Epicure (Indonesia)

Age-old tradition

Plataran Canggu Bali Resort & Spa takes you on a peaceful journey to the heart of the island.

-

The healing power of nature is apparent when you stay at Plataran Canggu Bali Resort & Spa. Situated on the fringe of the island’s happening neighbourh­ood, the all-villa boutique resort offers an intimate hideaway to rest and relax in complete privacy. The resort is adorned with antiques and Indonesia’s architectu­ral heritage such as the 250-year-old wooden joglo reception. During your stay, you are encouraged to stroll and explore the verdant landscape designed by the late Made Wijaya.

Wake up to the sound of twittering birds and join the morning yoga session at the Aurora Deck. Kick-start the day with a nourishing breakfast at Plataran at Canggu restaurant, followed by a leisurely dip in your private plunge pool or a rejuvenati­ng treatment at Padma Spa.

Deriving its name from Sanskrit which means the ‘sacred lotus’, the spa’s wellness treatment is created from Indonesia’s heritage rituals and ingredient­s. Aromatic herbs such as coriander, lemon and ylang-ylang are concocted to form the Prana Elixir, Padma Spa’s signature massage oil. You can give one of the four Padma Spa Signature treatments a try.

The 150-minute Padma Matcha Paramita aims to hydrate your skin and alleviate muscle tension through a foot bath, massage, facial, green tea and avocado exfoliatio­n, and relaxing herbal soak.

If you wish to experience off the-beaten-track’s side of Bali, join the Plataran’s Encounters activities. From learning the art of jamu concoction making to being purified through a melukat ritual, find enriching activities during your stay. The melukat ritual is considered to be an act of letting go. The Encounters takes you to Keraban Langit Temple, and through the medium of holy natural spring water, purges yourself of negative energy and find the peace within.
