Our Story
Authentic Experience!
ikatan - Indonesian means bond, association or connection Balinese ikat means to make by hand. ikatan is hand made sarong representing an authentic Balinese Day Spa where every treatment is hands on and our traditional Balinese hand made sarong are used for your comfort during treatments.
Our vision
creating an authentic tropical day spa on the Queensland Sunshine Coast. The acreage property location was selected to give clients a greener environment, a place to escape and for close proximity to Noosa, Peregian and Coolum. We chose a Balinese influenced day spa for the cultural significance and holistic approach to health and wellbeing that is part of Balinese culture.
Katrina - owner
my career has always been in the beauty and wellness industries. In planning ikatan I wanted to create a place where people could leave the hectic pace of life behind them by being immersed in a lush, green, tropical environment, where life is at a slower pace and therapists have time to prepare and care for you. I am very passionate about researching traditional Asian cultural therapies which I use to design the body treatments and massage at ikatan. As well as owning ikatan, I am a spa Therapist and international Spa Trainer and it is my passion to teach and share knowledge.
Nicholas - owner
coming from an Aeronautical career, the day spa industry was new to me when we first opened ikatan. More familiar is the Design of the buildings, landscaping and gardening (which I create and maintain) as this has been passed on by my family business. It is rewarding to hear from clients - I go to day spas all over the world and ikatan has it all, gardens and amazing treatments, its a credit to you both. I am passionate about the unique tropical enviroment that we have created for ikatan and while I also run the finance side of the business and the evolving future development of ikatan the two areas create a great balance for me.
ikatan day spa has been established for over seven yearsand we continue to grow and diversify the business. We employ ten staff who adopt the ikatan philosophy and culture of enjoying what we do and doing it well with time, authentic treatments and products to work with in an amazing environment.
ikatan likes to support and give back to our local and Balinese communities. We sponsor a Balinese family who help us with everything we need to keep ikatan authentically Balinese.
