Spa service menu

Signature Treatment – Traditional Thai Massage (1 hour, 30 minutes): NZ$180 (AU$162)
Thai massage is founded on the concept of invisible energy lines running through the body between critical acupressure points. Massaging these lines and points releases pressure, helps stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms, and helps relieve pain. This session focuses on 10 main energy lines to help treat the whole body and internal organs. Energy points are pressed and general pressure is applied. Emphasis is placed on considerable muscle stretching.
Fee may not include tax and is subject to change without notice.

Signature Treatment – Thalgo’s Indoceane Vital Relaxation (1 hour, 30 minutes): NZ$200 (AU$180)
This treatment features the Thalgo marine therapy range. A Sweet & Savoury body scrub is followed by a stress-relieving relaxation massage. The body is then enveloped in a silky wrap, before being caressed with Thalgo’s Sublime Cream.
Fee may not include tax and is subject to change without notice.

Signature Treatment – Herbal Hot Compress (1 hour, 30 minutes): NZ$200 (AU$180)
A traditional Thai herbal therapy specifically designed to soothe muscle tension and stiffness. The session begins with the application of a warm herbal poultice containing a variety of therapeutic herbs and spices. The treatment concludes with a full body massage using specially selected herbal oils.
Fee may not include tax and is subject to change without notice.

Renewal Package – Mer & Sens Hot Volcanic Stones (3 hours): NZ$340 (AU$306)
Harnessing the healing power of gentle heat, small stones are placed on key energy points. This helps release muscle tension before the stones are used for a full body massage. The treatment includes a hot stone exfoliation, hot stone massage, and hot stone facial massage.
Fee may not include tax and is subject to change without notice.
