The Westin Spa is Vibrant Within

Bali, 15 May 2004 - The Westin Spa at The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali, is set apart from other hotel Spas on the island of Bali because it is vibrant within. The experience offered to guests is lively, vivacious and so full of colour yet at the same time so private and personal. This is exactly how a Spa experience should be. Bursting yet always at an individual intensity - vibrant within.

Walking into the Westin Spa, guests are immediately presented with a lounge where they may take time to select their preferred treatment. The lounge also presents a collection of Spa books, great for further reading while enjoying a cup of mint tea. Overlooking onto lush gardens, the lounge exudes a calming influence to the process of selecting a treatment, setting the tone to an exquisite Westin Spa experience.

The Spa menu presents a comprehensive selection from Vibrant Rituals, Mandi Rituals, Massages, Body Scrubs, Body Wraps, Integral Facials, Natural Hair Creme Baths, Foot Hand Care, Waxing to Hair Services.

Vibrant Rituals have been specially designed for the Westin Spa, presenting a combination of treatments, one after another, providing a thoroughly healing experience head to toe. One of the more popular is the Warming Elixir Ritual which starts off with a foot bath, followed by a centuries-old village treatment of Balinese Boreh consisting of a full body Balinese massage and a body wrap made of active volcanic clay, herbs and spices. The treatment continues to a ginger body wash and to complete the deep heating experience is the Ultimate Elixir flower bath. A warm lemon tea is then served at the Westin Spa lounge to normalise the body back to equilibrium.

Mandi Rituals are taken from a traditional, luxurious and unique bathing ritual, a popular beauty ritual of age-old royal princes and princesses. The soak mixture comprises mainly of pure softening milk or mineral rich unrefined sea salt harvested on the coast of Bali. Mandi Rituals may be enjoyed prior to a massage to warm up the body or after a massage to ensure that the benefits of the massage lasts longer.

Located around the corner to the dramatic modern luxury lobby of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, the Westin Spa has five Spa rooms to choose from, one overlooking a lush garden is set for a couple, while the other four are singles. Of course guests may also opt to have their massage or creme bath at the balinese Gazebo located by the beach with the soothing sound from the seabreeze and splashing waves.

The only Westin branded property in Indonesia since December 2003, The Westin Resort enjoys a prime beachfront location in the exclusive Nusa Dua enclave on Bali's southern tip with 355 modern luxury rooms featuring Westin's signature innovation, the Heavenly Bed.
