Signature spa rituals

Each spa ritual is designed to create a truly personal spa experience. Cultural echoes of ancient traditions, therapeutic disciplines and Western practices are linked together to nurture and rebalance the body. These skills and methods have been passed down through generations as truly holistic therapies, dedicated to restoring balance and well-being. Vanilla spice, indigenous to the islands, is extracted locally from the sweet floral vanilla bean, then used to bathe the feet and commence each spa ritual, preparing mind and body for the experience to come.

Taurumi mind and body

This uniquely harmonising ritual has been inspired by the culture of Polynesian massage and its deep understanding of touch. These skills have been passed on from generation to generation, to restore balance and embrace harmony in mind and body. The ritual begins with a softening skin brush and body scrub with refreshing spearmint and aloe polish and a centring pressure point scalp massage. Once body and mind are prepared, the Polynesian-inspired massage begins, using a unity of ancient and modern techniques embracing the concept of taurumi, meaning “health in the hands.” A warmed oil blended with local monoi and extracts of fragrant kahaia is used, transporting you to a deep state of relaxation. Specialised pressure and stretching movements connect the mind, body, heart and soul.

Volcanic stone

This sophisticated holistic therapy is an outstanding treatment experience for body and face. It begins with a stimulating and cleansing back exfoliation, followed by a deeply intensive back massage using volcanic basalt lava stones and aromatic oils. These stones, referred to as ofai in the South Pacific, are rich in minerals when heated. Placed on specific energy points along the spine, shoulders and neck, these stones help clear blocked energy centres, aid relaxation and dissolve stress. The personalised intensive facial that follows includes massage with a deeply nourishing facial oil and the application of an intensive face treatment mask tailored to the individual. While the mask is taking effect, an acupressure head massage helps clear the mind, calm the spirit and ease tension. The result is rehydrated, nourished and soothed skin, combined with a sense of deep relaxation.
