T
he Gaia Hotel Bandung has introduced Sepik Massage Therapy & Spa’s Signature Massage, a 120-minute holistic therapy experience designed specifically to deliver total head-to-toe rejuvenation.
Available from Sept. 3, the treatment enhances health, supports sport recovery and promotes deep rest for those looking to unwind.
The massage derives its name from the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea, considered one of the 10 most important rivers on Earth. As one of the last remaining undisturbed natural environments in the world, Sepik River resonates with the name Gaia, which means “Mother Nature” or “Earth”. Sepik Massage Therapy & Spa only uses all-natural products for each and every repair-and-restore service offered, providing holistic long-term wellness.
Sepik Signature Massage begins with a grounding foot ritual where the feet are cleansed with salt and lime, setting the tone for a truly transformative session. This is followed by stretch therapy, designed to loosen muscle knots and improve blood circulation, even benefiting muscles rarely used in daily activities.
The heart of the treatment features a combination of deep tissue massage, a warm herbal compress and aromatherapy. These techniques work in synergy, using thumb and palm pressure to ease the body into a state of deep relaxation. The experience continues with face acupressure, targeting specific points to relieve tension and promote overall well-being. The journey concludes with bath therapy, ensuring complete relaxation and renewal.
In addition to the launch of Sepik Signature Massage, The Gaia Hotel Bandung also launched its new gym membership program, Via Gaia, to cater to local residents seeking a premium fitness experience.
The name "Via" is derived from the Latin word meaning "by a route that touches or passes through." True to its name, Via Gaia serves as a route by which members can connect with everything The Gaia Hotel has to offer, ensuring a memorable and holistic experience.
Via Gaia members will enjoy a wide range of benefits, including access to state-of-the-art gym facilities such as a track, serene pool, sauna and Jacuzzi, as well as all gym classes.
Beyond the facilities, the program creates a path for members to fully experience The Gaia Hotel’s unique blend of hospitality, beauty and signature active/rest philosophy. They will also enjoy privileged discounted rates on rooms, all food and beverage outlets, and Sepik massage therapy.
