Spa (A More Favorable Fitness Facility)

    AS ONE OF THE FORM of fitness facility wihich has appear more in big cities today, spa has also appear as one of the facility of an international class hotel. The usual spa which are located in cities are a little different from the ones built in hotel or resort. The main factor which differentiate them are the facility which are more complete and the atmosphere created.

    

   The concept of a spa is a series of relaxation and body care. In order to fulfill these a spa would have to have a fitness gynasium, an aerobic room, sauna, a cold and hot whirlpool and a massage parlor. These relaxation series not only need funtional rooms, but also other facility ties like salon for hair and body treatment. In some resorts located in tourism area, spa is built with out-door fitness, swimming pool even a special in for the coming guests. 

  In Four Season Resort, Jimbaran Bali, spa is the one of the latest facility which attracts more and more guests as we speak. The spa provides various sport facility such as tennis court, fitness room, gymnasium and aerobic. Sauna, massage, body masque, and salon aside a traditional whirlpool. These facilities are considered different from the spa located in big cities, because the spa located in resorts doesn’t necessarily require pool.

            

  The appearance is an entirely set of building located not far from the hotel’s lobby. The rooms are designed professionally by an interior consultant and built by local handicraftsmen, creating a comfortable and cozy atmosphere for the guests. Lobby, herbal drinks (jamu)counter, fitness room, gymnasium and coordinating office are on one side. While the salon for body masque and massage and the waiting room are on the other side of the building. The rooms are attractively decorated with colors and combination of modern and traditional form and material.

           

  The room designs are a part of the relaxation which can be enjoyed by the waiting guests. The spa activity which usually take along enough time does appear to be an attractive exercise for the resort’s guests, especially because it introduces body masque, jamu and Balinese traditional aroma therapy.
