Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff in Johannesburg is hosting Indonesian specialist therapists Tiniasih and Tirmi during a month-long spa promotion this winter. In collaboration with its sister properties Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay and Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, the hotel is offering guests a choice of four traditional Balinese treatments at its spa from 9 June to 6 July 2017. Treatment prices range from R1500 to R2200.
New treatments on offer for a limited period only include:
– Batu Kali Riverstone Bathing Ritual (120 minutes): A revitalising ritual suitable for men and women that includes a nourishing herbal application for the hair and scalp, invigorating river stone scrub to revive tired skin and a soothing Balinese massage with coconut oil and freshly grated ginger paste to ease and warm the body. The treatment is inspired by the Balinese tradition of river bathing that combines ritual with a sense of community. After a long day in the fields, villagers would gather in the water to swap stories, laugh, sing and scrub and massage away the stresses of the day using smooth stones from the river.
– Traditional Balinese Massage (75/90 minutes): The techniques used in this healing treatment have been passed down the generations. Therapists use long strokes, gentle skin rolling, deep kneading and foot reflexology during the treatment.
– Kundalini Back Massage (75 minutes): A nurturing treatment that aims to restore the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Focused massage and healing activate and channel the Kundalini (dormant energy at the base of the spine), releasing tension and negativity and encouraging a state of balance and awareness. Ideal for jetlag and overall soothing.
– Lulur Jimbaran Scrub (120 minutes): A luxurious body scrub that is said to be the beauty secret of Javanese royalty introduced to Bali. It consists of a gentle, aromatic exfoliation and skin-softening treatment, followed by a hydrating floral bath, therapeutic herbal Jamu and Balinese massage.
To extend the exotic experience, the hotel’s culinary team has created a Balinese-inspired lunch menu served at the rooftop Après Spa lounge and Westcliff Deli. Dishes include Sate Lilit Bali (lightly spiced chicken and beef satay) with Balinese green beans and steamed basmati rice and Pisang Goreng (batter fried banana with vanilla ice cream). A sharing platter for two includes a main course and dessert for R395.
The spa features nine treatment rooms including a deluxe couple’s suite, relaxation lounge overlooking the outdoor infinity lap pool, reception lounge with range of Biologique Recherche, Omorovicza and Terres d’Afrique products and Yswara teas, and men and women’s changing rooms each with sauna and steam room.
