Hidden within the quiet folds of Sapat Village lies Pura Beji Sapat, an ancient sanctuary. Maya Ubud Resort & Spa invites discerning travelers to experience this rare and intimate journey, a purification ritual that transcends the physical and reaches deep into the soul.
The experience begins gently at the resort lobby, where a leisure guide introduces the meaning behind the ritual, encouraging guests to anchor their intentions before embarking on the short scenic drive through rural landscapes. Upon arrival at the temple, guests don traditional attire and enter a realm shaped by centuries of devotion. Here, holy springs flow from natural stone, feeding a series of sacred water spouts believed to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. With the guidance of a local priest, guests move through each stage of the Melukat ceremony, offering prayers, receiving blessings, and letting the cool mountain water wash away emotional weight.

As the ritual concludes, guests step back into the stillness of the forest before returning to the resort, where a soothing glass of iced wedang jahe awaits. More than an experience, the Purification Journey is a serene encounter with Bali’s living heritage, designed for those who seek a sense of inner renewal.
