Ladies, how often do you get to indulge yourself with a massage or a manicure and come with the feeling really place? I sometimes find that when I go to a spa and have a treatment, I just feel dissatisfied with the lack of attention given to me compared to how much I had to pay in the end. However, my last spa experience was a nice change from the norm and true relaxation at Bale-Bale Cikajang in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.
This traditional spa feels in its rules and methods and is marketed as "Your private sanctuary," in part because no men are allowed in the premises. When you enter the retreat, the constraints of the city seem to disappear into its wooden interiors naturally decorated with beautiful batik draped everywhere and feature continuous curtain of rain water trickles keep you calm and relaxed. A quiet and pristine tropical garden is attached to the back of the spa for guests to look out on having treatment and wonders for the mind and soul.
The prices are very reasonable compared to other spas in the city of the same caliber. A traditional Creambath will cost you Rp.75,000 and one hour full body massage only Rp.125,000. I lived a Totok Wajah , which is a traditional face, head, neck and shoulder massage followed by a mask Bengkuang (yam) and fresh strawberries. My therapist worked all the tension in my head and face and the mask left my skin soft and rejuvenated, not to mention the smell edible. After that, I was treated to a hair wash and blow, where all the attention was given to me and there was no feeling of being rushed.
A popular treatment Bale-Bale Cikajang is the traditional Lulur or body scrub, which was used by Javanese princesses for centuries to keep their skin " kuning langsat "(approximately translates to" a nice yellow light "), implying a lawyer, green tea or ginseng milk strawberry that softens and moisturizes your skin from head to toe. hair removal sugar wax and thread is also available here at very competitive prices and a VIP room for groups of four are available if you are looking for a more private experience with close friends.
And there are friends who put together the spa, including the popular actress Rianti Cartwright, a British half beauty, which is the main face behind the company. A spa-lover herself, she met four of his friends to open a shop in the convenient location of Jl. Cikajang and positioning, as well as its reputation, proved to be a success at a young age of six months. More than a freshly brewed jamu (remedy traditional herbal), she said: "Our main goal is to provide our customers with authentic Indonesian experience, affordable and satisfying spa that will keep them coming back for more. Being an actress helped me promote my business a little - I'm guilty of bombarding my and other social media accounts with information about the spa on a daily basis. I'm a little ashamed, but he made some customers! "
A nice cafe called 'Frangipani' (because of the fragrant tree at the door) will open soon providing Salads, Sandwiches, Granola and even an English breakfast to hungry customers Rianti told me.: "We wanted to open a coffee because we were sorry to all the guys who would drop their wives and girlfriends and wait outside for hours for them!" These guys will now be able to enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat while browsing the web - just not sneak gents please
