The Ritz-Carlton, Bali Introduces Three Revolutionary, Healthy Meeting Options

NUSA DUA, BALI--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2016) - Inspired by the transformative beauty and spiritual renewal of the Indian Ocean, The Ritz-Carlton, Bali has infused the natural healing elements of its culture and idyllic Balinese surroundings into three new healthy meeting experiences -- Detox, Energy Boost, and Revitalizing Secret for the health and wellness conscious businessperson. While each program offers different wellness breaks and team building activities, they all result in a relaxed state of mind conducive to strengthened business relationships, and creating energetic, productive executive retreats.

Each healthy meeting option allows colleagues to connect on a new level through a carefully curated combination of a warm-up session, wellness break, several healthy meals, and a team-building exercise. Soaking in the healing powers of the sea, groups greet the new day with a refreshing, holistic experience on the Bali resort's pristine white beach through either meditation (Revitalizing Secret), yoga (Detox), or jogging (Energy Boost), depending on the program option chosen. A healthy, organic breakfast is enjoyed prior to all meeting sessions, which are set up for the following four to six hours, equipped with healthy food and juice options -- all of which have a low Glycemic Index (GI), such as carrot juice, 90% cocoa bars, and dry roasted walnuts, to aid in digestion.

Productive meeting sessions are punctuated with a wellness break, allowing groups to unwind with either a 15-minute massage (Detox), or guided stretching (Energy Boost and Revitalizing Secret) and enjoy a selection of infused waters on the Senses Lawn to promote a healthy, productive lifestyle. Mid-day three-course organic lunches feature amuse bouche appetizers, starters, main entrees, and replenishing, healthy desserts. Each restorative dish has been carefully created and tailored to provide the best possible nutrients that our Bali hotel guests need.

To refresh and reset between afternoon meetings, guests can enjoy another 15-minute break. Options include various fruit water infusions for the Detox program, a healthy tea time for The Revitalizing Secret, or organic and purifying juices for the Energy Boost program

The day is completed with an invigorating team-building breakout session, with options ranging from aqua stretching or flying yoga (Detox), Tai Chi or Pilates (Revitalizing Secret), and group surfing or beach volleyball competition (Energy Boost). Rates for the Healthy Meeting Package start at $125 plus 21 percent tax and service per person.

Featuring more than 8,000 square feet of meeting spaces -- including indoor, outdoor, formal, and informal venues across over 30 miles of lush landscape, The Ritz-Carlton, Bali provides an array of group setting that captivate guests. The Nusa Dua resort's meeting and function spaces are enhanced by distinctive outdoor venues and a beautiful natural setting, along with a dedicated multi-functional ballroom including five breakout rooms, wraparound terrace, and an abundance of space and light, combining the ambience of the tropics with full technological support. The luxury resort features five meeting rooms including The Ballroom, the most expansive of the indoor venues, and offers timeless Balinese elegance in its design, in addition to a boardroom that is ideal for presentations and more. For those who prefer an unconventional setting, the resort also offers a wide range of alternative spaces.
