Escape to Spa Furama

Whilst Ubud is certainly an interesting, buzzing place to be, it isn’t the quiet village it once was. For those looking for somewhere quieter, a quick drive out will instantly take you into the countryside. Just south of the bustling hub you’ll find Furama Villas & Spa Ubud, surrounded by farmland and padi fields, in a little nook of its own - it is here that you can escape to, just for a day, to enjoy a spa experience amongst a Bali that once was.

Spa Furama makes the most of what mother nature has provided by making sure there are unobstructed views of land that surrounds it. A spa experience isn’t just about the treatment, it’s also about the environment, somewhere far away from stress, connected to the earth. That’s why, whether in a large flower bath, or lying comfortably on massage bed, it’s views all around. The spa is home to four beautiful pavilions and on spacious suite for couples. So, whether you’re coming alone or with someone special, you can find the treatment right for you. There are a range of treatments at Spa Furama, with ancient traditions stemming from Balinese, Indonesian and other Asian wellness customs. Each treatment however focuses on using natural ingredients with soothing and healing effects. Everything - from the soft lighting, earthy colours, ambient music - comes together to create an experience you’ll love.

There’s many experiences to try, from full packages, to special rituals, couple and honeymoon treatments, and experiences catered specially for women, men and even children. For those just after a simple pampering or nail care can do so to, in a truly tranquil atmosphere. As mentioned, treatments focus on natural ingredients for health and wellness benefits throughout the experience. One couple's body ritual called the Romantic Chocolate uses pure chocolate to rub and exfoliate, and chocolate oil masks for smooth skin. However, a real highlight is the spa's use of dragon fruit; its high antioxidant and vitamin C content, has visible benefits for the skin, includes fighting the signs of aging, acne treatment, soothe sunburnt skin, promotes skin health, also provides essential moisture for dry skin. The fruit is used in the 150-minute Oriental Heritage treatment, which includes a relaxing massage, a dragon fruit scrub and a foot massage, 150 minutes only for IDR 990,000++/person.

Yes, away from even the bustle of Ubud, Spa Furama offers a quick escape for those in need of some pure mental and physical escape. Spa Furama at Furama Villas & Spa Ubud Jalan Melati 8, Banjar Bindu, Mambal, Bali 80571 +62 361 8988 688 www.furama.com/ubud @furamavillasubud (FB + IG)
