July - August 2007
As we enter the second half of the year and Bali’s busiest holiday season, this tropical island is buzzing with energy and good vibes. The atmosphere is upbeat as always at The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa, with some innovative developments and plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Not least among these is news that we have been honored as one of Indonesia’s best restaurants for 2007 by Indonesia Tatler magazine. This is the second year running that we have received this award for exceptional cuisine and service since head chef Made Sukarmajaya joined the team. Well done everyone!

Made’s team has also been busy launching a healthy spa menu to augment PRANA’s award-winning international cuisine. The spa menu is focused on fresh organic meals, a perfect cleansing option after a spa session, a yoga class or after the 3 ½ or 7 ½ day intensive PRANA Detox Program we recently have launched.

Furthermore PRANA is introducing 4 new facial treatments using a new line of skin care products. “Shankara” is 100% organic and among the top 10 beauty secrets of Hollywood Celebrities according to E! If it’s good enough for them, why not the rest of us?! The Shankara Anti-Aging Facial, Oxygenating Facial, Skin Lightening Facial and Anti-bacterial Facial are all known for restoring and rejuvenating your skin from the inside out.

Speaking of new faces, we welcome Sri Pujayanti as the new appointed spa sales manager. Sri previously handled our corporate conference and events and is a great addition to PRANA.
Always plenty is happening at The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa!

General Manager


Staff Profile - I Gede Eka Irawan
Therapist at Chill Reflexology
When did you start working at Chill Reflexology?
I have been working at Chill from the very beginning. In fact, recently Chill had its third anniversary.

How did you become interested in working as a therapist?
For generations my family has been known in our local community for their healing powers. I was inspired by my grand father and my father who both still heals people through massage.

Reflexology is very technical. Did your father teach you?
No, my family is using a different technique. In Chill I went through an intensive 3 months training course, finishing with an exam in anatomy , the different pressure points and the 4 types treatments available in Chill. I had an excellent teacher who is now traveling world wide as a teacher passing on his knowledge of reflexology – He is a role model to us all in Chill.

What are your thoughts on working in Chill?
The Majority of us all started from the very beginning so we have a great team and are socially involved after work too. It is also very rewarding being able to help people with any physical problems they might have. We have many repeating guests and this is obviously an indication that our guests are happy with the service we provide here.
