Industri spa di Lombok terbilang muda. Pulau ini juga terbebani oleh

posisi geografisnya yang bertetangga dengan Bali. Tapi Samantha Coomber

berhasil membuktikan, Lombok punya potensi besar untuk memikat mereka yang

memuja raga.

It’s not easy having Bali as your neighbour. With no defined spa culture of its own, Lombok’s spa industry is still in its infancy. As Samantha Coomber finds out though, the island has a huge potential to attract those who worship at the temple of the body beautiful.

l ombok’s international-standard spas are practically

all affiliated with upscale resorts and hotels. These are

predominately located along the northern and central

parts of the island’s west coast, the heart of Lombok

tourism. Day spas have yet to emerge here though and

locally-run salons aren’t up to Western standards.

This island has amazing potential however, and

Lombok’s indigenous Sasak culture is noted for its

time-honoured, home-style traditional remedies and

healing therapies. These therapies include Sasak

massage, a therapeutic massage passed down the

generations and administered only by males, as strong

pressure application is needed. Stunning, wildly

beautiful Lombok also boasts an abundance of fresh

fruits, blooms, spices, herbs, roots and rich marine

products, including renowned South Sea pearls, which

have their own medicinal and beautifying properties.

Lombok’s refreshingly original spas are increasingly

starting to incorporate the above into their remarkably

well-priced menus.

Travel Lombok

With the island’s new international airport and a

burgeoning tourism industry, more international-class

resorts and specialist spas will blossom. Moreover,

existing spas are busily upgrading and more are

opening in the island’s remoter regions, including on

the ever-popular Gili Matra (Meno, Air and Trawangan).

centralLaguna Beach Spa @ Sheraton SenGGiGi Beach reSort

As Lombok’s first luxury international brand, Sheraton

Senggigi guarantees high standards. Boasting semi-

alfresco, rustic-village stylings, Laguna Spa features

two treatment rooms and adjoining relaxation terraces

which are a pebble’s throw from the ocean. Laguna’s

extensive “high touch/low tech” approach highlights

traditional, authentic Asian treatments, combined with

innovative twists and custom-made, island-derived

organic products. Laguna’s signature Natural Heritage

Spa Packages offer traditional native treatments from

Lombok, Java and Bali that include the Lombok-coffee

body polish, Sasak massage and Sumbawa-honey body

wraps. The new outdoor balé-style treatment rooms

here are also perfect for a signature beachfront Ayus

Lomi, a four-handed massage that blends Ayurvedic

principles with Hawaiian techniques.

@ Qunci ViLLaS

The recently opened Qamboja Spa features eight

treatment rooms, plus an upstairs yoga-meditation

suite, plenty of natural woods, coconut shells and

stones, as well as soaking tubs carved from boulders.

Qamboja (which means “frangipani”) features a back-

to-nature concept and its expanded menu includes the

signature Qunci Wrap, a detoxifying body wrap that

incorporates fresh lemongrass, ginger, galangal and

rice powder, which is applied to the body and wrapped

in warmed sheets. A post-treatment glass of ginger tea

maintains body warmth. There’s also a holistic, pre-

wedding Couple Spa Experience to check out, which

incorporates traditional Sasak elements. Climbers

will appreciate the Rinjani Trekking Tonic, which will

soothe aching muscles after an ascent of Lombok’s

towering Mount Rinjani.

scenery and world-class surf breaks. The region’s

sole international-branded resort, Novotel Lombok,

is set exclusively in the dazzling Mandalika Kuta Beach

area and its In Balance Spa is the only international-

standard spa down here. In Balance Spa’s focus is

on the region’s dry, harsher climes and post-sun-and-

surf requirements. The popular Sunburn Shooter

treatment uses fresh aloe vera plucked from the

hotel’s grounds, while the Dwi Engges is a Sasak-

style, four-handed massage.

temurun dan hanya dilakukan oleh kaum pria
