Professional Beauty July/August 2019

Tell us about The Chavana Spa?
“The word Chavana is the name of the humble Indian sage who discovered
the fountain of youth and, with a dazzling appearance, went on to marry
a princess. All inspiration for The Chavana Spa flows from the beautiful
freshness of a Balinese garden during spring time. Bright pastel colours and
fresh floral aromas, partnered with green and woody notes. The Chavana Spa
introduces Balinese Fusion at its best – contemporary but never modern. The
sounds of the Balinese garden are captured in our unique blend of traditional
Balinese music with contemporary tones.”
When and why did The Chavana Spa open?
“The Chavana Spa first launched in October in 2009 after recognising the
need for a simple spa concept that would suit the ever-growing middle market.
Deriving its inspiration from Bali, Chavana is fresh, friendly and comfortable.
The Chavana Spa welcomes everyone to experience the freshness and energy
of the Balinese spa spirit.”
What makes The Chavana Spa unique?
“All too often, the spa experience is confusing and intimidating for all but
the most spa-savvy consumers. With The Chavana Spa, we offer a simple,
understandable and approachable concept that welcomes all to experience it.
The Chavana Spa creates an environment where you can feel confident and
safe exploring the wonderful world of spa.”

Tell us about the surroundings?
“The Chavana Spa at Adaaran Select
Hudhuranfushi is nestled in a lush, quiet area
on the island, serving as a private sanctuary for
individuals or couples to enjoy treatments together.
It features three double rooms with an outdoor
jacuzzi and shower and one double room with an
outdoor bath and shower, all arranged around a
central courtyard. There is also an inviting open
air reception, a manicure-pedicure room and a
retail boutique and lounge, dedicated to quality

gardens and pleasant shade from large trees
surrounding the spa, one double and two single

relaxing treatments in a unique setting.”
How did you get into beauty?
“It started in 2004, when I was hired as an
administration assistant for Kirana Spa, Ubud Bali,
a spa by Shiseido. I have been in love with the spa
and beauty industry ever since.
