We booked our 4 hour Honeymoon package at Boutique Spa Sekar Jagat over the internet (spa’s own website) which gives you a bit of a discount on their rates. We didn’t have to pay for it in advance - it was just to book an appointment; we received an email confirmation from the owner the next day with all details of pick up etc and were all set.

Our driver was on time and at the spa we were greeted by the staff and the owner, discussed the details of our package (we made some changes to it, e.g. a head & shoulder massage & reflexology instead of manicure/pedicure - no extra fees for that) & meal (I requested a vegetarian one and it wasn’t a problem).

The treatment we had was just the most incredible & relaxing 4 hours! As a couple we had a lovely private room with two beds, all in Balinese style & decorations, and took the blossom bath together which was very romantic. Our masseuses were very professional and gave us both great treatments. At the end of our treatment we had our meal and even though the website says it’s a ‘light meal’ - for us it was a proper filling dinner, real big portions and delicious!

After that the driver took us back to our hotel. All in all we had a really good time in Boutique Spa Sekar Jagat and would recommend it to anyone; I believe especially the couples would find the Honeymoon package real romantic and also a great value!

The English spa term derives from the name of the famous health resort Spa in Belgium. This town rich of mineral springs was founded in the 14th century and sources trace back the naming of Spa to the Germanic word for spouting. During 18th and 19th century Spa got a lot of prosporous visitors and became a synonym for mineral springs and medicinal bath. That time also many British tourists visited Spa to have healing bath treatments and so the word found entrance into the English-speaking area. End of the 20th century the meaning of spa extended to wellness centers near a source of mineral water and to health areas of hotel resorts.

There is also an - often heard - argument that the word spa is actually an acronym based on the Latin phrase “sanitas per aquas” (“health through waters”) but there are no reliable sources to verify this. In fact the word spa was never used in the Latin culture and in  the new-latin languages it is called “termae” (”terme” in Italian), therefore the acronym very likely is a later adaptation.
