Bali Beckons will highlight the traditional Balinese massage, a relaxing series of long kneading strokes with acupressure and foot massage. The therapist blends herb-infused coconut oil with basil, patchouli and vetiver essential oils to further soothe and relax the body. One of the most popular spa treatments is the Lulur Jimbaran which combines a Javanese beauty ritual with the ultimate in pampering. First, you will enjoy a relaxing Balinese massage, complemented by an exfoliation treatment with granular turmeric, sandalwood, sweet woods, rice powder, ginger root and spices. A Javanese polish follows where you indulge in a fresh yogurt splash and then a soothing soak in a bath infused with plants and flowers from the Spa Garden. A jamu herbal beverage is served as you relax and are coated with a flower body lotion.
Two styles of the aroma massage and a reflex massage with essential oil blends are additional Balinese treatments being offered in Aviaras summer spa promotion. The aroma massage heightens the senses with scented oil blends and a choice of massage styles. The restorative aroma massage style uses rhythmic light strokes for a gentle relaxing effect, and the energizing aroma massage relieves stress and muscle tension with deep strokes and cross fiber massage techniques to stimulate circulation. The reflex massage is a specialized foot and hand massage to relieve stress and tension. It improves the blood and nerve supply to restore the bodys natural equilibrium.
