“A rolling stone gathers no moss” is certainly the philosophy of Scallywags – who continually ‘add value’ in the form of facilities and services to their resorts on Gili Trawangan and Gili Air.

This month, Scallywags Resort will open their first purpose-built spa on Gili T: Wagwan Spa opens for business on 14 June.

‘Wagwan’ is Jamaican patois for “How are you going” and “spa” is used to reference a “friend”. So Wagwan Spa literally translates to “How are you going, friend!”

With the ocean as its muse, Wagwan Spa was created to reflect the

revitalizing and healing qualities of nature’s precious liquid energy. This inspiration is manifested in shades of calming blue and refreshing white throughout the spa.

The ocean view spa offers guests a fully air-conditioned space – necessary in the island’s tropical heat – and encompasses reception, a lifestyle retail area and small waiting lounge.

A hair spa with two hair stations is set up for luxurious cream baths and for a wash and blow-dry while the manicure, pedicure and reflexology lounge with custom-designed royal blue spherical chairs offers the very best in comfort.

Three single treatment rooms and a deluxe double treatment room for individuals or couples to share services together, provides options to suit everyone’s personal tastes.

Of course, professional training is one of the most important keys to a spa’s success and the team of therapists at Wagwan has completed two months intense training for all treatments on the spa menu from Glo Day Spa and Salon from Bali, who have been delivering excellent spa and salon services for the past 11 years. In addition, staff are fully versed in international standards of hygiene and sanitation.

Services on offer include ‘Rituals of the Face’ with facials using Biokos products, and ‘Body Rituals’ for sheer pampering and pleasure with six massage types to improve circulation, relieve stress and fight fatigue such as Balinese Massage, Indian Head Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Aligning Back Massage.

Also on offer are indulgent spa packages of scrubs and wraps, and a sensational sunburn soothing package for those caught out by the hot sun’s rays.

The Retail Corner at Wagwan sells beautifully packaged bottles of massage oil, body lotion, body wash, soaps and candles, as well as other great beauty and gift ideas including sarongs, and island life accessories (clutch bags, hats and more)

“To say I am excited about the opening of our gorgeous spa on Gili Trawangan is an understatement! This is going to be the first true spa to open on the Gili Islands,” Wagwan Spa owner, Jacky said. “We have enjoyed the journey of building and choosing the products, as well as training our lovely staff. We are very much looking forward to the 14th June with our Balinese opening ceremony in the morning and ready for spa business by 1pm. See you there, friend!”

Wagwan Spa is open every day from 10am – 10pm at Scallywags, South Beach, Gili Trawangan, Lombok.
