Location & Access

Entrance to NUANU Creative City

Lumeira Nuanu sits in the Tabanan area, about a 2-hour drive from the airport.

YUKI

It's actually really close to Tanah Lot Temple

It's part of NUANU Creative City, Bali's newest cultural hub — a lively little town dotted with beach clubs, live venues, and hotels.

Taking the shuttle bus to the sauna

Tucked into the quietest corner of this sprawling property is the wellness retreat LUMEIRA NUANU.

After passing through the NUANU Creative City gate, a free shuttle bus takes you the rest of the way.

\Staying at a hotel inside NUANU is a great option too!/

The Vibe at LUMEIRA NUANU

The shop at the entrance

The first thing that catches your eye at LUMEIRA is the beautifully curated shop right at the entrance.

A well-curated swimwear selection

Thoughtfully chosen swimwear, healing goods, even stylish batik-print sauna hats — just browsing is enough to lift your mood.

Return your towel and sarong here

After check-in, you're handed a towel, a locker key, and a sarong to sit on inside the sauna.

The sauna area

And once you're inside? It's a sleek, adults-only resort world.

Beyond the standard dry and steam saunas, there's an ice bath, a hot jacuzzi, and even a flower bath — wood-fired water scattered with fresh blooms.

The temperature was just right

Start by soaking slowly in the warm water. This is exactly what a luxurious use of time looks like.

What Makes the Sauna & Pool So Special

The sauna experience here is on a completely different level.

A wood-fired sauna, wrapped in gentle heat

The dry sauna

The dry sauna runs at a slightly gentler 70–80°C. But here's the surprise: it's heated with real firewood.

A wood-fired sauna, the real deal

The crackle of burning wood and the faint scent of timber are soothing on their own, and your body warms slowly, deeply, from the core out.

Steam therapy with holy water

The dome-shaped steam sauna

In the domed steam sauna, free therapy sessions using aromatherapy and holy water run several times a day.

YUKI

You can feel that spiritual side of Bali here — it's something only LUMEIRA offers.

The real surprise: music playing underwater

The pool, complete with underwater music

What surprised us most was the big pool — it has speakers built right into the water. Dive under or just float, and beautiful music mysteriously fills your ears.

Floating along with a pool ring

Grab a float, sink low enough that your ears go under, and suddenly it's your own private meditation space. It's a level of release you won't have felt before.

💡 Want to go even deeper?

The spa area

If the sauna alone isn't quite enough relaxation, consider pairing it with a spa treatment.

A treatment room

Beyond the usual menu — Balinese massage (60 min, IDR 450,000 / about USD 29) or facials — there's also a genuinely immersive healing ritual held inside the steam sauna, inspired by the traditional Russian banya.

Dining at LUMEIRA

The restaurant atmosphere

Right next to the sauna and pool is an open-air restaurant with a pleasant breeze running through it.

Surrounded by greenery

The best part? You can eat and relax here in your swimsuit, no need to change.

Free, self-serve water

And here's a nice touch: mineral water is free-flow, self-serve.

After sweating it out in the sauna, being able to rehydrate freely is the kind of small detail that only a proper wellness spot would think of.

Three menu picks worth trying

Beef burger, IDR 135,000

The menu covers everything from breakfast and brunch to hearty pasta and burgers — the range is honestly impressive.

YUKI

Honestly, everything we ate had me double-checking — is this really a wellness café?

The beef burger gets its edge from a house-made aioli — generous portions, seriously satisfying.

Prosciutto and burrata panini, IDR 105,000

The panini pairs a heap of arugula with melty burrata cheese, and it's a perfect combination.

Shrimp bisque spaghetti, IDR 125,000

The pasta comes in a rich tomato cream sauce, packed with shrimp flavor.

It clings to every strand of pasta — genuinely excellent.

Worried about eating a full meal between sauna sessions?Don't be. Just float around the pool afterward, or settle into a deck chair with a book or good conversation — enjoy a proper food coma — then head back into the sauna whenever you're ready.
