| · ANCIENT
OCEANS RITUAL Restore your own personal harmony by
experiencing an ancient aquatic ritual. We begin with an exfoliation
to prepare you for this cleansing experience. Next, the body
is enveloped with a warm, aromatic body gel that combines
trace minerals from seawater with essential oils such as lavender,
ylang ylang, sandalwood, basil, and sage. Then you will relax
in our hydrotherapy tub, remineralize with our seawater bath,
and discover for yourself the restorative benefits of the
ancient ocean. The experience is completed with a blissful
massage. 140 MINUTES - $275.00 |

THE EGYPTIAN GOLDEN RITUAL
Inspired by Egyptian rituals, this magical body treatment
is the ultimate indulgence for the senses. Each phase immerses
you in the delicate combination of golden mineral dust and
Egyptian Chamomile - the healing flower of the Egyptian priests.
Your sensorial journey begins with a gentle exfoliation followed
by an invigorating Swiss shower. Next, a warm cocoon moisturizes
and remineralizes every inch of your skin as your scalp and
feet are massaged. After that, a sparkling milky bath awaits
you, swirling in sparkling golden pools. When you emerge,
gold-flecked body oil is massaged into your skin and lightly
feather dusted with luminous golden powder. Then, as you revel
in the pleasures of this golden experience, you will refresh
yourself with an exotic tea or passion fruit juice brought
to you at your request. 140 MINUTES - $275.00 |
| · THAI
RITUAL Entice your senses in a ritual that takes you
on a traditional Asian journey with herbal remedies that have
been used for centuries in Thailand. The journey begins with
a foot soak and exfoliation, followed by a Thai-style foot
massage. Next, you will experience a Table Thai massage that
incorporates "Luk Pra Kope," the healing application
of steamed herbal poultices. Finish with a soothing herbal
bath while you sip an exotic tea. 140 MINUTES - $275.00 |
| · INARA
RITUAL A completely organic body care experience that
employs ingredients from cooperatives in Southeast Amazon,
featuring Babassu oil from fruit kernels of the Babassu Palm.
The ritual begins with a sugar rub that melts into the skin,
leaving it deeply moisturized, followed by a fragrant Babassu
Milk Bath made with an organic buttermilk blend. After the
bath, you will be wrapped in a body mask infused with the
Babassu Body Oil while you receive a scalp and face massage
with Babassu Body Creme. A relaxing Vichy Shower with cascading
water will remove the body mask. Your ritual ends with a full-body
massage using the Babassu Body Oil sealed with additional
Babassu Body creme. 140 MINUTES -$275.00 |
| · NAPA
RITUAL Taken from the vineyards of Napa Valley, grape
seeds are ultimate anti-oxidant and the extract is ideally
suited for this anti-againg full body treatment. This ritual
begins with a warm soak in out hydrotherapy tub, infusing
the body with the power of grape seeds while moisturizing
the skin with cold-pressed grape seed oil. Next, an application
of Cabernet Passion fruit French clay is applied, absorbing
impurities while toning and moisturizing the skin. Finally,
a body butter infused with grape seed is massaged into the
body, leaving you feeling refreshing hydrated. 140 MINUTES
