At the heart of Bali, Cicada Resort Bali Ubud, Autograph Collection, offers an intimate boutique sanctuary for pathfinders seeking more than a conventional getaway. Inspired by the cicada’s symbolic journey of transformation and renewal, the resort invites guests to explore a deeply immersive experience shaped by Balinese mythology, spirituality, culture, craftsmanship, and the natural world. From arrival through renewal, every element encourages guests to slow down, look inward, embrace life’s sacred rhythms, and reconnect with what matters most.

This philosophy comes to life through Melukat, a traditional Balinese purification ceremony featuring sacred water that flows directly from Pura Bintang into the resort’s purification spring. Guided by a Pemangku, or Balinese priest, from the Sebatu Village community, this distinctive Autograph Moment begins with Mewacak, a traditional spiritual reading. The ritual helps determine whether the timing is considered auspicious and spiritually harmonious. When the signs are favorable, guests proceed with Melukat. If the timing is not aligned, the experience becomes an invitation to trust the natural flow of life and return when the moment is right.

Designed with an emphasis on natural wood and stone, the resort celebrates the artisanal traditions of Sebatu throughout its intimate surroundings. The property currently features 20 Suites and 10 Heated Pool Villas, with six additional villas planned to provide guests with even greater privacy, space, and seclusion.

The resort’s focus on spiritual and holistic wellbeing will expand further with the arrival of Pravi Spa in September 2026. Situated at the end of the Path of Dharma beside the peaceful Oos River, the spa will bring together time-honored healing practices and modern therapeutic approaches. Bespoke rituals, locally sourced natural ingredients, and the restorative qualities associated with holy water will create opportunities for guests to rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit.

The culinary experience begins at Tangelo Restaurant, where guests can enjoy breakfast and sundowner afternoon tea accompanied by the soothing sounds of cicadas. The restaurant then transitions into an à la carte semi-fine dining experience featuring international influences and daily performances. For a more relaxed and mindful setting, Verdant Pool Lounge & Bar offers wellness-focused dishes and refreshing local flavors amid lush greenery and a tranquil poolside atmosphere.

]]> Global Wellness Summit 2026 Announces Theme and Keynote Speakers 2026-05-21T16:52:00+02:00 https://www.dailycsr.com/Global-Wellness-Summit-2026-Announces-Theme-and-Keynote-Speakers_a5800.html https://www.dailycsr.com/photo/art/imagette/96665523-67383325.jpg 2026-05-21T16:46:00+02:00 Debashish Mukherjee Global Wellness Summit 2026 Announces Theme and Keynote Speakers
The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), recognized as the premier event for leaders in the worldwide wellness industry, is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary at Angsana Laguna Phuket from November 10–13. Marking the largest and most expansive edition in its history, the conference will convene wellness executives, healthcare professionals, academics, investors, technology pioneers, policymakers, and creative visionaries. The event will honor two decades of remarkable expansion in the wellness sector while recognizing the organization’s influential role in advancing the global wellness economy.

GWS also introduced its 2026 theme, “The Science, Art and Soul of Wellness,” which aims to examine both the foundational principles of wellness and the innovations shaping its future. The theme places equal importance on spiritual wellbeing and emotional connection alongside scientific progress and medical discovery.

Among the first keynote speakers announced is Dan Buettner, the Emmy Award-winning producer and bestselling author celebrated for identifying the world’s “blue zones,” regions associated with exceptional longevity and health. Joining him will be William Heinecke, founder and chairman of Minor International, as well as Andrea Maier, a globally respected authority in longevity medicine and co-founder of the NUS Academy of Healthy Longevity at the National University of Singapore.

In addition, Cathy Feliciano-Chon will moderate a discussion featuring Ronald Akili and Huy Huong, exploring how independent hospitality brands across Asia are redefining wellness-focused travel experiences.

The 2026 program will blend discussions around science, creativity, and spirituality, reflecting the broad evolution of wellness and preventive healthcare. While evidence-based medicine, longevity research, and medical wellness innovations will remain central topics, the agenda will also spotlight emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Artistic disciplines such as music, film, and live performance are expected to play a larger role than ever before, with experts examining advances in neurowellness, neuroarts, and neuroaesthetics.

The conference will also reflect on the extraordinary transformation of the wellness economy over the last 20 years. What was once a $60 billion spa market in 2007 has evolved into an 11-sector industry now valued at approximately $6.8 trillion. The theme further aligns with Thailand’s own wellness identity, where ancient healing traditions coexist with modern medical wellness and longevity destinations.

“We’re creating a dynamic agenda that reflects the major insights gained over the last two decades of wellness while bringing together influential voices to discuss what lies ahead for the next 20 years,” said Nancy Davis. “We have exciting plans in store for Phuket, including several special surprises to mark the occasion.”
