Midnight Reflection
What better way to celebrate year and welcome 2018 than
an indulgent meal, followed by live performances and a
firework display at a beachfront location on the ‘Island of
the Gods’? The Legian Bali invites guests to join them on
December 31 for a Gala Dinner, beginning at 7.30pm with
cocktail and canapés, before a six-course dinner to satisfy
even the most discerning palate. The evening will continue
with contemporary live jazz band and dance performances
and a live DJ set. Enjoy time with loved ones with a glass of
bubbly and dance beneath the stars until midnight, when the
new year commences with brilliant fireworks.

Zen of Touch
Immerse yourself in a Japanese wellness experience at The Spa at
Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo, whose Sakura Ritual honours the country’s
age-old traditions with a carefully curated journey. Following a foot
wash while the therapist learns about your needs, the ritual begins with
the Azuki Bean Scrub, which is made from sesame seeds, salt and finely
ground Japanese azuki beans known to purify the skin while stimulating
circulation. Next is a full-body Kiatsu massage, combining shiatsu
and Thai massage techniques to relax the body and soothe the mind.
