banyan tree spa ungasan
the look
Its secluded location not only steals you away from the world for a while but also provides an entrancing view once you pull the curtains open. The nine spa rooms each contain a pair of massage beds, and also a bathtub with an adjoining shower, toilet and powder room. While each is aptly named based on local ingredients, such as jahe (ginger) and kunyit (tumeric), every room is insulated by an expansive glass window overlooking a serene swimming pool and a hill silhouetted by sunset. The visual result of it is utterly bewitching.
the touch
Although a cornucopia of services is listed on the menu, the spa takes greatest pride in conjuring up a laudable Balinese massage. The array of “his” and “her” treatments is carefully chosen, including the select ingredients to go with it. It’s not surprising that every step taken by the therapist comes enhanced by a certain fragrant oil or lotion to top off the total experience. Aside from their chic uniforms and svelte posture, the pleasant-looking therapists are also up to par. They won’t hesitate to clamber onto the massage table to bestow the right kind of kneading on your back, precisely the way you desire it. This is indisputable proof of quality service.
the ingredients
Banyan Tree Spa has a generous line of products varying from massage oil to body sprays. All imported from Thailand, some of them will be infused in your treatment. However, it’s essential to make your booking at least a day in advance since the main ingredients are all natural and prepared on the spot. Nuances of different floral scents are to be enjoyed enriching every inch of the spa room, as well as gently swathing your body, from ylang-ylang to exotic perfumes.
the special
The spa delivers an effortless charm to luxury travellers who like to have crème-de-la-crème service. The interior is well thought out, and very much enchanting, especially if you book a treatment during sunset hours. The icing on the cake – should you be so lucky – is the infrequent appearance of Uluwatu monkeys strolling past the quiet pool outside the window.
