Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali Showcases Indonesia’s Wellness Heritage at New Arkipela Spa
Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali has unveiled its new Arkipela Spa, a sanctuary of wellness that showcases Indonesia’s rich wellness heritage. Arkipela Spa presents age-old recipes and therapeutic customs handed down over the generations to create experiences that leave guests feeling refreshed and revitalized. The Spa blends the ancient practices and wisdom of Indonesian wellness traditions using herbal ingredients.
Opened in October 2017, Arkipela Spa is open to both in-house guests and outside customers and can be easily accessed via the Samasta Lifestyle Village, the retail mall located adjacent to the resort and Mövenpick Café. Created by Hadiprana of the Indonesian design studio, Arkipela Spa features nine tranquil treatment rooms, a sauna and a selection of shiatsu massage rooms. A hair salon is planned as a future feature. “We are delighted to unveil our beautiful Arkipela Spa, providing yet another opportunity for our guests to unwind and soak up the exquisite culture of Bali and the Indonesian archipelago,” said Horst Walther-Jones, general manager, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali. Adding: “With our perfect location close to Jimbaran Bay, contemporary Balinese design and authentic ambience, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali has always aimed to connect guests with the island’s heart and soul. Natural wellness treatments have been practiced in Indonesia for centuries and the new Arkipela Spa will allow guests to experience these ancient arts in a luxurious and stylish setting.”
Signature treatments draw inspiration and wisdom from all corners of Indonesia. From Lombok, a traditional “Sasak Massage” incorporates long strokes, stretching, acupressure and aromatherapy to release deep-set tension, while “Oukup Martup” is an ancient Sumatran herbal steam therapy; “Pijat Urat” is a classical Balinese treatment that revives spiritual energy; and Java’s “Ginger Kerokan Treatment” uses local ginger and massage techniques to improve circulation and boost the immune system. Arkipela Spa has created a series of wellness journeys. The 90-120 minutes “Buatanku Apothecary Experience” uses a blend of seasonal elements and traditional therapies to rebalance the body and mind. This signature experience can be tailored to the specific needs of each guest. Alternatively, the 180-minute “Arkipela Signature Experience” is an intuitive treatment that combines a serene signature massage, body treatment and natural facial to restore balance to the body and leave guests feeling light and revitalized. Guests seeking corporeal cleansing and renewal can select from a series of body scrubs and wraps. These include the “Kaluku Body Glow” from Sulawesi, “Java Slimming Treatment”, and “Black Borneo Lulur" from Kalimantan. Finally, choices of facial treatments embrace natural, organic, local ingredients and techniques to leave guests’ complexions feeling smoother and their skin looking radiant. © Bali Discovery Tours.
