Fivelements Retreat Bali
Eco-wellness retreat on the Ayung River, Mambal near Ubud
Photos: Fivelements Retreat Bali
Fivelements Retreat Bali sits along the sacred Ayung River at Mambal, a short drive from central Ubud, wrapped in jungle and rice fields. It is an eco-wellness retreat first, built almost entirely from bamboo, with plant-based dining and a programme of Balinese healing and sacred arts. Weddings here are run as ceremonies rather than big receptions, which is exactly why some couples choose it.
The property is small, at roughly 19 to 20 riverfront suites, several with their own pools, so a wedding day does not share the grounds with a full resort of other guests. The Mandala event spaces and the open Sakti dining sanctuary give you room for a ceremony and an intimate dinner, and the team is used to holding traditional Balinese, holistic, and simple vow ceremonies with a local officiant.
We treat Fivelements as a match for couples who want meaning and privacy over scale: a riverside ritual, a fully plant-based table, and a setting that feels closer to a Balinese village than a hotel. The published ceremony package starts from around Rp 14,000,000++ for in-house guests, with full weddings quoted separately once rooms, catering, and styling are added. We reconfirm every figure with the retreat for your date.
Key details
Why we love it
A wedding built around ritual
Fivelements runs weddings as ceremonies rooted in Balinese sacred arts, with a local officiant and a setting on the Ayung River. It suits couples who want a slow, meaningful day over a big reception, and it can hold a traditional Balinese, a holistic, or a simple vow ceremony.
Riverfront and genuinely private
The retreat sits along the sacred Ayung River in Mambal, wrapped in jungle and rice fields just outside Ubud. It is a small property, so a wedding here does not compete with a full resort of other guests.
Bamboo architecture and plant-based dining
The Sakti dining sanctuary and the suites are built from bamboo, and the kitchen is fully plant-based. This is a specific aesthetic, and for the right couple it is the whole reason to marry here.

Good to know
Common questions
Does Fivelements host weddings?+
Yes. Fivelements Retreat Bali runs weddings and celebrations in its indoor and outdoor spaces along the Ayung River, with a published ceremony package and options for Balinese, holistic, or vow ceremonies. It leans intimate and ritual-focused rather than a large banquet-style resort wedding.
How many guests can it hold?+
The event spaces together can hold up to around 300 people, with seated banquet setups closer to 100. The retreat itself is small, at roughly 19 to 20 suites, so we confirm exact ceremony and reception capacity with the property for your date.
What does a wedding here cost?+
The ceremony package starts from around Rp 14,000,000++ for in-house guests and Rp 16,000,000++ for non-in-house guests. A full wedding that adds rooms, catering, and styling is quoted separately. We reconfirm all current rates with the retreat for your dates.
Is the food really all plant-based?+
Yes. Fivelements is a plant-based, eco-wellness retreat, and the kitchen at the Sakti dining sanctuary is fully vegan. If a fully plant-based wedding menu is what you want, this is one of the few places in Bali built entirely around it.
