Recently, the spa launched a new series of treatments using CBD Essentials products, which range from the CBD Enhance Sleep Journey and the CBD Enhanced Balinese Blessing Baths to CBD Massage and more. CBD Essentials founder Aryn Sieber is a Stage IV Cancer survivor who used cannabis in his own treatment, and is incredibly passionate about both the quality and potency of CBD, as well as the purity of the other ingredients used by the brand, making for the ultimate CBD massage experience.

We spoke with Spa Director Marissa Edwards, who shared insider tips, recommended unique and luxurious treatments to try, and more.

Guests can relax in the serene relaxation lounge before and after their treatments.

Why You’ll Love It: Aarna Spa guests relish in the fact that Balinese-inspired touches transport them miles away during spa treatments. Guests often tell us that they feel that the energy of the ocean is infused in the treatment experiences.

Key Features: Aarna Spa facilities are extremely exclusive. We have only eight treatment rooms and feature a ritual experience for the guest that includes a lavender eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, and salt water whirlpool. Relaxation and meditation is encouraged in our outdoor succulent garden space or indoor lounge.

The private spa garden features tranquil water feature, fire pits, and cabanas.

Insider’s Tip: We suggest visiting during the week and combining your spa day with an oceanfront view while enjoying our Ninth Island Pool.

Snacks Served: Our Executive Chef has designed a menu that highlights some of our favorite treatment ingredients. Warm spice blends are found throughout a variety of wraps, organic salads, and bite-size desserts. While a glass of Trinitas wine is a great pairing, our culinary team’s menu can also be enhanced with a freshly-squeezed juice or a tart and energizing Kombucha.

Guests can meditate, relax, and mingle in the spa garden.

Insider’s Favorite: For me, suggesting a favorite treatment is like playing favorites with your children; however, if you promise not to tell our “estys,” I will tell you I do have a favorite treatment. Our “Ocean Devotion” treatment is incredibly unique and really captures the essence of local ocean culture. The mixture of the warmed salt stone with the invigorating foot treatment truly puts this massage experience over the top.

The beautifully appointed Signature Suite includes a private tub.

Unique Treatment: Our “Kelip Journey” (taken from the Indonesian word for “twinkle” and you’ll see why) taps into the body’s need for true rest and focuses on calming all your senses. Each journey begins with a 20-minute lavender CBD soak provided by CBD Essentials. Afterward, guests are taken through a 20-minute guided meditation, encouraging the mind to slow down while the body rests. We close this thoughtful treatment with a 75-minute lavender CBD-infused massage, then give the guest an additional 15 minutes to rest on the warm massage table with quiet ocean sounds.

The spa also recently launched a new series of treatments using CBD Essentials products, including the CBD Enhanced Balinese Blessing Baths, which begins with a sea salt soak in the Signature Suite.

Splurge Treatment: The ultimate way to treat yourself is with our four-hour “Aarna Signature Journey.” Each of our journeys includes a path of suggested spa rituals, plus a traditional Balinese sokasi basket that is custom designed to help enhance your experience when you are at home. The Aarna journey features a traditional Balinese soak, but I would suggest creating a more premium experience by opting for a CBD-infused soak combined with the traditional Balinese floral essence. This is then followed by a traditional Balinese massage and a 50-minute signature facial, which leaves you completely hydrated and refreshed.
