THE ROYAL TREATMENT
AS BALI’S FASHIONABLE WELLNESS INDUSTRY SEES NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN, THE FORWARD THINKING OWNERS OF VILLA JERAMI HAVE CAPITALIZED ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE 19-VILLA COMPOUND.
With new additions including a second spa, aptly named Royal Spa Jerami, and Warung Jerami, a stylish restaurant venue, Villa Jerami is a multi-faceted holiday destination in a stylish location. With a showpiece location on one of Seminyak’s most desirable streets, home to the expat-fave, Bali Deli, as well as several hip boutiques including Uma & Leopold and Le Toko, Jalan Kunti was one of the first areas for luxury villa development in South Bali, and it continues to attract international visitors with its vibrant holiday scene.
With several options available for both in-house villa guests and visiting day spa enthusiasts, Villa Jerami offers attractive spa and restaurant packages attractively designed for spa addicts looking for that indulgent two-hour fix. Inclusive of a stylish, alfresco or air-conditioned lunch or dinner experience at Warung Jerami – offering both classic Indonesian signature dishes as well as Western favorites such as delectable BBQ pork ribs and savory tomato soup – the Rama Shinta spa package is one of Bali’s most romantic spa experiences.
Set within a Japanese-inspired minimalist garden, Jerami Spa’s soothing energy is enhanced with the sound of flowing water against a bamboo backsplash. A candlelit corridor leads to an intimate spa setting with six double treatment rooms, stocked with locally sourced herbal spa products and hand made scrubs. Rama Shinta’s 150-minute package begins with a soothing foot ritual designed to set the mood. Followed by a 60-minute Traditional Balinese Massage – a must have experience for every visitor to Bali – your skin will say ‘thank you’ after being exfoliated and moisturized with a special Green Tea Scrub, Aromatic Clay Honey and an Aromatic Flower Bath. A Natural Beauty Facial helps to repair sensitive facial skin after indulging in some much needed beach time, and a specially concocted Body Lotion by Frangipani creates an irresistible aroma that your significant other will not be able to get enough of.
Owned by a successful group of Jakartan real estate developers, it is obvious that modern design is top priority. All of Jerami’s villas are tucked discreetly behind contemporary concrete walls, manicured with water features and just the right amount of green from Mother Nature. With an impressive variety of one- to three-bedroom pool villas, Villa Jerami is a natural draw for honeymooners and families alike. Fully appointed kitchens, comfortable bedroom suites with pool views and stylish sun decks create a plush residential atmosphere within Seminyak’s urban surroundings.
Before heading to a delicious meal at Warung Jerami, where an experienced Balinese chef with extensive cooking experience in Japan has created a versatile international menu, take the time to experience one of the new treatment suites at Royal Spa Jerami. Freshly appointed with blooming orchid plants, the 90-minute Hot Stone Massage is designed to induce a meditative calm; perfect after a full day of shopping or driving across the island to experience Uluwatu Temple at sunset. Also an ideal treatment after a long flight, your limbs are gently stretched and massaged. The therapist holds two heated stones in her palms; expertly kneading your muscles to relieve stress and insomnia while increasing blood circulation. With two deep leather chairs to sink into, no holiday in Bali is complete without experiencing a Classic Reflexology treatment – an indulgent follow up to the Hot Stone. Capitalizing on the theory that every body part has a corresponding pressure point in our feet, your therapist can pin point and eliminate stress by stroking and pressing sensitive areas from the tips of your toes down to the base of your heels.
Now that you’re ready to hit the boutiques again, top off your energy reserves with a quick stop at Warung Jerami for an icy cold Strawberry Peach Tale – a heady concoction of frozen strawberries and peaches blended with a sweet touch of peach syrup. As you sit in air-conditioned comfort watching the chic sidewalk scene pass before you, you may just decide to chill until Happy Hour.
