Guests can step through the doors of Chantara and experience the richly exotic contemporary Indonesian day-spa design, featuring local timbers and stone, warm golden lighting and original Balinese artwork throughout. Neutral tones are enhanced by the richness of maroon and bronze, colours of the local spice market. The cosy and intimate spa features a tranquil relaxation area, four spacious private treatment rooms with facilities, a salon services area for hands and feet, retail boutique corner and an inviting organic tea lounge. Joanne tells us more about the spa’s service offering and how it works to offer every visitor the very highest standards of service, tailored to meet their individual needs. “Chantara Wellness & Spa’s menu features time honoured health and beauty rituals, originating from the many corners of Asia and beyond. This time-honoured approach to wellness reflects the ancient healing philosophies that are unique to Chantara. Customised treatments are created with utmost care by our skilled therapists featuring cruelty free, vegan friendly organic botanical and aromatherapy products exclusive to our spa. “The Chantara experience begins with a brief consultation where a customised spa journey is planned to cater to our guest’s personal needs and desires. Take a moment in the Tea Lounge to savour our soothing aromatic signature ginger and lemongrass tea or a cooling lime mint drink. Dip your feet in a delightful citrus mint foot spa, decorated with delicate tropical flowers while the therapist exfoliates and cleanses the feet with a peppermint-infused salt scrub. Discover aromatic body glows, earth clays, robust and fragrant Borneo coffee and cocoa, aromatherapy facial treatments and rejuvenating massage techniques treated with the utmost care by our skilled spa therapists. A potpourri of indulgences that delight the senses. “To complete our menu of specialised body and beauty treatments, our ultimate Spa Rituals offer guests a range of truly exotic and delighting Chantara spa experiences. Our favoured ritual for couples is the ultimate Chanti Chanti Signature Spa Ritual - a tropical sensory experience that is exclusive to Chantara. Start with a delectable ginger, coffee and lime-mint foot feast that scrubs and buffs the feet to perfection. Then experience a luscious palm sugar and coconut body scrub to gently exfoliate and revive, followed by Chantara’s deeply hydrating mango and cocoa butter body wrap scented with jasmine and ylang ylang. Brighten and refine the skin with nature’s finest Oriental Pearl Facial, followed by a wonderfully relaxing Chantara signature massage. Finish with an indulgent scented floral bath that is the epitome of tropical bliss.” Stimulating the mind as well as the body, the spa seeks to align the natural rhythm of the body with the rhythms of nature, as Joanne is eager to highlight. “The name Chantara is inspired by the Thai language, Chan meaning moon and Tara meaning water. Fundamentally, the moon and the oceans are interlinked in a cycle that ebbs and flows – so too the natural cycles of life bring continuous change. At Chantara, we recognise these natural cycles have a transforming effect on our internal and external wellbeing. Through dedicated touch, personalised treatments and potent all natural botanical and aromatherapy ingredients, the spa aspires to guide body and mind to harmonious balance amidst a serene and relaxing ambience.” Ultimately, Chantara Spa is the ideal setting for the perfect pampering break, as Joanne is proud to conclude. “At Chantara, our hospitality goes beyond that of a conventional day spa. Our delightful, intimate space is perfect to celebrate any occasion. An imaginative spa happening is the perfect gesture for an exclusive get-together, whether it be for a birthday, a bride, a soon-to-be mother or just friends enjoying each other’s company. Whatever the occasion, the Chantara team is ever ready to create just the right event that caters to our guest’s needs and wishes. A customised pampering spa package for the group is simply the icing on the cake to make every visit and every event a truly memorable one.” Located in the heart of the idyllic island of Bali Indonesia, Biossentials Chantara Wellness & Spa has managed in less than a year to rise up the ranks to be one of the most sought after five star rated day spas in Sanur, Bali.
