The Unique Tourism Collection has been appointed as Australia and New Zealand representative for Fivelements, the integrative wellbeing brand of GOCO Hospitality, as it grows from an original retreat in Bali into an international collection of destinations.
The Sydney-based travel and tourism marketing communications specialist will lead sales, marketing and media activity across both markets. Working closely with travel advisors, industry partners and media, the team will introduce Fivelements to Australian and New Zealand travellers and build long-term partnerships around the brand’s approach to wellbeing, from traditional healing and plant-forward cuisine to holistic care and community connection.
Founded in Bali in 2007, Fivelements was acquired in 2024 by GOCO Hospitality and is widely regarded since its founding in 2008 as one of the architects of modern wellbeing hospitality. Under GOCO, the brand is evolving into a global integrative wellbeing brand, combining movement, nutrition, hydrotherapy, restorative therapies and personalised wellbeing pathways with precision medicine, longevity science, ancestral healing and regenerative living.
For Australian and New Zealand travellers, the brand’s first two destinations are close to home. Fivelements Ubud, the original retreat on the banks of the Ayung River, continues to welcome guests ahead of a transformation planned for 2028, while Fivelements Samui opens overlooking the Gulf of Thailand on Koh Samui in early spring of 2027. At both, guests stay in luxury suites, mostly pool villas or pool-access suites, and enjoy healthy cuisine grown on each resort’s own organic farm.
Fivelements will then expand into Europe, with Fivelements Leysin in Switzerland in 2029 and Fivelements Montenegro in Kolašin in 2030.
Each destination draws on its own landscape, culture and healing traditions, so that guests know they are at Fivelements while feeling deeply connected to the place itself. Wellness is designed to be accessible to every guest, from those who simply wish to feel better to those seeking a fully immersive, personalised programme.
“We are delighted to represent Fivelements and to introduce our travel industry and media partners in Australia and New Zealand to a brand where each destination draws on its landscape, architecture, culture and traditions to create beautifully tailored and memorable guest experiences,” said Svetlana Jovanovic, General Manager of The Unique Tourism Collection.
“Bali has long been a favourite with Australian and New Zealand travellers, which gives Fivelements a natural connection to both markets,” said Ingo Schweder, Founder and CEO of GOCO Hospitality and Owner of Fivelements.
“Our recent days in Sydney and Melbourne with The Unique Tourism Collection were intense and incredibly encouraging, with a real appetite among travel advisors and media for wellness that goes deeper than a holiday. Svetlana and her team understand this market and what we offer, and we are delighted to be working with them as Fivelements Samui prepares to open next year.”
