We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Sepik Signature Massage at The Gaia Hotel Bandung, a 120-minute therapy that promises to rejuvenate the body from head to toe. Available from 3 September 2024, this holistic treatment is designed to enhance well-being, aid muscle recovery, and deliver profound relaxation. As we embarked on this wellness journey together, we discovered that every step of the process was meticulously crafted to offer a deeply restorative experience.
The Experience Begins: Grounding and Stretching
From the moment we entered the spa, the serene ambiance set the tone for what was to come. Our experience started with a grounding foot ritual, where our feet were cleansed with salt and lime. This symbolic gesture not only refreshed us physically but also mentally, preparing us for the rest of the therapy.
Following the foot ritual, we were guided through stretch therapy. This part of the treatment was designed to release tension in muscles we didn’t even realize we had, while improving blood circulation. It was the perfect introduction to the comprehensive care that would follow.
Deep Relaxation: The Core of the Treatment
At the heart of the Sepik Signature Massage, we were treated to a combination of deep tissue massage, warm herbal compresses, and an aromatherapy massage. As our therapists applied thumb and palm pressure, we felt our bodies gradually easing into a deep state of relaxation. The combination of techniques worked in perfect harmony to relieve tension, leaving us feeling both physically and mentally lighter.
What made the experience even more special was the face acupressure that followed. This technique targeted specific points to release facial tension and enhance our overall sense of well-being. Each of us felt the difference as stress seemed to melt away with every touch.
A Perfect Conclusion: Bath Therapy
As the treatment drew to a close, we were invited to relax further with a soothing bath therapy. This final step allowed us to completely unwind, soaking in the warm water and savoring the lingering scents of the aromatherapy oils. It was the perfect end to a deeply rejuvenating experience.
The name Sepik is inspired by the Sepik River, one of the last remaining untouched natural environments in the world. Just as this river flows through unspoiled landscapes, the Sepik Signature Massage embodies a commitment to natural healing, using all-natural products and promoting long-term wellness.
Via Gaia: A Path to Wellness
Beyond the massage, we were also introduced to Via Gaia, The Gaia Hotel’s new gym membership program. Designed for local residents seeking a premium fitness experience, this program offers access to a state-of-the-art gym, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and a variety of fitness classes. As members, we would also enjoy exclusive discounts on rooms, dining, and of course, spa treatments like the Sepik Signature Massage.
The name "Via" reflects the idea of a path, and that’s exactly what Via Gaia represents—a route to experience the best The Gaia Hotel has to offer. Whether you're looking to stay active or indulge in deep relaxation, Via Gaia ensures that every visit is a well-rounded experience.
