Silver Whisper photo - Mandara Spa massage

Mandara Spa

A masseuse as muse

It's hard not to feel inspired by the official etymology of the Mandara Spa's name:

"The name 'Mandara' comes from an ancient Sanskrit legend about the gods' quest to find the elixer of immortality and eternal youth. Mandara Spa, originating in Bali, has embraced this legend."

Mandara Spa treatments are not included in the Silver Whisper's fare, and they cost more than the usual massage or mud bath. Still, there's a reason for the steep prices, as Carolyn Brown points out in her Silver Whisper review:

"Many [treatments] last nearly twice as long as average (80 minutes instead of 50) and, consistent with Silversea's 'no tipping expected' policy, gratuities are built into the fee."
