The sign on the Ibah Spa gate advised, “you are entering a tranquil environment.”. After a difficult morning of child wrangling, I was entering a different planet – a very civilised planet where you wear a fluffy bathrobe and gratefully accept a welcoming berry tea. Ibah Spa treated me to the popular ‘Petit Harmony’ package involving a Balinese Foot Ritual (a nice scrub on my calves and feet), a 45-minute Swedish and hot stones massage and 45-minute facial (using natural products created by Ibah Austinmer’s Rita Bennett).The experience delighted all senses. Then I chilled in the Bali Hut with oriental tea and a ginger kiss. When owner Sophie Bennett asked how I felt, I sighed, “Lovely!” n Massages and facials start from $65. Gift vouchers are available. Ibah Spa Thirroul also has Mother-to-Be and Mother’s Pamper Day packages. 2508
