Dewi Sri Spa by Martha Tilaar
Review by SA
Over the Chinese New Year holidays, I checked out Dewi Sri Spa located in Plaza Damas. Ambience-wise, it's very nice inside and generally follows the whole Balinese theme. The receptionist and staff are very friendly and courteous. It appears however that one would have to communicate in BM/Indonesian generally, which might pose a problem for non-local patrons.
The interior is beautifully done. The reception area leads into a sort of courtyard with plants and a water feature. There are stairs leading to massage rooms upstairs. The massage room I was ushered into was nicely lit to just the right level of brightness (ie. not too bright, but not so dark that you end up accidentally stepping into the footbath, either!)
I opted for the lavender aromatherapy massage. Interestingly, the massage began with the masseuse scenting her hands with lavender essential oil and placing it directly under the massage table, at the spot where my head was resting. The lovely scent of lavender wafted up, which was really relaxing. The massage itself was great, if a little strong at first (I had to ask her to lighten her touch a little). The soft strains of gamelan music in the background also added a lot to the whole experience.
To top it off, a spicy hot cup of ginger tea was served after the massage, which my cousin and I sipped out in the mini-courtyard amidst the sounds of rippling water. I think I'll definitely check out some of the other treatments the next time.
