Traditional Thai

This ancient massage technique (also known as yoga massage) has been handed down through the centuries. Based on the application of pressure along the energy lines of the body, together with the stretching of the muscles, Thai massage stimulates energy flow and eases muscles, replacing tension and stress with a feeling of energy and peace.

Orient blend

A pressure-point massage based on the Oriental theories of energy meridians, this massage is effective in relieving tension, aches and pains. The combination of soothing aromatic oils and gentle kneading and stretching will leave the body feeling totally relaxed and refreshed.

Aromatic

Using Thai herbal oils that release their therapeutic properties into the skin, this healing treatment gently relieves aches through kneading and circular hand movements, leaving the body totally relaxed. Choose from a variety of oils including:

• Prai – from the ginger family, a natural moisturizer
• Nutmeg – a southern Thai oil used for muscular ailments
• Lemongrass – refreshing and stimulating
• Ylang-ylang – a soft floral fragrance, a soothing stimulant

Herbal oil

A restorative massage to purify and balance both body and mind. Using healing rituals originating from India, the combination of blended warm herbal oil and specific massage techniques is designed to balance the nervous system and restore vital energy flow.

Synchronized

A dual massage, performed on one guest by two therapists working together in rhythmic harmony. The healing powers of aromatherapy and tactile therapy create the ultimate massage experience and sensory indulgence.

Elemis aroma stone therapy

Harnessing the healing power of warm volcanic stone, the deep penetrating heat from small stones placed on key energy points is used to massage the body with traditional techniques to release muscular tension and balance the spirit.

Reflex

A specialized hand and foot massage to relieve stress and tension and to improve blood circulation. Each of the body’s energy meridians is identified in the pressure points of the feet. Using cooling wild mint massage lotion, the massage releases pain and blocked energy, leaving you feeling totally relaxed.

Fire Chakra Massage

Also known as the Manipura Massage, manipura meaning beautiful jewel in Sanskrit, this massage focuses on the solar plexus (navel) chakra, the centre of the body’s fire and sun energy that ignites health and restores vitality. This new treatment begins with a Himalayan Salt Scrub to purify the physical and subtle bodies, and is followed by a full-body marma massage, lymphatic drainage, and the application of Himalayan salt and herb poultices to harness and restore vitality, and facilitate a positive flow of energy.

Restorative Back Massage

Kundalini, the female goddess of awareness believed to take the form of a coiled snake, is the dormant energy in the base of the spine. When awakened, this energy travels up the spine to the third eye, increasing energy and spiritual enlightenment. This new back massage uses a blend of neroli, cardamom, jasmine and patchouli essential oils, combined with ancient massage techniques, chakra healing and Himalayan salt and herb poultices, to deeply sooth, relax and balance the whole of the body’s nervous system.

Chi nei tsang

This internal organ massage works directly over the navel and surrounding abdominal area, where stress, tension and negative emotions accumulate. If this area is congested, the whole energy of the body is blocked, slowly weakening the internal organs and decreasing energy and vitality. Chi nei tsang massage brings comfort to the abdomen and vital energy to the internal organs. Best taken as a series of three to five treatments for optimal results.

Reiki

This ancient healing art has its origins in the Himalayas. Working with life force energy, reiki aims to address the causes of disease and imbalance, and restore wholeness by activating the body’s natural healing ability.
