Spa Village Tembok

A serene hideaway in wonderfully remote northern Bali where you can watch pods of dolphins as the sun goes down. This sister property to Pangkor Laut in Malaysia is utterly unpretentious and authentic, but with a crack team of know-how therapists and deliciously inventive food. Staff and guests alike speak in hushed tones and everything in the spa is 100 per cent natural while still being wowingly effective – sandalwood facials, honey masks, aloe vera moisturiser that leaves tired skin glowing and deeply warming ginger-oil massages. Despite the hotel’s eco-rustic undertones, the details are excitingly up-to-the-minute.
