HELLO BALI - OCTOBER 2003
Asia's First Mogul Inspired Spa
Following the lines of classical Mogul architecture, the inspiration
for Prana comes from the sumptuous palaces built by the Mogul rulers
in the 16th century; while the spectacular interiors are based on
the lavish furnishings, textiles, mosaics, paintings and carvings
found in the great palaces of India’s Maharaja’s. The
design team, lead by renowned New Zealand sculptor Stephen Hall,
traveled to Rajasthan to hand-pick many of the furnishings including
beautiful carpets, brass lanterns, carved wooden doors and Indian
silk paintings. Over 120 local artists and craftsmen have been engaged
to replicate the intricate details and facets of a Mogul palace.
The 1,300 square metre Prana Spa incorporates a
full variety of spa features including 24 massage rooms (single and
double) 1 hot and 2 cold plunge pools, 4 rain shower massage rooms,
2 sauna rooms and 3 steam rooms, as well as separate areas for reflexology
and beauty treatments.
