Losari Wellness and Hammam Retreat

MESASTILA
With the perfect balance of ancient and contemporary healing traditions, MesaStila brings you
the finest therapies from Asia and the Near East. The Indonesian Archipelago has a long history
of contact between Chinese and Arab traders, who introduced plants, herbs and spices; bringing
insights from Indian Ayurvedic, Chinese and Greek medicine and Arab healing practices. The
traditional Indonesian Jamu vendors are a result of these enormous influences and today these
people can be best described as “walking-talking pharmacies”.
Cultural traditions were adopted as the traders traversed the region and one such ritual is the
Hammam. With its origins in Turkey, MesaStila is proud to house South East Asia’s only authentic
Hammam, where steam bathing combines functionality with decadent cleansing rituals.
The word Java today seems to be synonymous with coffee in so many parts of the world. The
coffee bean, which is grown at MesaStila, continues to hold a strong fascination and wellresearched reputation for its excellent healing properties, high anti-oxidant levels and in is
stimulating effects on the body and mind.
Whether you are seeking solitude from your demanding lifestyle, a cultural explosion and
indulgent encounter, you will find something here within our spa and wellness experiences.
