toddlers while enjoying the benefits of
hot springs water which promotes blood
circulation and healthy growth. There
was also a spa named Crystal Spa where
a variety of massages is available within
private huts. I made a mental note to pay
a visit to the spa the next time I made a
trip to Tambun.
After my day at the hot springs was
over and I got ready for an early night
in, not only did my body feel relaxed and
rejuvenated, but my muscles seemed
less tense and all the previous aches and
pains had disappeared. Perhaps this could
be contributed to the water of the hot
springs that contain a myriad of minerals
such as magnesium, calcium, potassium,
iron, calcium carbonate, sodium, sulphate
and chloride, just to name a few. These
minerals are said to be good for foot and
skin problems, arthritis and nervous
system. If you’re up for a day of relaxation
that’s also good for your body, The Lost
World Hot Springs and Spa is definitely
the place to be.
as it soothed my feet. The reflexology
targets pressure points on the feet and
generally helps in stress reduction while
stimulating the lymphatic system, thus
reducing risk of infection. It cleanses the
body of toxins and impurities and also
stimulates the production of endorphins,
leading to an improved immune system
and sense of well-being.
Without realising, time had passed by
in a flash and it was getting dark in the
evening as I headed over to the Crystal
Pool. The pool was lit up in colourful
lights, giving it a mysterious, mystical
feel. This was due to special design of
the pool where glimmering crystal tiles
are used. The pool can also be privately
reserved as a VIP pool or a Ladies Only
Pool, a great idea for a private party or
hen’s night, perhaps?

into the pool. However, my body soon
adjusted to the temperature and boy, did
it feel good being in the hot water! I began
to relax and enjoy the calming sounds of
the volcanic waterfall.
After a good soak, I made my way to
the end of the Infinity Pool where the
Steam Cave was located. The steam cave
which acts as a sauna suremademe break
out in a lot of sweat. Sweating in the sauna
is said to be good for you however, as
toxins and waste are expelled through the
pores on the epidermis, leaving the dermis
clean and refreshed. Indeed, my skin was
clearer and even softer after the steam
cave experience. The high temperature
also promotes blood circulation, which
will help encourage new cell growth and
skin rejuvenation.
There was also a Foot Spa which was
great as I was itching to bring relief to
my tired, aching feet after the drive to
Tambun. The unique pool had reflexology
pebbles fitted to the floor that I couldwalk
