Bali SPA Techniques

1. [LULUR SPA Therapy]

In Bali, the most famous SPA method is LULUR SPA. LULUR is the general name for exfoliating powder, and it also refers to a full set of care treatments. It is said that in the past, Javanese royal women had to undergo intensive LULUR treatments every day 40 days before their wedding to keep their skin in perfect condition on the wedding day.

The Indian hot stone SPA helps modern people quickly relax their tense spirit and relieve stress. It uses the huge energy and heat-resistant properties of stones to achieve deep muscle relaxation massage. It combines Western lymphatic detoxification and Chinese meridian principles, and is especially suitable for Oriental physiques. Using mineral-rich stones from Mount Agung, combined with essential oils and unique hot stone massage techniques, it can completely relieve physical and mental fatigue, eliminate toxins accumulated in daily life, and release stress and pain.




3. [Volcanic Mud Beauty SPA]

Volcanic mud is extremely rich in minerals and is very precious. It belongs to the earth's original mineral deposits. It contains material energy, is highly safe, has good adsorption, and has a pH close to that of human skin, making it especially suitable for Asian skin. Many high-end SPA centers in Bali offer mud bath SPAs made from all-natural volcanic ash. Its pollution-free, microbial-free, and chemical additive-free characteristics allow guests to use it safely.

It is said that this method originated from Hawaii and combines five massage techniques: Japanese Shiatsu, Thai, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Swedish and Balinese. Two masseurs use four hands to massage together. One is the leader called Mother, and the other is the Mirror. The two massage symmetrical parts with the same rhythm, and even the breathing must be coordinated. This can achieve the best massage effect and make the guests feel comfortable.



Bali Specialty SPA Massage

1. Chocolate SPA

Using chocolate for SPA, this new beauty and body care method not only attracts customers who are looking for novelties in terms of its name, but its health and skin care effects make it difficult for many fashionable people to resist its temptation. Chocolate is rich in cocoa polyphenols, proteins and unsaponifiable substances, which can tighten the skin and make the tired and loose facial contours look younger. Hot chocolate, in particular, has a good soothing effect, which can promote skin blood circulation and remove aging epidermal cells, thus making the skin glow.

Originated from folk hot compress therapy, first crush 18 kinds of natural herbs, then carefully blend them according to the traditional Balinese formula, wrap them in cotton cloth, steam them for an hour, wait for the herbal essence to seep out, and then use hot compress. The seemingly ordinary small herbal ball contains the wisdom of traditional medicine and the magical effect of natural Asian grass.



3. Yoga therapy SPA

Yoga SPA originated from our ancestors observing the postures and forms of all things in life, and was inspired by them, and then changed and created and grew into "yoga posture therapy". Yoga SPA promotes body circulation by stretching the limbs, strengthens the functions of various parts, and cooperates with yoga breathing techniques to help us calm down tense emotions, and then through meditation and sitting, people can calm down and relax.

Zen Therapy is a specific SPA package at Shiseido SPA in Bali. It is formed by moisturizing massage with specific Shiseido products, and then applying Shiseido body cream. After the massage, the skin will remain soft and fragrant.
