Integrative wellbeing rooted in place
Fivelements
“Fivelements was ahead of its time when it opened in Bali nearly 20 years ago, bringing together nature, traditional healing and a deeply human approach to wellbeing. To see that original vision now growing into something much bigger is incredibly exciting – and we are proud to be part of the new Fivelements journey as it evolves far beyond Bali.” (Indigo8)
Founded in Bali in 2007, Fivelements is expanding from a pioneering retreat into GOCO Hospitality’s first wellness hospitality retreat. Its approach combines integrative wellbeing, longevity science and ancestral wisdom across a growing collection of destinations.
The original Ubud retreat remains the foundation, with plant-forward cuisine, traditional healing, organic cultivation and community connections at its heart. The original Ubud retreat remains open throughout a phased transformation due for completion in 2028. New destinations include Koh Samui in 2027, Switzerland in 2029 and Montenegro in 2030, each taking its cues from local landscape, culture and traditions.
Fivelements’ philosophy extends beyond individual wellbeing to the health of the places and communities around it. In Bali, this includes organic farming, support for local education and village waste management, as well as helping farmers establish coffee plantations. Across the portfolio, the same commitment to place and community guides how each destination is developed and operated.
