Enjoy wellness at Lake Toba: The Traditional Way

Making a journey through Indonesia is an incredible experience. But let’s face it: all those new impressions, activities, and the climate can be exhausting. Fret not! At Hotel Barbara, we offer perfect wellness facilities. In this blog, you’ll learn more about them.

Traditional Massage

What could be better than a soothing massage after a tiring day? The Bataks (the ethnic group residing around Lake Toba) have a rich tradition of massages. At Hotel Barbara, skilled masseurs are at your service. Simply relax and, after an hour, you’ll feel rejuvenated!

Hot Springs

Want to combine wellness with an excursion? Pay a visit to the hot springs. At Hotel Barbara, we offer bicycle, scooter, and car rentals (with or without driver), and of course, we can guide you on the route. In the hot springs, you can swim or soak in geothermally heated water. If you go during the day, you often have the place to yourself. Evenings see a crowd of locals, making it an ideal opportunity for a chat with the local community!

Here’s a tip: The hot springs are free to access, but purchasing refreshments is mandatory. Many locals pair it with their evening meal. Most baths have separate sections for men and women. If you wish to bathe together, just inquire on-site about the options.

In summary, Lake Toba is the perfect place to unwind! Want to know more? Get in touch via WhatsApp, email, Facebook or Instagram!
