WHY IT RATES: Spa fans won't have to travel all the way to Bali to indulge in the destination's healing and treatment rituals at one of the world's best spas. These ancient treatments will be available in South Africa for the month of May.-Mia Taylor, TravelPulse Senior Writer.
Indonesian therapists from Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay will leave their picturesque island of forested volcanic mountains, rice paddies, beaches and coral reefs to join The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg for a Balinese spa seasonal pop-up.
Available from May 1 until June 1, 2018, this exclusive and unique opportunity will offer day spa patrons and guests of the hotel to travel to one of the world's best spas, without ever having to leave town.
The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay showcases ancient rituals, locally grown ingredients, and an authentic educative approach. Together, they demonstrate the Balinese integration of the physical and spiritual worlds and the importance of an all-encompassing view of wellness across both body and soul.
Performed to perfection by visiting Balinese spa therapists, guests of Four Seasons Spa Westcliff will have the exclusive opportunity to discover and experience the exotic world of four traditional Balinese treatments, from nurturing and restorative massages to a luxurious, aromatic body scrub and hydrating floral bath. These treatments will showcase the diversity of the Balinese wellness culture, used for centuries to heal and harmonize.
The treatments include:
Batu Kali Riverstone Bathing Ritual (120 minutes) - The Balinese tradition of river bathing is both an age-old ritual and a communal soul sharing. After a long day in the fields, villagers would unite in the fast flowing water to swap gossip and stories, laughter and song, while using river stones to scrub and massage away the stresses of the day.
Inspired by these traditions, this revitalizing ritual includes a nourishing herbal application for the hair and scalp, an invigorating river stone scrub to revive tired skin, and a soothing Balinese massage - with coconut oil and freshly grated ginger paste - to ease and warm the body. Great for both sexes.
Traditional Balinese Massage (75/90 minutes) - Traditional Balinese massage is passed through generations, preserving its unique healing techniques. In its most traditional form, the massage uses long strokes, gentle skin rolling, deep kneads and foot reflexology.
Kundalini Back Massage (75 minutes) - Ideal for depleted bodies and souls, this nurturing treatment profoundly restores the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Focused massage and sound healing activate and channel the Kundalini - the dormant energy at the base of the spine: tension and negativity are lifted and a state of balance and awareness is returned. Great for jet lag or all-around soothing.
Lulur Jimbaran (120 minutes) - Lulur is a luxurious body scrub, originally a beauty secret of Javanese royalty brought across the Java Sea by the Balinese for their own rituals. A gentle, aromatic exfoliation and skin-nurturing yogurt result in gorgeously soft skin, followed by a hydrating floral bath, therapeutic herbal jamu and Balinese massage.
