A lush secluded river valley situated in the physical and spiritual heart of Bali, offers an astoundingly beautiful setting in which to create a spa.
The award winning Spa at Maya houses a cluster of enchanting, double and single, thatched treatment pavilions that are dramatically suspended on a steep cliff side, seemingly defying gravity. Fringed by verdant jungle foliage, the canopied bathtub in each pavilion literally overhangs the swirling waters of the Petanu River as it carves its way through the narrow valley below.
After descending into this serene haven by the considerate means of an outdoor elevator, guests have the opportunity to enjoy a refinancing and enriching experience that will ease fatigue, stimulate the senses and awaken the spirit. Removed from the world and totally encompassed by raw nature; local materials and natural colours have been blended to harmonize with the peaceful environment.

Massage and aromatherapy are combined with a choice of the finest 100 per cent essential oils; the exotic signature blend being an intoxicating combination of lavender, tangerine and cananga Massage therapies include the 90-minute Harmony Duo, a four hand massage with two therapists working in tandem and employing special techniques to revitalize tired muscles and improve blood circulation.
