Bali, with her fast flowing rivers,
majestic mountains, emerald rice
terraces, lush jungle and idyllic sandy
beaches has long been hailed as one of
the most exotic destinations in the
world. These stunning natural attributes
are yet further enhanced by an
incredibly rich culture, an intense
spirituality, warm hospitable people and
a gentle pace of life. It is no wonder,
therefore, that this enchanting island
has long attracted holidaymakers who
recognise the importance of taking a
break from the stress of city life.

Visitors are also lured by
another attraction. Bali
hosts the highest
concentration of spas in the
whole of Southeast Asia, and
the island has become a
magnet for spa and massage
lovers seeking an indulgence
that will ease fatigue,
stimulate the senses and
awaken the spirit.

Since the late 1990s, spas
in Bali have sprouted, grown
and blossomed like lotus
flowers. Traditional and
modern body-soothing
treatments are available at
nearly every hotel, resort
and beauty salon. Something
that was once the domain of
the rich, the privileged and
the famous has, at last,
become accessible to
everyone.

Massage, healing therapies,
spiritual cleansing and
beauty rituals are all an
integral part of everyday
communal life in Bali, where
people have realized the
importance of taking time
for themselves and paying
respect to their bodies.
Ancient Balinese remedies
were recorded in Sanskrit on
pages of lontar palm leaf
and passed down through
generations of medicine men;
but the traditions
associated with health and
rejuvenation are secrets
whose origins have been lost
in time. Balinese spas have
grown from a belief in the
sacredness of the earth, the
produce of which is the
island’s natural pharmacy.
Weariness and tension caused
by hectic work schedules and
daily chores that continue
to demand an increasing
amount of our time and
energy, can affect the mind,
body, and soul. More and
more people are discovering
that far from being a mere
luxury; opportunities to
enjoy a soothing yet
regenerating experience are
becoming progressively more
essential, but somewhat more
elusive, in our busy lives
today. Spas provide us with
the atmosphere and the
facilities in which to
re-balance, and release our
pent-up stress. Find out for
yourself by booking a
massage at Jari Menari
today.
