The rainy season looks to be finally coming to an end and Bali is preparing for its busiest time of the year in the next few months, when the milder weather and extended holidays bring together travellers from all around the world for sun, sand, surf, pampering, divine food, spectacular scenery and culture, and more.
As always, all of us at Prana are continually coming up with ways to enhance your experience on this magical island, and towards this end we have introduced several new treatments at both Prana Spa and Chill and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on them. Hopefully you'll love them as much as we do! We have also put together special packages to honour Golden Week and welcome our Japanese visitors at this time, as we always love an opportunity to reward our guests!
Some wise person once said laughter is the best remedy and we couldn't agree more, so we recently held a Laughter Yoga workshop which left everyone in stitches…literally! Not the painful kind of course! Read more about this amazing workshop in our special feature, and keep an eye out for the next one.
A good laugh really is infectious. We certainly can't wipe the smiles off our faces as we take great satisfaction in providing an unrivalled level of service to our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to Prana soon.

They call it Golden Week in Japan , but here at Prana we like to think of it as Golden Month and we have created a special spa giveaway and restaurant menu to celebrate. After all, there is much to venerate, starting with the birthday of Emperor Hirohito (Showa Day, April 29) to the promulgation of the constitution (Constitutional Memorial Day, May 3), the environment (Greenery Day, May 4), and children's happiness (Children's Day, May 5). This week-long annual event is the most popular national holiday for our Japanese guests, and it's the perfect excuse to indulge in Prana's hedonistic delights.

At Prana Restaurant, chef Made has created a romantic four-course Golden Week seafood dinner (US35++ per person) including Australian wine. Starting with a creamy prawn bisque followed by a salmon Nicoise salad with miso dressing, the seafood theme continues with a sumptuous platter of grilled king pr awns, snapper fillets, calamari and baby lobster served with jasmine rice and sautéed Asian greens. The warm chocolate fondant completes a decadent dining experience – with few people able to resist licking their plate completely clean of the wickedly rich sauce!

Congratulations to Nicholas Martin for winning our Chill lucky draw recently, held for guests who generously offered their feedback on how we can enhance our spa services. Nicholas was one of many guests to be entered into the draw after providing us with their comments on what treatments they would like to see added to our menu. |
It is now a proven fact: laughter and exercise do mix! Prana recently held a very successful Laughter Yoga workshop in association with Bali Spirit and Indian physician Dr Madan Kataria, who founded the practice.

Prana introduced an intensive detox program late last year and it has proved a resounding success, with many testimonials from participants who felt completely cleansed, refreshed and bursting with good health after completing the week-long program. Here is a diary from one participant, yoga instructor Maya Strange, on how she felt during and after the program. |
