Bali Strengthens Medical Tourism with South Korean Clinic Opening in Sanur Health SEZ

Bali is continuing to strengthen its position as a primary magnet for medical and wellness tourism destinations in the Asian region. The government’s strategic move to develop the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is now bearing fruit with the entry of several global health institutions into Indonesia. This expansion trend is marked by the arrival of international specialist health services choosing Bali as their operational base. Most recently, Hestia Intimate Rejuvenation, a leading South Korean clinic specialising in women’s intimate area care, officially opened its services in Indonesia through a strategic collaboration with The Solitaire Bali. South Korea has long been a primary destination for Indonesians seeking premium aesthetic and wellness services. Hestia’s presence in Bali provides an alternative for the public to receive similar treatments without having to travel abroad. This aligns with increasing public awareness of preventive healthcare and healthy ageing, particularly regarding women’s specific needs. Hestia brings the high medical standards applied at their central clinic in South Korea. Dr. Hye Ri Hong, one of the specialist doctors leading Hestia, emphasised that intimate area health is not merely an aesthetic issue, but a crucial factor in long-term quality of life. Natural bodily changes due to childbirth, age, and lifestyle often cause discomfort that is rarely discussed openly. “Many women do not yet realise that anatomical changes can affect daily comfort. We prioritise an approach focused on function and health, emphasising privacy and natural results,” said Dr. Hye Ri Hong. Hestia’s presence within The Solitaire Bali ecosystem in the Sanur Health SEZ area allows patients to have a seamless treatment experience. From the consultation stage to recovery, everything is conducted in one integrated, private destination. The Solitaire Bali’s General Manager of Marketing, Shahnaz Anindya, stated that this collaboration represents a commitment to delivering world-class wellness services domestically. “The public no longer needs to go abroad. We bring global doctors and technology directly to Bali to ensure treatment quality equivalent to international standards,” she said. With the development of medical infrastructure in Bali, Indonesia has a significant opportunity not only to reduce outbound medical tourism but also to attract international patients to come and enjoy premium health services on the Island of the Gods.
