Each with their own private pool, terrace, kitchenette, sun beds and outdoor shower, the villas have been specially created to provide ultimate comfort in understated luxury.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the villa, the airy Slow Spa is also designed to evoke the slow spirit with gentle architectural curves, natural building materials and an array of treatments emphasising the use of natural products, such as fresh aloe vera grown on site.<\/p>\n<p>While the accommodations and atmosphere at Slow Villas &amp; Spa are certainly special, the most important aspect of one\u2019s stay is the feeling of contentment they cultivate and can carry home with them.<\/p>\n<p>Discover more about Slow Villas &amp; Spa, or make a booking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.secret-retreats.com\/hotels\/indonesia\/lombok\/slow-villas-and-spa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new take on island time Even when you\u2019re on holiday, sometimes it can still be difficult to totally unwind and relax into island time.
