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 the Spa, there is a truly Golden opportunity to enjoy two rejuvenating treatments for the price of one. All guests who try our new Natural Skin Lightener between April 19 and May 15 will receive a free ‘Classic' one-hour reflexology treatment to target muscle aches and boost circulation.

The Skin Lightener itself is more than a cosmetic procedure, it is a sublimely relaxing session that starts with an invigorating body scrub using coconut milk mixed with 100 percent natural whitening compounds such as mangosteen, licorice root, yam bean, rose hip oil, magnesium silicate, ginger and mandarin. While a mask and body wrap then work their magic, our therapist will perform a soothing face and scalp massage, before finishing with a full body one-hour massage using a rich botanical whitening lotion. It is a heavenly experience on its own; the bonus of the free reflexology session at a time convenient to you makes it an offer too good to refuse.

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 prawns, 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!
