Summary:  Picture yourself relaxing under the capable hands of a Balinese masseuse as you lay in an open air spa villa perched atop an outcropping of rocks and listen to the lull of the waves from the crystal blue Indian Ocean that surrounds you below.  It’s not a dream, it’s Spa on the Rocks, one of a handful of sensory feasts you will find at this spare-no-expense resort spa.  The rest of the spa sits on land and features a contemporary Asian décor with dark coconut wood furniture and the resort’s signature shade of violet everywhere --- in the uniforms, the linens, the treatment rooms, outdoor relaxation pavilion and plush locker rooms.  The spa café serves some of the freshest and most delicious spa cuisine you will find anywhere in the world.  Make sure to include a meal there during your visit.  

The spa menu is extensive and offers a Eurasian-inspired collection of massage, facial and body treatments for men and women, as well as advanced technology for non-invasive slimming and firming treatments usually associated with medispas.  The therapists are trained in every treatment offered so that the spa guest can remain with the same therapist in the same suite for multiple treatments.  English is spotty here since most of the resort guests are Japanese or Russian, but the therapists make every effort to accommodate your wishes graciously and promptly.

The crown jewel of this spa is the 7,000 square-foot Aquatonic® Pool, with its warm, mineral-rich seawater, 12 underwater exercise zones, and hundreds of hydromassage jets positioned to target every muscle in your body while you soak in the gorgeous view overlooking Jimbaran Bay.  A visit to the pool is a must and the perfect way to wrap up your spa stay.
