Priding themselves on bringing an authentic and original approach to their industry, by undertaking what Lahra describes as “collaborative creativity” with her clients. “Our overall aim is to co-create a trusting connection and gently guide our guests through a highly personalised programme, while providing with useful tools for them to return home with,” she explains. “Our core retreat clientele is composed of diverse, forward-thinking, eco-conscious ‘change-makers’, who are actively a part of positive transformation in their lives, their communities and the world around them.

Lahra and the staff at Fivelements are well prepared to see this model extend into the future, and the co-founder expresses her hope to support wellness and positive action across a global community. By the end of 2016, their new Hong Kong establishment will facilitate opportunities to provide clients with an escape from their hectic urban lives. In Bali, meanwhile, they aim to expand their facilities by the end of 2017 to include 12 new luxury sleeping suites, as well as a culinary training kitchen. “Today,” Lahra reflects, “more people are leaning towards eco- living and paying attention to self-care and wellness. We are waking up and realising that the fast-paced, high demand lifestyle no longer serves us well and is not ultimately sustainable. The way we are living collectively has accumulated a destructive impact to the eco-system of the planet. Technology is very important in Lahra’s business, especially when it comes to educating clients about a more sustainable, relaxed lifestyle. Being guided by Balinese philosophy and tradition to facilitate positive change in the world, each of the nine suites on offer features customised lighting, showcasing the seven colours of the chakras, bringing mind, body and spirit in unison with nature. Guests manage their own lightning, as well as the music playing in the room, using tablet computers. The use of low-wattage LED lights has reduced electricity use for lighting by 95 per cent across the facility, Fivelements Bali Nestled alongside the Ayung River, Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa, is an eco-conscious wellness retreat deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of Bali. Lahra Tatriele, co-founder and Vision Director, is heavily influenced by the Balinese way of life which encourages us to nurture a greater harmony with spirit, the environment and one another.
