Spa Mamabali is the place to be for those with a wanderlust. It offers a Balinese-style getaway right in the middle of Paris.
Nestled in a beautiful green setting in the heart of the 11th arrondissement,
Mamabali is a
spa and a
restaurant, but above all, it's an invitation to travel and discover Indonesia. It's a real getaway, a moment of relaxation that feels almost like a second wind. And when you leave, you're ready to face anything - nothing can beat your good mood.
It has to be said that this place offers a
100% Balinese treatment menu. Proud of its Balinese culture,
Mamabali bewitches you and inspires you to travel. A foretaste that may well inspire you to make your own way to this island paradise. Prices are very reasonable, and treatments are based on natural products such as
frangipani oil. Ultra-moisturizing, this natural treatment has the scent of paradise islands and leaves the skin with a veritable veil of satin.
Here you can try out Balinese massage, which responds to the need for harmony and has the gift of making everyday worries vanish with a flick of the wrist. If you feel you're lacking in energy, then Reiki massage is for you. This ultra-energizing treatment will recharge your batteries and leave you feeling more alive than ever.
We're a far cry from factory-style spas, where masseurs tirelessly repeat the same gestures over and over again, like assembly-line work. Not so at
Mamabali. In this warm and friendly spot, you feel like a guest. When it's time to take full advantage of the treatment of your choice, the
masseurs practice their art with intelligence. It's like discovering the true meaning of
massage.
Whatever service you choose, there's always an element of made-to-measure. The masseurs, all Indonesian, know how to listen to your body's needs with a precision that borders on telepathy. Patiently, they feel tensions, detect areas that need special attention and free you from the weight of your daily worries. In this bubble where nothing can touch you, all you feel is benevolence. Lulled by the rhythm of relaxing music and transported by the delicious scent offrangipani oil, you'll feel totally at ease.
During our test of the address, we were won over by the Balinese massage. For this treatment, Anissa and Angga, each in their own way, introduced us to the benefits of their art. Anissa, very attentive and intuitive, brings a comfort similar to that of a mother. Angga, a natural and endearing person, is also a magnetizer and doesn't hesitate to apply her gift during her massages. After an hour of this almost therapeutic session, you'll feel energized!
After this wellness getaway, why not let yourself be tempted by the restaurant? As you'd expect, the à la carte menu features nothing but Indonesian (or, to be more precise, Balinese) specialities. A cuisine still little known in the capital, but well worth discovering! On the menu: vegetable fritters served with satay sauce, Opor Ayam (chicken curry), Pepe Ayam (fish cooked in a banana leaf) or savory pancakes flavored with pandan and stuffed with grated coconut.
Once your mind, body and stomach have been soothed, you'll leave here almost regretting it. Fortunately, the Balinese escapade can follow you home:
Mamabali also offers
cosmetics, the same as those used during their treatments. We can reassure you right away that their range features
products made from natural ingredients, totally
vegan, without pesticides or preservatives. So, which of these products will win you over? The apricot-shell
scrub? The island-scented
floral mist? Or the
creamy moisturizer that will leave your skin as soft as a baby's?
And if
Mamabali has inspired you to get closer to
Balinese culture, we've got even more good news for you: this
spa, which we'd rather call a place to live, also offers workshops where you can
learn how to massage according to the rules of
Balinese well-being, or how to cook delicious dishes from the
island of the gods!
So, are you ready to embark?
