Spa - Hotel Tugu Bali

The spas at Tugu Bali blend the one thousand and one exotic spices, roots, herbs and flowers of the islands, creating oils and elixirs based on ancient traditions dated back to historic Indonesia. Tugu Bali spas practice treatments that range from pure indulgence to peace of the soul. From treatment that is based on the traditional Balinese dances to hot stone treatment using spice-soaked volcanic stones, a Tugu Bali spa experience is a compulsory beginning to a stay in the Island of the Gods.

Mantra

The new treatment area of Waroeng Djamoe Spa is named ‘Mantra’, after the ancient Sanskrit word, and features the signature Mantra therapy.

At the Mantra, simple mantras are combined with a slow, paced, deep tissue aromatic massage using warmed virgin coconut oil containing homegrown tropical spices and roots. As the spices, roots and warmed coconut oil envelope the body and mellow muscle tensions, the mantras chanted by the therapists calm the mind, bring peace to the soul, and increase oneness of the conscience, bringing together a feeling of entire serenity, lightness and soulful relaxation, as the body and mind become one with nature.

Mantras originated in India with Vedic Hinduism and were later adopted by Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains. A mantra is a syllable, word or verse, which has been revealed to a sage in deep meditation. A mantra, when recited with devotion, concentration and understanding, revitalizes the body and mind with mystic power, and harmonizes thought and action. When repeated constantly during meditation, first loudly and then through silent and mental chanting, mantra changes the consciousness. The practice of simple mantras can result in a number of material benefits such as relaxation, reduced stress, better health, better self image. In non-religious practice. simple two-syllable mantras are used. The mere repetition of these syllables can have a calming effect on the mind.

The Mantra Spa opens to Hotel Tugu Bali’s lush tropical garden. With dimly-lit red Nepalese lanterns, flickering candles, old wooden paintings of the beautiful goddess Tara, as well as faint whisper of the Indian Ocean waves, the Mantra Spa is a heavenly sanctuary stroked with the warm late afternoon glow and quaint ocean breeze, as dusk falls in the island of the Gods.
