Lombok's #1 Tourism Magazine
Tucked away in Kerandangan Valley, just five minutes north of Senggigi, is a serene Spa Resort that has quietly been picking up international awards for the past couple of years.
Puri Mas Boutique Resorts has the only dedicated Spa Resort in Lombok and has been awarded a number of prestigious awards, including Best Spa for Couples at the Condé Nast Johansens ‘Luxury Spa Awards 2015’ and, most recently, The Best Luxury Boutique Spa – South East Asia and The Best Hideaway Spa – Continental Asia at the ‘World Luxury Spa Awards’ in July this year.
Hidden behind the carved wooden doors at Puri Mas Spa Resort is a surprising sanctuary that exudes a sense of peace and calm; almost as if you have entered another world.
Beautifully maintained gardens and large stretches of green lawns are dotted with cages of exotic birds, statues and objet d’art collected over many years of travelling by resort owner, Marcel De Rijk.
In the centre of the garden is an inviting swimming pool surrounded by sun lounges and pretty table settings where you can spend some time soaking up the sun or enjoying a delicious meal in the peaceful setting.
Alongside the pool are charming villas where guests may choose to stay for a few days, enjoying the tranquillity of the resort. Each ornate villa has been lovingly decorated with antiques, while still offering all mod cons such as air conditioning, WiFi and satellite television.
Within the grounds are a number of hidden sanctuaries for taking some private time out, with elaborate gazebos for lounging and reading and, of course, the outstanding spa facilities.
Set in a secluded garden beneath the large hill at the rear of the property, a number of purpose-built pavilions offer a wide selection of beauty and body treatments.
The resort uses (and retails) the luxurious and purely organic Babor brand of spa products from Germany. Rejuvenating treatments include re-mineralising body wraps of mulberry silk and pearl shell, cellulite fighting treatments with Babor Ultimate 3D products, anti-aging massages using white almond and elderberry blossoms, and indulgent facial treatments to minimise fine lines, clear complexions and boost collagen in tired skin.
These holistic treatments are on offer alongside traditional treatments such as the heavenly Mandi Lulur, the body scrub favoured by Indonesian royalty, as well as acupressure and aromatherapy massages, reflexology, shiatsu, and more modern treatments such as hair waxing, manicures and pedicures, and other hand, feet and nail care treatments.
All spa guests, including those not staying at the Puri Mas Resorts, are invited to make use of the resort facilities as part of their spa experience.
Spend some time relaxing by the pool before or after treatments. Order lunch or dinner, or fresh juices and snacks, served in a pavilion or by the pool. Walk in the magical gardens, filled with gorgeous antiques and collectibles, and meditate in the “Temple of Peace”.
For a special occasion, you can also book an authentic Indonesian feast in one of the romantic Javanese Pavilions. Enjoy an intimate dinner with private butler service in your own magical pavilion, surrounded by ponds and glowing candles.
For guests wanting to spend some time in this hidden sanctuary, Puri Mas offers complimentary transport to and from Senggigi and Mangsit. Phone for bookings: (0370) 693831.
