Location: Four Seasons, Jimbaran Bay, Bali, Indonesia
Category: Resort
Price Range: Massages ($55-$110) Facials ($80-$100) Body Treatments ($20-$230)
Treatments Received: Coco de Mer Package, Sea Mint Detoxifying Ritual
Summary: A lush, tropical Balinese setting at its most refined. Flowers were everywhere, from colorful arrangements in the elegant reception area and dressing room to frangipani floating in the footbaths and stone carved soaking tubs. The subdued energy of the therapists and the serenity of the surroundings gave it a spiritual feeling that made you feel like an honored guest in a temple of wellness. High-walled and extremely private spa suites used billowy white sheers to separate the indoor treatment tables from the al fresco soaking tubs and showers on the patio. Hand-loomed batik linens were spotless and sumptuous, towels were thick and thirsty, the relaxation lounge offered a limited but well-maintained refreshment bar, and the gift shop featured plenty of Four Seasons signature spa products and gift ideas.
Scheduling is set up so that you remain in the same spa suite with the same cross-trained therapist, creating a seamless and supremely soothing experience as your treatments flow into one another. The soft-spoken and diminutive therapists were deceptively strong and highly skilled in the use of indigenous ingredients and Balinese massage technique. This is about as good as it gets in quality and great value for your money.
