ARC for tourists

During a recent twelve-month period, ARC Bali treated visitors from such diverse locations as Shanghai, New Caledonia, Taipei, Guam, Darwin, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Paris, Singapore and Auckland. They have come to Bali specifically for treatment at ARC.

Most others combine a holiday with treatments typically costing one-third to half the cost in other countries.
