Treatments
CSE believes in hands-on healing that combines traditional Eastern techniques with select inspiration from the west. Appropriate therapies are recommended by knowledgeable specialists who make suggestions according to each client's end pursuit, whether it be a lymphatic issue, something muscular, or relieving deep-set stress and emotional difficulties. There is a substantial Ayurvedic selection of treatments, including Abhyanga, Pizhychil and Shirodhara. Balinese-inspired therapies include a Warm Muscle Wrap. Using traditional local medicine in a warming hand-crushed rice and spice mix, this treatment is considered effective in breaking down cellulite. Massages include Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Thai and Indonesian. Facial care includes aromatherapy facials.

Activities
Physical activity is a key element of the CSE experience. Everyday, there is a range of activities on offer. This variety owes much to the property's location in inland Bali, allowing clients and Activity Guides to work in the outdoors. Active Adventure Challenges include mountain biking, hiking, climbing, rowing, whitewater rafting and outdoor circuit training. We provide both tuition and equipment. In addition, CSE offers substantial Yoga and Pilates facilities, as well as tuition in various martial arts. Swimming and tennis are available on site.
