An Oasis Sans Men

Ladies, how often do you get to pamper yourselves using a massage or manicure along with also also come away feeling truly unwound? I sometimes find in which when I do go to a spa along with also also have a treatment, I come away feeling unsatisfied at the lack of attention I was given in relation to how much I had to fork out from the end. My latest spa experience however, was a delightful change via the norm along with also also a truly relaxing one at Bale-Bale Cikajang in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

This particular spa feels traditional in its Inner surface along with also also its methods along with also also can be marketed as ‘Your Private Sanctuary’, partly because no men are allowed from the premises. When you enter This particular retreat, the stresses of the city seem to fade away into its naturally decorated wood interiors with gorgeous batik draped everywhere along with also also its rain curtain water feature continuously trickles keeping you calm along with also also relaxed. A tranquil along with also also immaculate tropical garden can be set at the back of the spa for guests to look out onto when having treatments along with also also works wonders for the mind along with also also soul.

The prices are extremely reasonable compared to various other spas from the city of the same calibre. A traditional Creambath will only set you back Rp.75,000 along with also also an hour Full Body Massage only Rp.125,000. I experienced a Totok Wajah, which can be a traditional face, head, neck along with also also shoulders massage followed by a mask made of Bengkuang (yam) along with also also fresh strawberries. My therapist worked all the tension out of my head along with also also face, along with also also the mask left my skin feeling soft along with also also rejuvenated, not to mention smelling edible. After This particular I was treated to a hair wash along with also also blow, where full attention was given to me along with also also there was no feeling of being rushed.

A well-liked treatment at Bale-Bale Cikajang can be the Traditional Lulur or Body Scrub, which has been used by Javanese princesses for centuries to keep their skin “kuning langsat” (roughly translates into “a pleasing light yellow”), along with also also This particular involves an avocado, green tea or strawberry ginseng milk which softens along with also also moisturizes your skin via top to toe. Sugar waxing along with also also threading can be also available here at very competitive prices along with also also a VIP room for groups of four can be available should you be looking for an even more private experience with close friends.

along with also also in which was friends in which put This particular spa together, including the well-liked actress Rianti Cartwright, a half British beauty, who can be the main face behind This particular venture. A spa-lover herself, she gathered four of her friends to open shop from the convenient location of Jl. Cikajang along with also also its positioning, as well as her fame, has proven to be a success at its young age of six months. Over a freshly brewed jamu (traditional herbal remedy) she tells me, “Our main focus can be to provide our customers with an authentically Indonesian, affordable along with also also satisfying spa experience in which will keep them coming back for more. Being an actress has helped me promote my business a little – I am guilty of bombarding my Twitter along with also also various other social media accounts with information about the spa on a daily basis. I’m a bit ashamed of in which, although in which has brought in a few customers!”

A cosy café named ‘Frangipani’ (due to the fragrant tree on its doorstep) will open soon providing Salads, Sandwiches, Granola along with also also even an English Breakfast to its hungry customers. Rianti tells me, “We wanted to open a café because we felt sorry for all the guys in which could drop their wives along with also also girlfriends off along with also also wait outside for hours for them!” These guys will today be able to enjoy a coffee along with also also a bite to eat while browsing the web – just no peeking please gents!
