Have You Tried Melukat?

Melukat is a Balinese Hindu purification ritual that involves bathing in natural spring water right at the source to cleanse the mind, body and soul. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this one-of-a-kind ritual - it’s not only for the religious. 

Your experience would involve travelling to a popular natural water source, such as Pura Tirta Empul in Tampaksiring, a stunning complex filled with Balinese statues & carvings, pavilions and bathing pools. Here, you’ll wear a special sarong and make an offering before immersing yourself in one of the pools along with other participants. Some waterfalls are also sites for melukat, such as the Sebatu Holy Spring Temple. 

The Balinese believe that melukat will cleanse the mind, body & spirit of negative influences, bring good luck & prosperity, inner peace & harmony. Remember that this is a religious and spiritual experience for the Balinese so all visitors to the temples are urged to behave respectfully. Women who are menstruating should not enter temple grounds. 

If you’d like to experience melukat while you’re here in Bali, simply speak to our concierge or a member of our staff. We’d love to help you arrange your melukat experience.

Melukat adalah ritual penyucian di Bali dengan membersihkan diri di mata air alami langsung dari sumbernya untuk membersihkan pikiran, raga dan jiwa. Setiap orang dapat mengikuti ritual unik ini.

Perjalanan spiritual anda akan dimulai ke sumber air alami yang populer, seperti Pura Tirta Empul di Tampaksiring, sebuah kompleks Pura menakjubkan yang dipenuhi patung & ukiran Bali, paviliun, dan kolam pemandian. Di sini, Anda akan mengenakan kain khusus dan melakukan persembahan sebelum menuju kolam pembersihan. Beberapa air terjun di Bali juga menjadi tempat melukat, seperti Pura Sebatu.

Masyarakat Bali percaya bahwa melukat akan membersihkan pikiran, raga & jiwa dari pengaruh negatif, membawa keberuntungan & kemakmuran, kedamaian & harmoni batin. Ingatlah bahwa ini adalah pengalaman religius dan spiritual bagi masyarakat Bali sehingga semua pengunjung pura dihimbau untuk mengikuti peraturan yang berlaku. Wanita yang sedang menstruasi tidak boleh memasuki halaman Pura.

Jika Anda ingin merasakan melukat saat berada di Bali, cukup hubungi reception kami a. Kami akan dengan senang hati membantu Anda.
