Spa treatments at Amankila, Bali

 

 

On my way back from a business trip several years ago, I stopped over to Bali, Indonesia for a little R&R.  It was one of my memorable trips. 

 

Bali is truly a magical place fills with rich culture and artistic spirits.  I particularly enjoyed watching the locals creating their arts and crafts.  From silver jewelry, wood cravings to Ikat textiles, they are made with so much love and attention to details to their work.  They can transform a handful of simple twigs into a beautiful crafted basket.  The way to wrap little packages for their daily offerings to the Gods are exquisite and yet simple.  I often use this inspiration of gift wrapping for our Cozy Petal gift baskets.

 

While staying at Amankila (part of the luxurious Aman Resorts), I have enjoyed a few spa treatments at various hotels.  The word ‘Amankila’ means peaceful hill. Their 34 free-standing thatched roof suites are elevated which takes advantage of the spectacular views to the sea and natural surroundings of the hillsides. And what a view!

 

One of my favorite spa and beauty treatments was the traditional Balinese massage at my own suite.  The body scrub & wraps were used with natural ingredients of luxury spa products that stimulate and restore my body well.  Not to mention about the enjoyment of the ultimate relaxation at a gorgeous place.  Only if I could wrap it up as a Spa-in-a-box!

 

Guests can also enjoy their massages at the outdoor pavilion, or at the Beach Club where teakwood massage tables are hidden away in amongst the tranquil coconut grove and flower bushes.  I fell in love with the scents of Frangipani, gardenia and orchids that linger in the air through the day.  As I strolled down the garden path to dinner, I found myself less of a stressful New Yorker before my vacation. 

 

Aaah, I’ll always have Bali
