Spa Indulgence
You have chosen the perfect sanctuary to indulge in a luxurious spa treatment. Surrounded by an exquisite garden of trees, plants, flowers and fruits, this romantic hideaway is simply ideal.

Unwind with a foot soak by the calming waters edge followed by a full body massage will leave you feeling relaxed and revived. A gentle body scrub with desert salts will refine skin texture and stimulate sluggish circulation. Enjoy a natural lift as you take a plunge into the refreshing waterfall fed pond before returning to be cocooned in a warm body mud collected from the Earth of Tranquilla. Let your mind and body float with a Paudi scalp massage. Luxuriate in a warm bath to thoroughly cleanse and nurture then complete the experience with a personalised facial to replenish depleted nutrients and revitalise tone and texture, and a pampering for the feet and hands.
