Spa Villas
The three Spa Villas reflect the elegant Balinese architecture of the Resort. Natural materials combine with native designs in such blissful elements as teak wood cabinets and flooring, hand-blown glass wash basins, hand-loomed Sulawesi silk furniture coverings, customised terrazzo massage tables and thatched roofs.

Each of the Spa Villas accommodates tandem treatments for couples. For convenience, they are connected to outdoor bathing pavilions offering steam showers, while large soaking tubs with adjacent open-air showers discreetly overlook private garden courtyards. The close proximity of the fast-flowing Ayung River provides a soothing natural accompaniment to the treatments provided by the Resort’s highly trained therapists.

AYURVEDA the "science of life" is India's natural healing sistem. It is a holistic science, more than 5,000 years old, believed to be the oldest healing therapy in existence. In ayurveda, we address prevention (of ill health), longevity and natural healing. Four different body treatments are available: Suci Dhara, Chakra Dhara, Shiro Lepa and Facial Lepa.

Suci Dharma
"Suci" in Indonesia translates as awakening and balancing of the body, heart and soul. A scalp massage to improve circulation, relaxing muscle and nerve fibres commances the treatment. It continues with warm herbal oils rhythmically dripped onto the forehead for mental relaxation and clarity. Then a warm herbal oil body massage aids in detoxification, and nourishes the nervous system. One finishes with a steam bath and an herbal dosha tea. Restorative, warming and balancing care for total well being.

Chakra Dharma
We seek to restore dosha (individual's constitution) and chakra (energy points) imbalance by dripping herbal oil on four key energy points along the central nervous system. A back, scalp, hand and foot massage is performed prior, by two therapists to clear any toxic blockages, and to receive the healing and restorative properties of the flow of oil onto the chakras.

Facial Lepa
The purpose of this traditional Ayurvedic facial is to detoxify, feed and nourish the skin. First the skin is cleansed with an herbal exfoliant, then hydrated with an herbal lepa (mask). The mind is cooled and calmed with the addition of shirodhara (pouring of oil) the third eye, which tones and nourishes the skin.

Shiro Lepa
This herbal scalp treatment commences with an Ayurvedic back and scalp massage to improve circulation to the head, relaxing muscle and nerve fibres. An herbal lepa (mask) is then applied to regulate scalp disorders and dry hair. It refreshes the mind and body, relieving tension and fatique.
