Indonesia's timeless traditions of natural therapies for health and beauty have blossomed into a fully fledged industry and their increasing fame is now attracting therapists from around the world.

This marriage of local and imported therapies has resulted in a new attraction for holiday makers - fully fledged spas designed to soothe the body, spirit and soul.

Traditional salons have existed in Bali for many generations, offering treatments that heal most ailments from sexual impotence to acne.

Pioneers, like the now familiar Nyonya Meneer, have brought a level of legitimacy to the jamu industry in Indonesia by commercializing the products that formerly were well guarded secrets passed from mother to daughter.

These salons still exist in every corner of the island, offering massage, cream baths, lulur exfoliation treatments, manicure, pedicure and many more. They are extremely popular with the locals and more recently with visitors.

As word of these wonderful, natural treatments spread, some of the more exclusive hotels began to include them in their spa plans. The idea has now come full circle and professional spa consultants are creating world class facilities that owe much to the local culture.

One of the most sumptuous spas in Bali is spa at The Villas in Seminyak. Offering 40 individual private villas in luxury furnishings. The spa at The Villas combines the traditions of the royal palace court bath of Yogyakarta and the old Moorish harems to create an exotic center of health, beauty and rejuvenation.

The list of the best Spa on the island is here...
