Relaxation from around the world

SHIATSU:
A therapy of Japanese origin that works with soft pressure on different points of the body, mainly on both sides of the spine. In accordance with the thousand-year-old Asian wisdom, it coordinates pressure with the rhythm of breathing in order to reach a higher level of relaxation and permit the free flow of energy.  Shiatsu is ideal for relieving the so-called “modern illnesses” of stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, metabolic disorders, and other related conditions. This massage is an excellent option for those who prefer to avoid direct skin contact as the removal of clothing isn’t necessary, and it doesn’t use friction, oils or creams. It is done on a “tatami,” or futon, on the floor.

THAI MASSAGE:
Called “Nuad Bo Ram” in the Thai language, this therapy combines pressure on the points and meridians of the most important energy lines of the body (known as the Zen lines) with stretching and reflex stimulation. The therapist harmonizes his or her breathing with that of the client and manipulates the body from head to toes. This relaxes the areas of tension throughout the body, increases flexibility, and elevates the energy level, promoting a good state of health and a high level of well-being. This massage is an excellent option for those who prefer to avoid direct skin contact as the removal of clothing isn’t necessary, and it doesn’t use friction, oils or creams.   It is done on a “tatami,” or futon, on the floor.

CARIBBEAN BREEZE:
A soft therapeutic massage carried out with spiral sea shells, which, in addition to being a muscle relaxant, is also a ritual that harmonizes the senses through the sounds of the sea and exquisite aromas.  Your body will be wrapped in an exclusive cinnamon-based formula and will leave your skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.   

MYSTERIOUS TURKEY:
A therapy carried out with silk scarves that are delicately wrapped around the body to achieve soft stretching and traction. An obsidian rod is also used to exert pressure on the areas of greater muscular contraction. It eliminates stress and muscular tension from head to foot with a unique formula of saffron, ylang-ylang, coriander and cardamom, which allow the scarves to slip gently over the skin. Truly an exotic delight!

INDIAN MAGIC:
An invigorating massage inspired by the thousand-year-old therapies and magical atmosphere of India.  It alternates energetic friction to reactivate circulation and inspire energy with slow strokes, using fine cotton gloves. This massage provides a feeling of well-being and total relaxation.

LIGHTS FROM MOROCCO:
A relaxing massage according to the technique of the ancient Hammam rituals. It dissolves tension and muscular and joint contractions through the manipulation of a handcrafted piece of terracotta, called “Mhakka.” Pamper yourself with this ancient tradition from the mysterious and passionate redlands of Morocco.

POLYNESIAN DANCE:
An atmosphere of reverie with dance movements that flow over your body to achieve a draining massage with monoi oil enriched with ylang-ylang that will immerse you in a deep state of calm.  Inspired by the techniques of Lomi Lomi, this massage uses specific maneuvering with soft cotton fabric that stimulates lymphatic circulation and promotes the elimination of toxins.

TOUCHES FROM AUSTRALIA:
From the virgin rainforests of Australia and the wisdom of its aborigines comes this extraordinary shaping massage. It combines rhythmic movements with Iroko wood to shape the body through soft caresses that give joy and serenity to the spirit.
