Embracing Balinese Tradition
At Santai Spa by Mandara, the moment you cross the threshold, you’re greeted with a warm Sembah salute and the traditional Balinese greeting of “Selamat Datang,” marking the beginning of your journey into serenity. The ambiance is infused with the essence of Bali, from the intricate Balinese pins adorning the scarfs of the reception staff to the mesmerizing Balinese paintings adorning the walls. The air is filled with the soothing strains of Balinese music, and the subtle aroma of essential oils lingers, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
A Journey of Welcome and Purification
As you settle in, indulge in a selection of traditional welcome drinks, including the refreshing Jamu, invigorating ginger tea, and calming lemongrass tea, preparing your senses for the blissful moments ahead. The experience transcends the ordinary with a Melukat cleansing ceremony, a sacred ritual that involves a brief meditation followed by a ceremonial water blessing, purifying your mind, body, and spirit in preparation for the transformative treatments to follow.
The Art of Relaxation
