With a population of close to four million people, your trip to the island can be filled with art, culture, nature, spiritual, wellness heritage – or a mixture of all of these elements.
You will feel privileged with the attention bestowed upon you at the Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali. The new Arkipela Spa is a blissful sanctuary of wellness that showcases Indonesia’s rich wellness heritage. It harnesses traditional techniques and herbal ingredients to deliver treatments from all across the archipelago.
Arkipela Spa weaves age-old recipes and customs handed down from generation to generation to create experiences that leave guests feeling refreshed, revitalised and re-energised. Blending the ancient wisdom of Indonesian wellness with traditional herbal ingredients, the spa reflects the true spirit of the archipelago.
Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali is a family lifestyle resort near Jimbaran Beach, Indonesia.
Arkipela can be easily accessed via the Samasta Lifestyle Village, the Balinese-inspired retail mall located adjacent to the resort and Mövenpick Café. Created by Hadi Prana, the Indonesian design studio, Arkipela Spa features nine tranquil treatment rooms, a sauna and a selection of shiatsu massage rooms. A hair salon will soon be added.
General manager of Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali, Horst Walther-Jones, said it was a delight 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”.
“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,” Horst said. “Natural wellness treatments have been practised in Indonesia for centuries and the new Arkipela Spa will allow guests to experience these ancient arts in a luxurious and stylish setting.”
Best treatments
The new Arkipela Spa at the Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali. It showcases Indonesia’s rich wellness heritage.
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 also created a series of wellness journeys. The 90-120-minute ‘Buatanku Apothecary Experience’ uses a blend of seasonal elements and traditional therapies to rebalance the body and mind. This sublime 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 revitalised.
Guests seeking corporeal cleansing and renewal can select from a series of body scrubs and wraps that harness the spiritual intelligence of the Indonesian islands. These include the ‘Kaluku Body Glow’ from Sulawesi, ‘Java Slimming Treatment’, and ‘Black Borneo Lulur’ from Kalimantan. Finally, a choice of facial treatments embrace natural, organic, local ingredients and techniques to leave guests’ complexions feeling smoother and their skin looking radiant.
Arkipela Spa complements the wealth of recreational facilities already offered by Jimbaran Bali owned by PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, including a fitness centre, yoga classes and an amazing lagoon-style swimming pool that winds through the resort and features its own beach.
