The holistic journey commences at the break of dawn, around 07.00.  First is a forest bathing ritual, an ancient practice that is believed by the Malays to be the secret to longevity. The ritual involves a meditative walk into the ancient rainforest at the foot of the Machinchang mountain formation. It is a journey to be enjoyed with all five senses, listening to the morning chorus of birds and animals, sensing the aromas of the rainforest and the earth; observing the changing colours of the sunlight in the sky, the light reflecting off the landforms and the leaves, and the play of the sunlight as it dances through the green foliage.

At the edge of a languid forest stream, the forest therapy continues with Senaman Tua, a guided exercise to stretch and strengthen muscles, coupled with conscious breath-work techniques. 

These exercises are followed by Mandi Maul Hayat, an immersion into the cool and refreshing waters of Crystal Creek, a spectacular jungle stream. Mandi Maul Hayat, the ritual of ‘bathing in the water of life’, is believed to regulate circadian rhythm to stimulate improved sleep and well-being. As an added benefit, Crystal Creek flows through a unique combination of shale and quartzite. Clear quartz is known to be a purifying stone that works against free radicals, improving the clarity of skin and acting as a source of rejuvenation.

Light refreshments of seasonal tropical fruits, nuts and herbal teas are served before the walk out of the forest.

At The Spa, the journey progresses with an invigorating Urut Melayu massage to reduce muscle tension and encourage healthy blood flow. Using signature blended Akar oils, this full-body, deep pressure massage involves long kneading strokes through applying pressure with the thumb and palm. 

The morning’s holistic experience concludes with an Enam Rasa nutritional lunch. Meaning ‘six flavours’, the name of the meal refers to the six taste sensations of Malay cuisine - hot, sweet, sour, salty, bitter and astringent, where each sensation activates and abets a particular area and function of the body. These six taste sensations are incorporated into the menu to create a balance of flavours for digestive health and other benefits.

Rest of the afternoon free at leisure.
