Escape to Prana Spa
 Prana Spa and Villas offers a refreshing escape from daily routine,
while also incorporating acertain element of escapism. Despite
being in the middle of Seminyak, the ambience of the spa villas -
each with a private swimming pool set in a pretty tropical garden
- is quiet, serene and restful. Meanwhile the spa itself is
a complete departure in both philosophy and design from the simple
decor and often clinical atmosphere of the traditional Zen-type spas.
A masterpiece of opulent magnificence, the 1300 square metre multi-million
dollar Prana is Asia's first Mogul inspired spa complex. Blending
the architecture, interiors and furnishings of Morocco and Rajasthan,
the spa is reminiscent of a sumptuous 16th century Indian palace,
lavishly decorated in intense colours harmonised by rich fabrics,
brass lanterns, carved wooden doors, mosaics, paintings and Persian
carpets.
