Chandra Villas have been built over the past 8 years as a family home away from home; a place to escape the realities of hectic lives in big cities.

It’s a place designed to allow you to feel the comfort of home while receiving the attentive service of a family who cares, without the emotional attachment. It could only be in Bali, where the natural perspective of your Balinese “family” is to have time to stop and smell the flowers.

Services offered facilitate rest, relaxation and rejuvenation in no particular order or prescription. This is not a hotel with villas; this is a private villa with services offered within the private compound. If you want a massage, it’s in your villa.

Meals, cooked by our chef in the villa kitchen. Yoga, Pilates and martial arts sessions, offered in the garden. Babysitting? Again, in the villa, allowing you to spend time with your children without playing the security role all day.

If you fancy cooking for yourself, groceries can be ordered in and delivered quickly, and of course your laundry is taken care of too. The aim at Chandra is to make your holiday all about you. When and how you want it.

Because Chandra is located in the center of Bali’s most cosmopolitan neighbourhood, there are facilities close by. Chandra partners with Cocoon Medi-spa for treatments, which you can combine with an in-villa juice detox or with Vin+ if wine is more your kind of wind down.

We extend membership to the Canggu Club for tennis, sports, gym workouts and water-slide action for the kids. There’s the surf-school on the beach that’s a 10 minute walk away and then of course all the cafes, restaurants, bars and shopping of Seminyak Eat Street. The car waits for your call to drop you in the thick of it.

Of course, our front desk offers concierge services too in the case you’d like to explore Bali’s rich cultural heritage or simply experience the great natural beauty of the island, perhaps with a hit of adrenaline to boot.

If you’re keen to stay all day at the villa, our Butlers can arrange all manner of special treats from a flower filled bath and breakfast in bed to a BBQ with Balinese Dancers for a dozen friends. That’s what Chandra service is all about. When and how you want it.

Experience authentic ryokan traditions by unwinding within the serenity of nature, absorbing the minerals of a natural spring onsen, and indulging in exquisite Japanese haute-cuisine. Zaborin is a contemporary luxury ryokan in Hanazono, Hokkaido, Japan.

Our award-winning kita kaiseki cuisine is a northern interpretation of the the ancient traditional Kyoto kaiseki dining, celebrating local produce and seasons. Each guest suite (villa) has its own private indoor and outdoor hot spring bath. Breathe. Soak. Savour.

A ryokan is about exceptional food and onsen quality

Throughout history, traditional Japanese inns are destination experiences that include an evening meal of fine Japanese cuisine, an elaborate breakfast, and the restorative benefits of bathing in an onsen (hot spring).

Zaborin’s dining experience includes the unique and award winning multi-course ‘kita kaiseki’. All Zaborin villas offer the luxury of two private hot spring baths – one indoor and one covered open-air onsen.

A contemporary experience of Japanese traditions

Born of a desire to capture the spirit of the ryokan in a new and relevant way, Zaborin combines contemporary Japanese luxury with an extraordinary ryokan experience, together with the heart of Japanese service (omotenashi).

The design is an integral part of re-interpreting the meditative side of a ryokan but bringing with it modern comforts.

Internationally recognized and winner of multiple awards (from Japan, Europe and USA), Architect Makoto Nakayama and talented Creative Director Shouya Grigg, have interwoven the old with the new, the perfect with the imperfect, light with shadows and blended it into its natural surroundings.

And, unlike the more introspective designs necessary in Japan’s history, Zaborin is not only a part of its surrounding nature but extends the feeling of inclusion with unparalleled views. A place to sit.

GUEST VILLAS

There are two private onsens (one indoor, one open-air) of hot, natural, spring water in every villa, as well as all the modern amenities. Inhale the heady scent of birch trees from the encompassing woods, and listen to the water and the trees.

Offering a choice between ‘washitsu’ and ‘yoshitsu’ sleeping arrangements, each villa (suite) has a different configuration. Some rooms also benefit from an additional tatami space, ideal for small families.

In appreciation for the unusual snow of the area – delicate and light powder created by the freezing Siberian winds – the name of each villa follows a winter ‘kamon’ (Japanese crest) representing the various types of snow. Indulge in a hidden retreat of modern simplicity, enveloped by the serenity of nature.

WASHITSU
Japanese sleeping arrangement on the tatami floor with futons. Washitsu villas are Japanese in style with beautiful tatami mats in the bedroom and thick modern futons, Washitsu rooms allow for a luxurious version of the Japanese authentic sleeping experience.

Each washitsu villa suite has its own private indoor and outdoor hot spring baths, modern amenities and mini bar in its living area.

Surrounded by the beautiful white birch woods with the views of Hanazono farm, Mt. Yotei, or Annupuri and the Waisuhorn mountain ranges, whichever room you choose will offer a peaceful retreat all year round.

YOSHITSU
Western bed sleeping arrangements. Yoshitsu villas are suites with bedroom, spacious living areas and bathrooms. This includes its own private indoor and outdoor hot spring baths, modern amenities and mini bar, similar to the Washitsu villas.

The Western style configuration is perfect for guests who prefer to sleep on a bed with the choice of an additional extra soft mattress top, or choice of pillows.

Surrounded by the beautiful white birch woods with the views of Hanazono farm, Mt. Yotei, or Annupuri and the Waisuhorn mountain ranges, whichever room you choose will offer a peaceful retreat all year round.

AMENITIES
Each villa is a suite with generous living area, bedroom and bathroom.

Bathe
Japanese onsen bathing is a very important part of Japanese culture, one that is usually a shared experience.Unusual to many ryokans, Zaborin offers a choice of two private baths – one indoor, one outdoor – with every villa. Also available in guest bathrooms:

• A daily toiletry bundle for men including toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, razor, and shaving gel.
• A daily toiletry bundle for women including toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, hair accessories and a travel cleansing set.

Japanese usually wash in the shower before enjoying their hot spring baths so that it remains soap-free for a purer relaxation.

It is customary to wear traditional Japanese casual wear (‘samue’) around the ryokan. In cooler weather the ‘hanten’ is used as an outer layer, which has a removal fleece lining. These have been provided in the bedrooms for your convenience.

KITA KAISEKI

Inspired by the origins of the most formalised of all culinary traditions, kaiseki, Zaborin’s signature “Kita kaiseki 北懐石” brings a northern interpretation to the art of Japanese fine dining.

All ‘washoku’和食 (Japanese cuisine) aims to feed body and soul, particularly embracing the seasonality of ingredients, its themes and appreciation of nature’s bounty and “Kita kaiseki” indeed explores how to capture nature’s original and simplistic beauty while simultaneously elevating it in the art of fine-dining.

To follow the cycle of the growth from seed to plate and give it the full appreciation it deserves. Itadakimasu.

YOSHIHIRO SENO

Gifted Yoshihiro Seno’s career began as engineering designer before he decided to change paths and pursue the long road to mastering ‘washoku‘.

Having worked in many Japanese restaurants in New York City, he subsequently moved back to Tokyo to continue his craft. It was in Tokyo, with its accessibility to all ingredients, that highlighted a need to return back to his roots and examine the true meaning of ‘locality’.

Here in Hokkaido, with the abundance of exceptional local ingredients, and our own in-house forager, chef Seno felt is able to nurture his attention to detail, his thoughtful and emotional approach to the earth and fresh ingredients.

At Zaborin he has been able to fulfil his passion and precision with the freedom of interpreting Kita kaiseki. His skill has been recognized and awarded internationally and by Japanese connoisseurs alike.

A true ryokan experience is not complete without an evening lingering over a multi-course Japanese kaiseki meal, and a bountiful breakfast. These are included in your rate per night.

DINNER
Kita kaiseki is a northern interpretation of the rigorous Kyoto kaiseki meal, considered one of the most formal and exceptional forms of cuisine in the world.

Hokkaido born engineer turned chef Yoshihiro Seno’s exquisite and deceptively unadorned dishes embraces the seasonality, the simplicity, flavor and beauty of the local products. His attention to detail includes his own treated venison and frequent collaboration with our in-house forager.

Zaborin’s signature kita kaiseki can be enjoyed in our intimate dining room. For guests staying longer, alternatives can be arranged, for example an exclusive robatayaki omakase menu in the Irori room.

BREAKFAST
Not to be taken for granted, Zaborin’s breakfasts boasts an abundant offering of local produce. Choose from the traditional Japanese breakfast or a twist on the Western breakfast, served to match the Japanese dining options. Sample* Japanese breakfast include:

• Local Ginzan rice cooked in ‘Kama’ (traditional individual rice pots)
• Home-made pickled seasonal vegetables
• Home-made milk ‘tofu’
• Grilled Hokkaido seasonal fish
• Miso soup with blended Hokkaido miso
• Egg dish from local Kutchan egg farm
• Grilled seasonal vegetables

HOT SPRINGS

Regarded for centuries as both a necessity and a luxury, the communal onsen (hot spring bath) is a corner stone of Japanese culture.

At Zaborin, each of the 15 villa suites have their own private indoor, and own private open-air baths, all supplied with free-flowing hot volcanic spring water from Zaborin’s own spring source.

Inhale and take in the soothing scent of pines and indulge in the energy of the forest – also known as ‘forest bathing’ 森林浴 [Shinrin’yoku]. The extraordinary views, the exceptional water quality, and serenity of the moment will soothe both mind and body.

The volcanic waters of Zaborin come from almost a kilometre below ground, arriving at the perfect natural temperature. The unadulterated waters are a specialty and revered across Japan as the best in onsen bathing luxury: gensen kaikenagashi (源泉かけ流し).

The quality of our spring water has been tested and awarded the top 10% in the country. Rich in minerals, water that is also surrounded but such abundant nature is considered to have absorbed the ‘qi’ (気迫) – the energy or spirit – of those surroundings.

 Irori
Originally used for cooking and heating, the Japanese sunken hearth, the irori, is the heart of the home. At Zaborin this is reimagined not only as the physical centre of the ryokan but also enclosed in a separate space away from the views to re-focus internally. Pre-booking for a robatayaki dinner is available.

Chanoza
Literally ‘tea’s seat’, the chanoza is normally a formal tea room. We hope to demystify this ancient tradition by making it part of the daily movements and flow of the ryokan. Guests are welcome to take a seat and participate the meditative quality of a beautifully brewed cup of Japanese matcha.

The Living Room
The living room is a place to gather and relax. With floor to ceiling windows and views to Yotei san and our modest lake, the world of nature becomes a living cinema.

The pivot point of the Living Room is a double sided open fireplace. One of two such fireplaces on the property, it offers the same cohesion and role of gathering that was played by the traditional ‘irori’.

The Library
Ranging from Japanese classics in English, to European favourites in Japanese, to poetry and books on nature, the Library is a place to discover a gem of literature. Eclectic films and board games are also complimentary and available for guest use.

The Bar
The bar is made of one solid piece of wood and facing the majestic ‘Fuji of the North’, Yotei san. Sample the local whiskies, and soak in the view.

Footbath
Across Japan, there are free public foot baths ‘ashiyu’ for the weary traveller and searching for them can be a pastime on its own. Hidden in plain view in Zaborin’s central courtyard is one such treat. In some winter months, tunnels are carved through the huge snow drifts to a glowing candle-lit retreat for your feet.

In-house Boutique
Browse a selection of local ceramics, Zaborin soaps and our specially designed ‘samue’, ‘hanten’ jackets and pyjama outfits.

SUNKEN HEARTH
The main building of “Wanosato” is a 160-year-old reconstruction of a wealthy farmer’s mansion, with an imposing sunken hearth on the first floor. We use its “irori” (sunken hearth) to boil water or to slowly grill ayu (sweetfish) and iwana (rockfish). The “irori” is still an unreplaceable part of life at “Wanosato” as it provides warmth in the winter and air circulation in the summer.

After dinner, locals serve our famous “kappo sake” and will tell stories about the land. You can enjoy listening to Hida folklore while tasting our local sake heated in a bamboo tube and eating “takuan” (pickled radish) or “hijiki”.

When there are several groups of guests, we ask them to share the space together, and they always seem to be having a good time and enjoying each other’s company. We hope you will spend a relaxing time listening to the crackling of the fire and the murmuring of the Miya River while letting your mind err about the history of Hida.

SCENERY 
“Wanosato” offers approximately 45,000 sqm of land extending across the Miyagawa River, so that our guests can enjoy from their rooms the richness of nature throughout the four seasons.

You can enjoy the seasonal changes as you stroll close to the Miyagawa River, a clear stream teeming with river fish, and fully appreciate the wood-fired kamado (cooking stove), the water wheel, and other features unique to “Wanosato”. Please enjoy our pristine nature deep in the mountains, even in the Hida region where more than 90% of the land is occupied by mountain forests.

The author of the project and the founder of BIOLI Medical Wellness Resort, Tamaz Mchedlidze, has always had a clear goal in mind: to be a doctor. His distant ancestors, and then his grandparents before him, were engaged in medical activities.

It was from them that Tamaz found the inspiration for helping people, which he believes is the noblest profession in the world. After graduating from the Leningrad Medical Institute, Tamaz became a successful physician.

Being such an energetic, enthusiastic, and dedicated person, he decided not only to develop himself as a proficient specialist but also to develop a particular field further by creating a medical system that would work in the best interests of the patient’s health and comfort.

In September 1991, Dr. Mchedlidze opened his first clinic: today, MEDI is one of the largest medical companies in Russia, incorporating 25 clinics operating in the premium segments of St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Dr. Mchedlidze’s team consists of about four hundred professional doctors, all experts in various medical fields. In the MEDI system, he started the first private institute of postgraduate education in Russia, where more than 3,000 medical specialists are successfully trained each year.

Mr. Mchedlidze himself is a Doctor of Medical Sciences, author of many scientific articles, monographs, inventions, Professor of the Department of Health Care and Medical Management, founder of the Popular Medical Library of Dr. Mchedlidze.

His hard work brought him success and wealth, but due to the constant stress, over the years Mr. Mchedlidze’s weight reached almost 170kg. One day, standing on the scale, he realized that he had no moral right to talk to people about health when he was not healthy himself.

From that moment, he decided to radically change himself. With the help of his team of specialists, he developed a special system of philosophy and healing. In almost a year, he managed to normalize his weight and reduced it by 74 kg.

Mr. Mchedlidze not only recovered in record time, but also proved to be in exeptionally good physical shape and climbed the peak of Mt. Elbrus (5,642 m) on the same year.

Kojori
Kojori is a climate resort on the middle belt mountains surrounding Tbilisi. The resort zone benefits from clean mountain air, summers of average heat, moderate winds and humidity and the sequence of plain and semi-coniferous forests and meadows of fragrant grass.

Such a climate helps in restoring the overall health of the body and increasing resistance towards diseases. It also creates a great precondition for aerotherapy. Kojori possesses interesting historical value as well. The Agarata Fortress (also known as Kojori Fortress) erect in its proximity is dated to the XI century.

It used to be of great strategic importance for the feudal Georgia, since it crossed the only road from Armenia-Sabaratiano to Tbilisi. Kojori is also home to another notable medieval monument – the Udzo Monastery.

Throughout the centuries, Kojori has served as a summer residence for Kings and aristocrats, due to its special climate and gorgeous views. Nowadays, more and more people come here to improve their immune system and treat respiratory diseases.

Restaurant
The synthesis of an event hall and a restaurant, “Bioli Hall” sets a special model of nutrition. “Georgian Wellness” cuisine which was innovated in BIOLI has a great effect on improving quality-of-life as it represents a special combination of traditional Georgian flavor with wellness technologies of cooking.

The food is enriched with endemic phyto elements (selected individually) and provides an anti-oxidative effect on the body. Fresh, natural products, grown up at the Bioli hothouse are especially rich in vitamins and elements.

Our chef cooks the dishes with his own interpretation, the dishes, which are healthy, delicious and bring aesthetic pleasure at the same time. The menu for wellness guests is chosen individually based on medical diagnosis, by the recommendation of the Bioli nutritionist.

Entertainment Zone
After a full day of therapeutic procedures, BIOLI’s entertainment zone offers several options for relaxation. It offers guests a cozy atmosphere where they can listen to good music, play billiards, table tennis, darts, chess or backgammon.

Guests are also free to sample various types of BIOLI herbal infusions and unique pitcher-wines, exclusively bottled for BIOLI and made using unique organic grape varieties.

Phyto-resources
Since the use of medicinal herbs plays an incredibly important role in the process of human body recovery, Bioli employs specialists who utilize their professional knowledge by gathering medicinal herbs in country’s alpine zones, located on the southern slopes of Georgia’s mountainous regions.

Medicinal herbs are natural antioxidants, and at Bioli, they are used both in therapy and in our specially prepared healthful meals. The unique and proper combination of plants enhances our ability to make a targeted impact on the human body.

The Bioli Mix

Each bouquet is a collection of carefully selected ingredients. The aroma of flowers and grass charged with the Sun’s positive energy throughout the day, makes each Bioli mix special.

With the unique combination of plants we have come up with several mixes (“Detox”, “Relax”, “Antistress”, “Energy”, “Bioli Bouquet”, “Immunotea”) that have an intended impact on the human body. Besides the pleasant scent and tasteful features, they also have a therapeutic effect.

Functional nutrition

A menu enriched with endemic phyto-elements provides an anti-oxidative effect on the body, improves metabolism and boosts the immune system. Such a menu also has a detoxifying effect.

Physical therapy

Medicinal plant baths are among the safest treatments – their use helps to increase the body’s defense capability and its sustainability against the impact of adverse factors. Phyto-baths quickly provide relief from stress, calm the nervous system, rejuvenate and cleanse the skin, regulate sleep and improve metabolism.

Functional nutrition with endemic phyto resources

Fresh, all-natural products, some of which are grown on Bioli Farm, provide the human body with vital and essential elements. Functional nutrition represents a great precondition for strengthening the immune system and positively affects physical and psychological status.

In addition, a menu enriched with endemic phyto-elements, provides an anti-oxidative effect on the body, improves metabolism and boosts the immune system. Such a menu also has a detoxifying effect.

Nutritional supplements are selected individually. Dressings (sauces), which are made from mint, rocket, dandelion flower petals, oregano, pennyroyal, coriander, chicory and sea-buckthorn, are used for the enrichment of the menu, for therapeutic prescription.

Guests are also encouraged to sample several types of Bioli infusions. Each infusion is a mix of medicinal plants. Also, they stand out for their unique bouquet.

The “Detox” mix cleanses the body of harmful elements, “Immuno-tea” strengthens a weakened immune system, “Relax” and “Anti-stress” do a great job relieving tension.

Enotherapy

Our exclusive qvevri bio-wines bottled specially for BIOLI, deserve a special mention as they are wines rich in antioxidants and other important microelements.

Red wine rich in vitamins and phytoncides (150 ml per day) regulates cholesterol levels in blood and reduces the risk of thrombolytic complications, while the phyto-estrogens included in it (plant analogue of female hormones) maintains women’s youth and beauty during the critical period.

The powerful antioxidant effects of wines produced from Georgian grape varietal makes them unique in terms of their enotherapeutic features.

Physical Activity
Kinesiotherapy is an integral part of medical wellness programs. At Bioli, it implies different types of physical activities, focused on motion treatment.

Based on the concept of a medical wellness resort, all individually selected exercises at Bioli are preventative by nature, reducing the risk of developing bone and joint system diseases and avoiding the complications of existing pathological processes. Kinesiotherapy at Bioli incorporates the following physical activities:

A special walking technique with poles

A recreational, safe walking style (also known as the Nordic walking technique) using special sticks is beneficial for the prevention and therapy of musculoskeletal system diseases. Nordic walking exercises 90% of body muscles and burns 46% more calories compared to regular walking.

Decompression exercises on the crossover training equipment

Stretching exercises on the antigravity crossover training equipment holds the leading position in Kinesiotherapy. These exercises reduce load on intervertebral discs and joints, improves blood circulation and nutrition in tissues, stops spasms and strengthens the spinal muscular cortex.

Once the diagnostic research is completed, the exercise program is individually selected enabling us to prevent bone and joint diseases at an early stage. With injured joints, the exercise has a therapeutic effect and is used to prevent further complications.

Articular cartilage exercises

Articular cartilage exercises are one of the important part of the Kinesiotherapy. Complex exercises impact specific joints enabling to avoid the risk of bone and joint disease development and improve the condition of damaged joints at an early stage.

Articular cartilage exercises enhance blood circulation, improve muscle status, ease pain and tension in joints, and increase spine elasticity and flexibility.

Aqua Bike

Aqua Bike is an effective and complex method combining physical activity in the water and a hydro massage. A hydro massage improves blood circulation which has an anti-cellulite effect, particularly in the hip zones.

Water pressure reduces the load on joints. Pedaling provides cardio workout and improves the functionality of the cardio-vascular system. It must be noted that combining physical activity in the water and a hydro massage has a significantly more effective result than they do separately.

‘Fitball’ or Fitness-ball

Exercises performed with a Fitball enhance muscle tone, stimulate bone system functionality, enhance the flexibility of the spine, reduce the load placed on intervertebral discs and improve coordination.

During the exercises with a Fitball, a major strain falls on the back and abdominal muscles. In addition, it supports blood flow within internal organs and thus stimulates their function.

Breathing exercises

Breathing exercises performed in the fresh air, under the conditions of BIOLI’s unique micro-climate, promote sharp improvement of lung function.

Breathing exercises also have a positive, soothing effect on the cardiovascular system and provide one with a sense that they are in full harmony with the environment. The influence that breathing exercises has on the baroreceptors results in the activation of the blood supply and other physiological processes.

Discover Georgia
Georgia is a country famous for its incredible diversity. With its authentic beauty, it enchants even the most experienced tourists. Guests of Bioli can discover this small country-museum with a helicopter ride in just a day. The resort also offers spectacular tours individually tailored to its guests’ interests.

Bioli exclusive tour is the perfect choice for those interested in monuments and ancient architecture. It includes tours around the historical part of Tbilisi, as well as Mtskheta – the old capital of Georgia.

The program involves a hot air balloon trip along the Mukhrani Valley, and the evening is completed with a visit to a wine cellar and an introduction to the traditional Georgian cuisine.

Wine enthusiasts will experience an unforgettable adventure in the sunny Kakheti region. An experienced guide will show them around ancient monasteries.

Visiting Chateau Zegaani where the guests will taste unique qvevri wines and delicious dinner will only aggravate the impressions from the beauty of the Alazani Valley and the Caucasus mountains.

Wine Tour
Visiting the local wine estate is definitely the most impressive parts of traveling across Georgia – the cradle of wine. Chateau Zegaani, set up similar to a French chateau in the beginning of the XIX century by Lord Aleksandre Chavchavadze, is the hearth of European winemaking in the country.

The estate of great historical and architectural value is located in the Kakheti region. It is noteworthy that throughout a certain period of time, this chateau was the favorite summer residence of the Russian Emperor, Alexander III.

Today, Chateau Zegaani belongs to the Tatulashvili family, producing precious, organic Georgian wine. The wine tour at Chateau Zegaani is an unforgettable experience. Authentic environment, delicious wines and the gorgeous estate leaves no space for indifference.
