Babymoon Destinations | Do Not Miss Lombok Island

Pregnancy is a beautiful time, and what better way to celebrate this special chapter than with a relaxing and rejuvenating babymoon? Welcome to Lombok & The Gili Islands for ‘The Ultimate Babymoon Experience‘. Whether you’re looking to unwind, bond with your partner, or simply take some time to relax before the big arrival, staying with us promises to be an unforgettable experience. To help you make the most of your babymoon, here’s a guide on what to eat, activities to do, and when to indulge in spa treatments.

BABYMOON: WHAT TO EAT

A babymoon is the perfect opportunity to nourish your body and enjoy delicious meals that support both you and your growing baby. Whether you’re craving comfort food or light, healthy meals, we’ve got you covered.

#FRESH, NUTRIENT-PACKED MEALS

Pregnancy is all about nourishing both your body and your baby. Opt for meals rich in protein, iron, calcium, and folic acid. Think grilled chicken or tofu for lunch with a side of leafy greens, quinoa, or whole grains.
Fresh fruits like Lombok bananas, and oranges provide vital vitamins, while our organic avocados offer healthy fats perfect for both you and your baby’s development.

#PREGNANCY SUPERFOODS

Incorporate pregnancy superfoods into your meals for maximum benefit. Include foods like sweet potatoes, salmon (for those who eat fish), Greek yogurt, nuts, and seeds. These will not only satisfy your cravings but will also provide you with the necessary nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy.

#HYDRATION IS KEY

Staying hydrated is crucial for a healthy pregnancy, especially during your time on Lombok Island.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and try our herbal teas that are safe for pregnancy, such as ginger or peppermint tea.
Avoid sugary drinks and stick to natural fruit juices for a refreshing boost.

#INDULGE IN LIGHT, COMFORT FOODS

Pregnancy cravings are real! If you’re in the mood for comfort food, choose lighter options like a whole-grain veggie pizza (Pre-Order 24 hours for the whole-grain dough please), homemade soup, or a healthy salad with plenty of fresh toppings.

Don’t hesitate to ask for food that suits your specific cravings.
We’re are here to make sure you’re comfortable and satisfied!

BABYMOON ACTIVITIES: RELAXATION AND BONDING TIME

A babymoon isn’t just about rest and relaxation. It’s also a time for connection, adventure, and self-care.
Here are some wonderful activities to enjoy while staying with us:

#GENTLE BEACH WALKS OR NATURE STROLLS

Now that you are near the coast and surrounded by lush nature, gentle beach walks or nature strolls are a peaceful way to unwind.
The fresh air and calming sounds of the water or birds will help you relax and enjoy the moment.
These walks are also a great opportunity for bonding with your partner and connecting with the serenity around you.

#PRENATAL YOGA OR MEDITATION

If you’re looking for a way to stay active but at a gentler pace, prenatal yoga is an excellent option. Yoga helps improve flexibility, relieve stress, and promote a sense of calm. It’s also a great way to connect with your body during pregnancy. We also recommend meditation sessions for relaxation and mindfulness.

#SCENIC DRIVES OR DAY TRIPS

Explore nearby scenic spots or local attractions at a comfortable pace. Whether it’s a visit to a botanical garden, a quiet village, or an artisan market, these low-key outings can be a fun way to experience the area and enjoy some quality time together.

#COUPLE’S TIME

Use this time to bond with your partner. Take the opportunity to talk about your future plans, share your excitement, and simply enjoy each other’s company. After all, this is a time to strengthen the emotional connection before the arrival of your little one.
Spa Treatments: When to Indulge in Pampering.

BABYMOON: THAT’S YOU-TIME

Pregnancy can be physically demanding, and there’s no better way to unwind than with some pampering at the spa. However, it’s important to know when it’s safe to indulge and what treatments are best for you during pregnancy.

#WHEN TO START SPA TREATMENTS
While every pregnancy is unique, most women can start enjoying spa treatments from the second trimester (around 14-16 weeks) a great time to indulge in gentle pampering.

#PRENATAL MASSAGES
Prenatal massages are designed specifically for pregnant women and can help alleviate back pain, reduce swelling, and improve circulation. Always ensure that the therapist is trained in prenatal massage techniques to ensure safety and comfort.

#FACIALS AND SKINCARE
Pregnancy brings about hormonal changes that can affect your skin. A gentle, hydrating facial can be a wonderful way to relax while also giving your skin the extra glow it deserves. Make sure to avoid treatments with harsh chemicals or retinoids, and opt for all-natural, pregnancy-safe products.

#MANICURES AND PEDICURES
Treat your hands and feet to a soothing mani-pedi, which can help you feel pampered and refreshed.

#ESSENTIAL OILS AND AROMATHERAPY
Many women enjoy the soothing effects of aromatherapy during pregnancy, but it’s important to choose essential oils that are safe for expectant mothers. Lavender, chamomile, and rose are generally considered safe and can help you relax and de-stress. Always consult with our therapists to ensure the oils they use are pregnancy-safe.

#AVOIDING CERTAIN TREATMENTS
It’s best to avoid certain treatments, such as deep tissue massages, saunas, or hot tubs, during pregnancy.
