Body treatmentsAsian spa ritualsThe Balinese have a beautiful blessing upon greeting: "Om swasti astu," meaning "Peace in your heart, and in the world." It is this Asian philosophy and way of life that has so touched our hearts and inspired our creativity to present Asian spa rituals. Asia is a kaleidoscope of native and indigenous influences, honouring time, ancestry and steeped in spiritual traditions. Balinese massageThis relaxing massage has been handed down through generations. The techniques of skin rolling, long kneading strokes, acupressure and foot massage are delivered to renew, strengthen and heal the body. Our Bali spice massage oil – herbal coconut oil infused with ginger – is used for this unique massage. (50 or 80 minutes) Javanese Lulur royal ritualOur Lulur combines a Javanese beauty ritual with the ultimate in pampering. The treatment begins with a relaxing Balinese massage, followed by exfoliation with granular turmeric, sandalwood, sweet woods, rice powder, ginger root and spices. Following this Lulur polish, indulge in a fresh yoghurt splash and soak in a bath infused with tropical flowers and essential oils. The application of tropical flower lotion completes this elixir. This Lulur is a traditional retreat to luxury. (110 minutes) Volcanic earth clay ritualThis refreshing and uplifting treatment begins with a volcanic medicinal clay body mask. While the mask is cooling the skin, a face and scalp massage will refresh the body and soul. After an aromatic eucalyptus, clove and rosemary bath, experience a Balinese massage using Bali spice massage oil. This treatment is designed to keep the skin cool by the process of being covered. (110 minutes) BathsHydrotherapy stimulates the skin and circulation, soothing stress, muscle aches and jet lag. These are completely self-guided treatments. Once the water is drawn to the right temperature and the ambience is set, you are left to relax in solitude. Use the dry bush provided to prepare your body for the bath. Then soak at your leisure and feel stress evaporate. After your bath, a warm body butter is presented for you to use, completing the relaxing treatment. Mango bath sphereThis sphere will create a bathing experience to encompass your senses and soothe tired, dry skin. As you relax, dream of the tranquil, serene Island location. (25 minutes) Orange blossom buttermilk bathOffering the gentle hydration of the buttermilk and neroli essentials oils, this bath is focused on harmonising the mind and the body. (25 minutes) Piña colada milk bathLuxuriously smooth and creamy, this hydrating coconut milk bath contains a blend of nutrients essential to the support and good health of your skin. Coconut milk with a blend of coconut oil rejuvenates, nourishes and rehydrates dry skin, leaving it smooth, supple and revitalised. A coconut pineapple smoothie drink completes this exotic experience. (25 minutes) Scrubs and wrapsBahamian cooling aloe wrapAloe plants encompass the Island and offer means of healing to its residents. We begin this healing homage with a gentle body toning, followed with a cool layer application of pure aloe gel with essential oils of lavender and tea tree. As the body is then wrapped, a face and scalp massage is performed. We end with an application of SPF 30 to further protect the skin. This treatment is perfect for sun-drenched or sunburned skin. (25 minutes) Island avocado body wrapAs avocados are grown locally on Exuma, we honor their flora with this hydrating body wrap. Commencing with a dry body brush to remove dead skin and stimulate the skin's surface, we then tone the body with a warm aloe wash. Our avocado wrap is applied using long lomilomi strokes, after which the body is gently wrapped for moisture. A gentle face and scalp massage is performed during the wrap. This hydrating, nourishing treatment concludes with an application of lotion. (50 minutes) Lemongrass and ginger gommageLemongrass and ginger are long known for therapeutic properties of stimulation and warmth. This gentle, creamy gommage treatment begins with an application of warm crème all over the body. The gommage will be rinsed off your body in the Vichy shower and the treatment ends with a warm toning. (50 minutes) Little Exuma salt scrubThis signature treatment blends salt from Little Exuma’s salt ponds with locally grown papayas, exfoliating while offering complete hydration to your skin. We begin with a papaya cleansing gel, followed by an application of warm aloe vera oil and our signature sprinkling of salt. The salt is then used to scrub the body, removing dry skin and allowing it to accept moisture. After a refreshing rinse with a Vichy shower, the treatment is completed with a warm slow-drip application of aloe vera oil. (50 minutes) Oceanic seaweed body wrapSurrounding the Island is the sea and its therapeutic elements. We offer our admiration of these benefits with our seaweed wrap. Starting with a gentle body scrub, our seaweed mask will be then mixed with oils and extracts to aid healing and relaxation. After completing this application, we will add moisture to the body to encourage absorption of the mineral extracts. After a strong shower removes the mask, an application of warm oil will complete the re-mineralising detoxifying treatment. (80 minutes) Sweet mango sugar body polishOffering more of our local flare, we bring you the rich essence of mango. Commencing with a warm mango bath gel, the body is gently cleansed. Our warm rain rinse follows. Then, sugar glow is applied to the entire body as an exfoliant. An application of warm oil completes this magnificent treatment.
