Sensory Surrender at Kayumanis Ubud
1 September 2009

Kayumanis Ubud recently celebrated the launch of its inspiring new spa facility, which is accessed via a private bridge crossing a small flowing tributary. Encompassed within a natural environment overlooking the mountain waters of the Ayung River, Kayumanis Spa is a nurturing centre that endorses wellness and living life to the fullest. Designed to capture the serene beauty of Bali’s tropical foothills, the spa features four open-air treatment pavilions, a restaurant, an infinity edge swimming pool surrounded by shady cabanas and a series of inspirations decks.

In conjunction with the launch of Kayumanis Spa Ubud, a signature treatment has been created to pay homage to the healing and beauty traditions of a bygone era. Sensory Surrender is a replenishing six hour body ritual that uses indigenous ingredients to restore depleted energy levels and leave the skin with a healthy glow.

The journey begins with a spiritual ritual involving a guided session of yoga and a refreshing walk along the banks of the Ayung River to clear the mind. A cleansing ritual with a luxurious soak in warm bath infused tea tree essential oil accompanied by a healthy serve of vegetable juice comes next. This is followed by gentle body scrub made from a blend of honey, sea salt and tea tree oil to stimulate circulation and soften the skin. The body is then wrapped in a fragrant concoction of frangipani and coconut for a nourishing effect.

The next ritual in this holistic styled sequence is performed to balance the body and spirit. A brief shower is taken prior to a stone massage where the healing properties of heated volcanic stones are used to relax tight muscles and purge negative energy. A choice of a facial or foot massage is then performed to transport the mind back into a state of reality.

Finally, a nutritionally balanced meal of light cuisine is served to bring this rejuvenating spa encounter full circle. A token gift is presented upon conclusion as a small keepsake of the Sensory Surrender experience.

Sensory Surrender is available exclusively at Kayumanis Spa Ubud and priced at just US$ 268+ + per person (subject to 21% government tax and service charge). It is the perfect ritual for weary travellers who have just arrived in Bali to counterbalance the effects of a long flight. However, anyone in need of some well deserved personal indulgence will certainly take delight in the benefits of this treatment.
