Try & Tested
I tried the Royal Touch spa package, but instead of the Inner Radiance massage, I opted for their signature Ocean Flow massage. The Ocean Flow massage is one of the best massages ever. Unlike most massages that focus on one area of your body at a time, the Ocean Flow Massage focuses on your whole body from head to toe at once. The combination of languid, rhythmical strokes and firm acupressure akin to the movement of ocean waves will definitely blow your mind and pamper your senses. With full-hand pressure and aromatherapy it will make you feel relaxed and calm. After the relaxing massage, the treatment continues with a lulur exfoliation to get rid of dead skin cells, and nourishes into your pores. My skin felt so smooth. It is also good to improve blood circulation. Then it is time for the body masque with natural yogurt to moisturise the skin. The treatment ends with a relaxing petal bath to soak away the stress. The warm water melts the tension away, while the candles and aromatherapy bring about a real sense of deep relaxation.

I tried the signature massage. It is a very relaxing massage that soothes away all the tired muscles. The therapist seemed to know the exact place where my body is tired and whisked the tired muscles away. This massage is so relaxing and I drifted of the seventh heaven. After the massage I feel so relax and calm and it took me a few minutes to come back from the blissful state of mind.

I often get compliment on my skin, and I always thought that although my skin is not perfect, but it is okay, but the whole thing change the moment I visited Vietura. Upon arriving, we were taken to a consultation room where our skin was being carefully examine by a machine. And the result shocked me. To my horror, I was told that my skin was dehidrated, aged much older than my real age was, and that I would developed spots on my face soon due to over exposure of sun. That really surprised me, and I listened in disbelieved as the person explained to me what I should do to prevent my skin from pre-mature aging. At first I was in denial, and though that there must be something wrong and that my skin is fine. But fast forward a couple of months later, I started to notice that there are spots on my cheek. That makes me realise that beauty is not a skin deep, and a visit to Vieture (although to be honest the truth sometimes hurt), it is important to check and know the real condition of our skin in order for us to take some precausion thing.
On my visit, I tried the Facial Skin Spa, not like any other facial, this gentle facial treatment really cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates skin. My facial includes a micro exfoliation - microdermabrasion treatment that uses an alternative to diamond tipped wands to treat skin imperfections, minor acne scars and pigmentation, and revive collagen growth; and a oxygen infusion facial - a treatment breathes new life into your skin with vitamins and minerals and bursts of pure oxygen to make your skin plumper, firmer and brighter.
The result of this facial skin spa is amazing, as I can immediately see after the treatmemt that my complexion is refreshed, rejuvenated and glowing.

The ultimate couple’s treatment and a definite must-try is the Jayaprana and Layonsari Couples Ritual. I chose it because I like the treatments, only later did I find out that this much more than just a ritual. The Jayaprana & Layonsari couple’s ritual is based on Bali’s own epic love story. In fact, the floral designs and representations of nature throughout Heavenly Spa represent an epic Balinese love story quite like Romeo and Juliet. After reading the love story, my partner and I were eager to experience the ritual.
Prior to our treatment, we enjoyed the steam room and salt sauna. My favourite is the hydro pool where I can just relax and let the water pressure massage me. The restorative power of water has been used for centuries as a healing medium. It’s a great way to relax and warm your muscles, aiding the therapeutic benefits of your treatments and services. After a warm shower, I headed to the relaxation lounge where my partner and I waited for our therapists.
Our 180-minuts loving ritual began with the traditional burning of Balinese incense to bless loved ones. An invigorating scrub using Balinese sea salt was followed by an elemental cleansing wrap with locally sourced seaweed, and while we were wrapped up, our therapists gave us an indulgent scalp massage. After a quick shower, we dozed off under the expert hands of the therapists as they have us a full-body deep-tissue oil massage. The ritual ended with a nourishing Dedari facial, said to induce the kind of rapture that overtook Jayaprana when he first laid eyes on Layonsari.
