The relaxing oil massage relieves muscular tension and rejuvenates the entire body system. Other favorites include facials, flower baths, and beauty treatments with organic products from the nearby jungle.
On Saturdays classes end in the afternoon, and Sundays are completely free, allowing for exciting day trips into the stunning tropical nature. The paradise island of Bali offers a great variety of breath-taking excursions. Bali is located just south of the equator and is one of the 17000 islands of Indonesia. It features lush tropical vegetation, big volcano mountains, and countless beaches with big waves and coral reefs.
Possible excursions can take you to the coast where you can enjoy surfing the famous waves of Bali. Other popular beach activities include stand up paddling, snorkeling, and diving.
