		HOME           | monthly reviews .   lies in the heart of Seminyak and was one of the first of its kind in the area. A hotel comprised of luxurious private villas, it set a precedent in hospitality for the then sleepy little village. Expanded, now The Villas Bali includes the renowned Prana Spa and Chill Reflexology. The hotel is still one of the loveliest in the area. Comprised of 50 private 1, 2 and 3-bedroom villas, each with a swimming pool, the compound is tucked away yet within easy walking distance of Seminyak’s many attractions. Villas are beautifully appointed, with all the modern conveniences one expects in a boutique hotel. Each has a kitchen so is also ideal for the long-term guest or families. The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa offers destination packages that allow guests to enjoy both the hotel and the many treatments available at the spas. The award-winning Prana Spa is unique on a spa-filled island. Modeled on the ancient palaces of the Moghuls, the Spa is pure fantasy; gorgeous Persian and Indian carpets, walls drenched in the colors of the desert. The facilities are phenomenal; the staff is well-trained and extremely professional. Both Prana Spa and Chill Reflexology are favorites with local residents and expatriates as well; many come for yoga classes, spa treatments or just to enjoy a drink or meal at the Prana Restaurant. Throughout the year, The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa offers packages that range from “The 3-Night Recharge” - 3 nights in a private villa and spa treatments every day - to the lavish “7-Night Restore”. For an entire week, guests are pampered every day in the Prana Spa and Chill Reflexology, while enjoying calm and serenity in their private villa. Naturally, there are special packages for honeymooners as well. Also offered are Yoga Retreats and a Yoga Detoxification program. All yoga classes are held at Prana Spa; the detox includes a supervised comprehensive cleansing program. A Smoking Cessation Treatment will soon be introduced. This month’s Easter Package features not just 2 nights in a private villa, but Easter Brunch and a special “Easterlicious Chocolate Treatment” at Prana Spa for two people. There is a comprehensive treatment menu: Turkish Delight includes a Hamam (Turkish steam bath), immersion in hot and cold plunge pools, massage and a cream bath. It is available for men and women. There is a dedicated “Male Package” as well, that includes a facial and specially-designed deep pressure massage. Other treatments are based on Ayurvedic healing, like the Prana ReBalance and the Ayurvedic Simple Bliss. The latter features Shirodhara, warmed, herb-infused oil gently poured onto the forehead for an extended period of time. This treatment induces feelings of calm and is intended to open the Third Eye Chakra, bringing one to a higher level of consciousness. It must be experienced. Chill Reflexology presents treatments for head/shoulder/back in a modern setting – as wonderful as any other treatments. While the Villas Bali Hotel & Spa are undeniably luxurious, the establishment is also beautifully integrated into the community; locals love the spa services, yoga classes, gift shop and restaurant. Guests can leave their villas and be on the dynamic streets of Seminyak within minutes. This is an ideal place to be, on Bali.
