The famous luxury spa on the rocks (located on the rocks and by the water) is at the top of our Bali Spa list for an authentic experience amidst rugged oceanic surrounds.
Dream Treatment: Dhakra Dhara
This one-of-a-kind signature experience is drawn from the time-honored massage traditions of Ayurveda combined with synergistic aromatherapy blends, gemstone therapy and chakra sound healing to relax your body, open your chakras and renew your spirit. Hindu therapists use pranic healing by visually projecting a ‘color’ out of their hands onto your body and chanting internally a sacred tone that’s called a ‘bija mantra’, to transmit universal energy for your body to use as it chooses. Balanced and cleansed anew, this treatment leaves you in an optimum state of well-being.
