Pranalicious Chocolate Treatment-at Prana Spa

Crossing the terracotta-hued threshold of Prana (Jl Kunti 118X Seminyak, T: 0361 730840) feels like penetrating an ancient Eastern realm, such is the impact of the opulent architecture. Lotus-filled ponds and, above, a sweeping balustrade dominate a central courtyard in which the smell of cinnamon and the shadowy figures of belly dancers that are almost palpable. Upstairs, the balcony gives way to the spa; a warren of dimly lit but lavishly decorated passageways drawing you past sumptuously furnished treatment rooms and into the boudoir marking the beginning of our spa experience.

This December, Prana has just added the 'Hens Day Party' to their already eloquent spa menu of spa treatments– a delicious chocolate therapy at around two and half hours long for those ladies desiring gourmet chocolate skin care indulgence at its' finest. With the standard sea-salt foot scrub as prelude, the treatment begins with a relaxing one-hour massage delivered with grace and expertise continuing with an intense chocolate body scrub that releases its scent to stimulate the body and increase your sense of well-being before culminating in an invigorating cream bath with fruit platter and ice lemon tea. Undoubtedly, the highlight of this particular treatment, the rich chocolate scrub and subsequent body lotion leaves your skin silky soft and chocolaty smooth.

A spa treatment with a festively decadent twist the 'Hens Day Party' is priced at US$120 with 30% off during the months of December and January.
