Wellness Tips
Make the most of your wellness experience.
Book resort spa treatments at least 1–2 days in advance during July–August peak season
Many budget massage centres in Senggigi and Mataram offer excellent quality at very low prices — don't assume price equals quality
Traditional Javanese lulur scrubs work best after a day in the sun — the warm skin absorbs the spice and coconut paste beautifully
Stay hydrated with electrolyte-rich coconut water throughout spa treatments — the tropical heat amplifies dehydration effects of heat therapies
Morning yoga before 9 AM is far more pleasant in Lombok's climate than afternoon sessions
