sunflower, followed by a sensuous
Ocean Splash Rose Bath strewn
with rose petals. A soothing
Balinese massage with nut-based

REMEDE SPA
At upscale resort destination Nusa
Dua, beachfront St. Regis Bali oozes
sophistication; a haven complete
with outdoor Aqua Vitale Pool, koi
ponds, elegant treatment rooms
and salon.
Book the palatial Golden Moon
Suite for the St. Regis Signature
Bloody Mary-Inspired Ritual —
named after the hotel’s trademark
cocktail. Start with an exfoliating
Tomato, Pineapple and Wasabi
Body Reviver then enjoy a skin-
purifying Vodka and Tomato Clay
Wrap. A detoxifying massage
precedes a Vermouth and Mineral
Salt Bath, taken in a stand-alone
tub in the suite’s private, Balinese-
style courtyard. You’ll leave with
silky-smooth skin: for once, alcohol
is good for you. Afterwards, enjoy
freshly-shucked oysters in the
spa gazebo.
THETA SPA
Nutrient-packed chocolate oozes antioxidants,
while cocoa butter applied to the skin makes it
velvety smooth. Chocolate Indulgence is a signature
treatment of Theta Spa, a charming, independently
owned boutique spa beside South Kuta beach.
After a Tropical Flower Foot Bath and firm-yet-
soothing body massage, you’re primed for a gentle
exfoliating scrub of chocolate, almonds and oatmeal.
A rich paste of chocolate from Indonesian cacao
beans plus organic honey is then slathered over
the skin before you’re wrapped in a banana leaf,
tropical-style. After a shower, the treatment ends
with the Ultimate Flower Bath sprinkled with rose
petals. Book Theta’s upper floor suite for sunset and
ocean views.
Heated gem stones are
placed on your seven
chakras to encourage
positive energy
PRANA SPA
Seminyak’s Prana Spa is a riotous
mix of Indian palace battlement
exterior and Middle Eastern-
style inner courtyards. Its Private
Suite offers packages geared to
couples; The Jewels of the Nile
couple treatment is four hours of
pampering. Kick off with Egyptian
Foot Cleansing in a footbath laden
with semi-precious stones, followed
by a Royal Massage incorporating
the suite’s signature 24K gold-
infused massage oil. Heated
gemstones are then placed on your
seven chakras to encourage positive
energy. A Genuine Pearl Facial
follows, then the Crown Therapy,
where warmed olive oil blended
with kaffir lime and rosemary is
massaged into the scalp. The
odyssey culminates in a Legendary
Cleopatra Milk and Honey Bath
taken in a clam-shaped jacuzzi
while you indulge in a bottle of
wine and canapés — discreetly left
by your private butler.
