Given the hectic lifestyle that most people lead, I have always believed that spa treatments are not an indulgence, but a necessity in life.

Bali is known for many things – white-sand beaches, amazing sunset spots, fantastic restaurants and bars. But Spa reigns the list as the top favourite. The next time you are in Bali, and in need of a pampering, head to Shine Spa at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort for a wholesome spa treatment.

Like what you would expect from any good spa, Shine Spa for Sheraton encourages guests to arrive early to enjoy the sauna and whirlpool prior to the treatment.

Immediately upon entering the spa, I felt at ease with light and calming music lopping in the background. My therapist was attentive to my needs, and she managed to find and relieve the tensions effortlessly. To me, a good massage is when it sends you to slumber. And that was the case at Shine Spa. I fell asleep shortly after the start of the massage, and when I woke up, my body felt so much lighter.

Not only does Shine Spa has the traditional Balinese massages, but they also have a range of signature treatments – blending from the east to the west with local Balinese touches – which include the Shine Massage (Rp 400,000/S$52 for 60 min), Shine Facial (Rp 580,000/S$75 for 60 min), Shine Body Treatment (Rp 450,000/S$58 for 60 min), and if you are there with your partner for a romantic getaway, go for the Shine for Two (Rp 420,000/S$54 for 60 min).

What makes Shine Spa for Sheraton a place you can return to again and again is that you do not have to spend a bomb for a treatment here. For a luxurious 5 star hotel spa, the prices are very affordable. Shine Spa should be at the top of your list when you are staying in the Kuta area.
