Enter the newly expanded Aura Wellbeing Sanctuary, a jungle-hidden oasis where sweating, freezing, and feeling absolutely blissed-out are all on the itinerary.
This isn’t your average spa upgrade. It’s a full-blown contrast therapy playground, designed to have you alternating between fiery heat and ice-cold refreshment like a true wellness warrior. Start in the Red Salt Sauna, where temperatures climb to a toasty 82°C, melting away toxins and stress like butter on a Bawah beach. Or opt for the Steam Room, a pore-purifying, muscle-relaxing misty haven set at a gentle 38°C (that’s still hot to us) or a sweat-dripping 48°C for the hardcore detoxers.
Then, just when you’re feeling all warm and fuzzy, it’s time for the Polar Room; a brisk 16°C sensory jolt that wakes up circulation, tightens skin, and reminds you what being truly alive feels like. And if you want to take things to the next level, the Ice Plunge Pool at a frosty 12°C delivers the ultimate endorphin rush, soothing sore muscles and leaving you buzzing with post-chill euphoria.
With Bawah’s signature all-inclusive spa treatments already part of the package, the new Aura Sanctuary is just the cherry on top of an already ridiculously dreamy retreat. Detox, retox, repeat because sweating in paradise has never looked this good.

Why It Exists
Because one spa treatment a day is included in your stay, and Bawah has now found even more ways to make you sweat, freeze and feel smug about it.
The Vibe
Private-island wellness with the temperature dial being aggressively messed with.
Your Bed Tonight
Take your pick from safari-style suites, overwater bungalows and treehouses, complete with canopy beds, copper bathtubs and the kind of views that make curtains unnecessary.
The Thing You’ll Brag About Later
Going from an 82°C sauna to a 12°C ice plunge and voluntarily calling it a ‘holiday’.
Eat / Drink This
Have a crack at making jamu, Indonesia’s traditional herbal tonic.
Steal This Local Move
Book the Spa Explorer: they’ll whisk you off by boat to a secluded beach, coastal hideaway or clifftop for an open-air treatment with the sea doing the spa soundtrack.
