THERMES MARINS BALI: PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT
VOTED #1 SPA IN THE WORLD BY CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER READERS SURVEY, AYANA RESORT AND SPA OFFERS THE ONLY THERMES MARINS SPA IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.
The comprehensive facility incorporates spa villas, treatment rooms, a beauty salon, reflexology and relaxation lounge, steam and sauna rooms and the world’s largest Aquatonic Seawater Jet Pool. The most indulgent wellbeing experience is Spa on the Rocks, with exclusive availability limited to just six couples per day. Capturing the essence of a truly unique setting, perched on natural rocks just below the resort’s towering cliff face, Spa on the Rocks is the pinnacle of private spa villa pampering.
Featuring two stunning pavilions surrounded by the sea, each luxurious abode is ingeniously designed to blend with the environment. Exquisitely appointed, each glamorous, yet down to earth villa features tropically inspired interiors and exteriors. Indonesian ‘merbau’ wood and traditional Balinese ‘alang alang’ thatched roofs melt effortlessly into the surrounding seascape, creating little distraction from the show stopping ocean and blue skies beyond.
Lavish spa treatments – with exotic names including Amazing Jade and Diamond Miracle – are enjoyed against a backdrop of Grecian-like cliffs, powdery white sea coves and aquamarine blue. As the sound of gently rolling waves blends harmoniously with the ocean’s calming sea breeze, it is time for the pampering to begin. Imagine a full-day spa package that leaves you relaxed and invigorated, as a combination of massage, healthy eating and yoga create a much-deserved ‘Stress Release’. Clocking in at over six hours, Ayana’s Stress Release spa ritual begins with the 90-minute Spirit of Ayana, where your body is exfoliated, bathed in enzyme-rich yogurt and kneaded to perfection with a traditional Balinese massage. Still dressed in your kimono and slippers, wander over to the Spa Café for a little inner nourishment. Conveniently located within Spa grounds, this specialized restaurant enables you to stroll over between spa treatments. Enjoy a freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice followed by an organic salad or artisan-crafted sandwich and homemade soup.
After lunch, it’s time to get back to work. Relish up to two hours in Ayana’s Aquatonic Seawater Therapy Pool, providing the natural curative properties of seawater through Thalassotherapy. An ancient healing ritual dating back 5,000 years, the term ‘thalassotherapy’ was coined in France in the 19th-century from the Greek word ‘thalassa’ meaning sea and ‘therapeia’ meaning healing. With the main objective to increase blood circulation and restore vital minerals lost as a result of stress, pollution and poor diet, the nutrient rich seawater is similar to the composition of human blood. Directly supplied from the underlying Indian Ocean, the pool’s water is warmed to optimum temperatures to provide the curative and preventative properties of seawater and to allow the skin to absorb trace minerals and ions such as magnesium, potassium and calcium sulphates. Hydrostatic pressure allows effortless exercise through 12 hydro massage stations via therapeutic jet streams, micro-bubbles and geysers. Targeting physical, emotional and an array of health needs, Thalassotherapy can be credited with strengthening your immune system, reducing cellulite, improving metabolism, detoxifying skin and yes, relieving stress.
Choose between a refreshing, organic and all-natural facial, using nature’s best ingredients, such as fresh yogurt, oatmeal, honey and egg whites or a nourishing hair treatment, designed to replenish moisture and protect hair from the sun. At sunset, join an Ayana yogi while overlooking cliff top splendor. As you stretch toward the soft glow of the fading sun and reflect upon the day, savor the knowledge that your flight doesn’t leave Bali for a few more days.
