BEAUTIFULLY INTEGRATED INTO the backdrop of an ancient rainforest, The Datai Spa comprises four open-air villas situated along a winding stream. Immersive and therapeutic, guests can experience local rituals and traditional herbal remedies to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with nature. Enveloped by the tranquil sights, meditative sounds and subtle scents of the jungle, each secluded spa villa features indoor and outdoor showers, with a spacious river-view soaking tub.

Combining the very best of indigenous rituals and ancient healing traditions – harnessing the healing power of jungle plants and following local shamans’ 1,000-year-old secret recipes – The Datai Spa’s offering is designed around the Spirit of Ramuan. Ramuan is a uniquely Malay concept. On the simplest level, it refers to the deliberate and intelligent gathering and mixing of medicinal plants. In its purest essence, it reflects the conscious awareness to nurture a healthy, balanced and holistic attitude to life.

The Datai Spa draws from these ancient teachings and the healing potential of the rainforest environment. The Datai Spa experience is designed to nourish and strengthen body and soul, and to invigorate the mind. Some of the signature massages from the refreshed spa menu include: Tungku Batu, a signature hot stone treatment renowned for reducing pain and increasing blood circulation; Synchronised Massage, a dynamic style to dissolve deep muscle tension and soothe the spirit; and Traditional Massage, a light yet profound massage that brings a sense of calm. Other experiences include Harnn Rituals, Rejuvenating Beauty Rituals for calming facials, Purifying Body Rituals for relaxing baths as well as Kids Rituals for younger guests aged eight to 12.
