eqUILIBRIA SEMINYAK

I spent two blissful nights at eqUILIBRIA Seminyak during a long-haul journey from France to Australia (with stops in Dubai and Bali), and it was the perfect transit accommodation. After approximately six hours in the air, a three‑hour layover in Dubai, and then a ten‑hour flight to Bali, I was feeling thoroughly exhausted—and eqUILIBRIA was exactly what I needed to reset. From the moment I arrived, the property’s attention to wellness and relaxation immediately stood out. I started with a workout in the complimentary fitness centre, then enjoyed a refreshingly rejuvenating 50-minute spa treatment, followed by room service and some time lounging poolside to absorb the Bali sun and vitamin D —just what the Diary of a CEO Steven Bartlett referenced, channeling that Vitamin D reset Dr. Seheult discussed in his wellness interview. Everything was excellently curated for recovery and balance. Rooms at eqUILIBRIA were immaculate. Despite the property being built in 2011, every corner looked brand‑new—which truly speaks to the quality of maintenance and care. My villa (309) felt serene and luxurious, with top-tier amenities like blackout curtains, Netflix, iPad/iPod docking, minibar, and a private bathroom with rainfall shower and deep soaking tub. Too bad my wife didn’t travel with me! Next time! Service here deserves special mention. The staff are multilingual and attentive—from express check‑in and concierge service to daily housekeeping, butler service, room service, and welcome drinks & snacks on arrival—all seamlessly integrated into a truly relaxing guest experience. Airport transfers are available but I went with good old trusted Klook and Grab apps. Location-wise, the property is ideally situated: just a 5-minute walk to Jalan Kayu Aya and Seminyak Square, where restaurants, shopping, cafés, and nightlife converge—offering both convenience and quiet when needed. If I had stayed longer, I would have happily spent my days on-site—with access to bicycle hire, a serene infinity pool, spa treatments, and complimentary cooking classes. But for my short one-night/ two- day transit break, this stay was restorative heaven. It felt like a retreat purpose-built for travelers in need of downtime—but perfectly placed for anyone wanting a taste of Seminyak’s action. I can’t recommend it highly enough—especially if like me, you need a comfortable reboot mid‑trip.
