of after the recommended fasting period. The retreat also includes red light (LED) therapy, which was calming, and makes use of various wellness technologies. An interesting and thoughtful addition was the nocturnal wellness element, which included things like a ritual detox bath or a chamomile tea in the evening — a lovely touch to wind down. In summary, the retreat is serene, well-kept, and ideal for those seeking stillness and gentle care. However, I do feel the base program should include more, especially given the pricing. While I left feeling restored, the standout moments were those I chose to invest extra in — especially the private breath work with Sofia and the healing reiki with their master. With my best wishes to their lovely team Sonam

Was really looking forward to this hotel as many friends raved about it. All around it's fine as a product marketed as wellness retreats, but lots of room for improvement for the price point it charges: 1. Property is much simpler and smaller than I thought, not good/bad, just different importance to different people. 2. I was first allocated to villa 3, which is closest to reception and restaurant, but compromises on thus noise levels. That villa is also quite dark given joglo roof, with noises from nearby Peninsula running events until 11pm, which affected ability to sleep. The bath is also outdoors, which practically it's harder to use at night due to bugs, and the overall outdoor area was poorly kept (grass barely cut, unruly leaves, bugs in bathtub). Once I got moved to villa 9, the overall upkeep was much better as it likely was a newer wing. Villa 3 also had a toilet that barely flushed, and cabinets that would fall apart when you opened the drawer doors underneath sink. 3. Same goes for the lack of polish in general pool and plunge pool areas - tend to be filled with bugs, especially in the latter, may I suggest at the least to put a basket of nets so guests can scoop out creepy crawlies before going into the plunge pools? Pool towels often smelled muggy (both by pool and in changing room). General pool chairs also saw loads of bug/bird related decrements, which made it a bit uncomfortable, even if you laid a pool tower to cover up (again for this price point...) 4. Had to nudge a few times for outstanding items to be resolved via Whatsapp/email with guest relations team, before arrival. Premise is to come to a site like this to relax, so I expected more seamless and thoughtful guest communications without adding extra work to us. What they were great at: 1. Delicious healthy food 2. Huge variety of wellness and beauty activities 3. PEMF treatment was so effective, it got rid of some of my chronic pain; Rebalance was also extremely powerful for relaxing the mind. 4. Due to only 22 rooms on campus, indeed it was very quiet and peaceful, which is true luxury! All around an OK stay but not quite worth its hype. A few years too old is how it felt.
