Spa days are a must to rejuvenate yourself this summer and ready yourself to push through until the December break.
Below are some spa treatments that will leave you feeling like a new person.
Floatation therapy
People have a deepening psychological and physical desire to escape from gravity’s relentless pull. Go back to a time and place where your body was enveloped by nothing but water.
Thirty minutes in a floatation bath equates to four hours of undisturbed sleep.
Allow your body to become weightless, relieving skeletal tension and induce a deep state of physical and mental relaxation.
Middle Eastern Rasul Chamber
Based on the traditional Turkish bath, this exfoliating and cleansing ritual uses pure natural medicinal earth mud to cleanse and detoxify the body and combines herb-infused steam to open pores and draw out impurities.
To complete the ceremony, a tropical rain shower will wash away the mud providing an all over cleansing, detoxifying and rejuvenating experience. This ceremony can be enjoyed as a group or with a partner.
Massage
Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.
It improves blood circulation, eases muscle aches and tension, improves flexibility and reduces stress.
A relaxing foot massage to relieve tension in the feet and lower legs is a de-stressing treatment which involves a foot ritual with a soak and scrub followed by a soothing pressure point massage to ease tired legs and feet.
