    July 10, 2012

    Indonesia :Karma Resorts has launched its Goddess Island Retreats, addressing the growing demand for luxurious and revitalizing shared vacation and wellness experiences.

    The Goddess Island Retreat’s 3 night/4 day lush programs offer resort guests a myriad of experiences including daily yoga, transformative and specialist healer sessions, a menu of sublime massages, martini & manicure nights, celebrity oxygen facials and a personal driver for a half-day shopping spree.”A growing trend in travel, Celebration Travel is a niche market of women traveling together for special birthdays, bridal showers and reunions.

    Retreats are integral to Karma Spa and utilizing an expansive network of acclaimed yogis, personal growth practitioners, healers, fitness instructors and facilitators, our Goddess Island Retreats are based on the philosophy that pleasure, especially shared, makes whatever you are celebrating just that much more special,” said Karma Spa Director, Judy Chapman.

    As well as treatments, yoga and fitness classes, the Goddess Island Retreats offer rejuvenating wellness cuisine including immune boosting and detoxifying juices and smoothies to further enhance the guest’s sense of health and wellbeing.

    Our “Gods” need not miss out. Karma Spa has recently launched a new Karma Men spa menu, offering results-orientated and de-stress experiences as well as a special Pinot & Pedicures package.

    To ensure the Retreat rejuvenation promise is delivered in full, Karma Spa’s team of bodyworkers train under the guidance of certified sports massage therapists, Chinese medicine practitioners, reflexologists and healers, to impart deeply therapeutic experiences. They have received Level 1 Reiki training and are certified to deliver 100% hygienic and fabulous manicures and pedicures. All Karma Spa products and treatments are made from ingredients sourced from ethical & sustainable farmers & growers.

    “The Karma Spa experience is totally unique and is at the cutting edge of the wellness travel trend.” says John Spence, Chairman of Karma Resorts.

    “We combine all that one would expect to find at a top, 5-star Asian spa, along with many things one would not; such as health, fitness and beauty programs led by international sportspeople, star make-up artists and celebrated healers. Our focus is to deliver holistic and transformative experiences to our guests at our Karma Resorts and beyond.”
