Think of the best retreat you’ve been to. We’re guessing it’s probably close to something like a 5-star luxury hotel with world-class spa facilities, spacious suites and a private pool. It’s probably also made of concrete, right? Okay, forget about it because you’re gonna change your mind once you go to Fivelements Retreat in Bali. Its structures are made of bamboo. Yes! Located in a village called Ubud, it is well secluded within nature and is also made of nature.
