What is a typical Balinese massage

A typical Balinese massage is a form of traditional Indonesian massage that is characterized by its use of long strokes, skin rolling, and pressure-point stimulation. The massage is performed using a blend of oils, and often incorporates elements of aromatherapy and music to create a calming and relaxing environment. 

Balinese massage is based on the principles of traditional Balinese healing practices, and is designed to balance the body's energy flow and improve overall wellbeing. During a Balinese massage, the therapist will use their hands, fingers, and elbows to apply pressure to the muscles and tissues, helping to release tension and promote relaxation.

In addition to the physical benefits of the massage, many people also find that Balinese massage has a calming and soothing effect on their mind and emotions. This is due in part to the use of aromatic essential oils and the gentle, rhythmic movements of the massage.

What to expect from a Luxury Wellbeing Holiday

A Luxury Wellbeing Holiday is a type of vacation that combines luxurious accommodations and high-end amenities with a focus on Spa, Health & Wellbeing. This type of holiday is designed for travelers who are looking to enhance their physical and mental well-being while indulging in a luxurious five star environment. Much of those place are so called 'Destination spas': hotels or resorts that focus on health and wellbeing. They offer tailor-made wellbeing programs with different themes and goals that include (holistic or medical) assessments, body and facial treatments, complementary therapies, healthy (dietary) food, exercise and (holistic) activities. These programs will be tailored to your individual needs and will always include several treatments. Besides nurturing you, a destination spa aims to help you to achieve a healthier lifestyle. To do so, a healthy lifestyle is implemented in all aspects of your stay. A destination spa serves tasty healthy food and little or no alcohol. They organize various (holistic and sports) activities during the week such as yoga, meditation, pranayama or fitness classes. They may also offer workshops on personal development or mental coaching. Some may choose to only have hotel rooms without tv’s, to ensure you can fully relax and focus on your well-being. The goal of a luxury wellbeing escape is to provide travelers with a rejuvenating experience that promotes balance and relaxation, leaving them feeling refreshed and revitalized. These types of holidays are usually more expensive than regular holidays but offer a more personalized and upscale approach to wellbeing and relaxation.
