tropical oasis is the perfect retreat into the purest state of
relaxation.
Native
nutrient-rich fruits and floras are the basis of our treatments,
formulated to replenish and restore your inner and outer self.
Let the stress of everyday life fall away as you experience an
invigorating massage. Or slip away into a soothing therapeutic
body treatment for your mind and your body.
Indulge the entire
family with a selection of treatments for kids and teens as well
as for moms and dads. The spa also features a full service beauty
salon featuring hair treatments,
waxing, manicures and pedicures.
Signature treatments
include:
Mocha Thrill
This invigorating treatment will give your skin renewed softness
and color. A full body mocha exfoliation is followed by a body
massage energized with ginger root essential oil (the most ancient
natural source of energy).
I love Aloe
This cleansing ritual was practiced by pre Columbus Dominican
tribes to cleanse and heal the Cacique warriors. The treatment
is based in natural aloe and tender corn. It has a granular
texture, which makes this an effective and gentle exfoliation
treatment. This gentle therapy is recommended for burned skin
that feels sore and sensitive. The body is covered in an aloe
gel and tender corn. While the aloe is absorbed into your body
we will apply an aloe hair mask which nourishes and prevents
sun damage to your hair. After the aloe is absorbed you will
rest under a shower of aloe tonic rain to tone the skin before
a hydrating massage.
A touch of Rum
A high calorie body mask of rich molasses and Dominican rum
followed by a full body massage. This treatment leaves your
skin nourished for several days to come, keeping it radiant
and silky smooth.
Body
treatments include:
Sun Soothing
Water Lily Body Wrap
This highly soothing and cooling gel wrap contains a potent
compound of white water Lily and green tea extract to achieve
a reduced skin temperature and decreased sensation of discomfort
resulting from burned, sensitive skin. This is an ideal after
sun treatment recommended for sun sensitized, sunburned or sun
stressed skin.
Seaweed Body
Wrap
Seaweed has long been recognized for it exceptional benefits.
Rich in minerals, vitamins and enzymes, with a light scent of
sandalwood, this treatment is detoxifying, firming and a great
way to start a battle against cellulite. Not recommended for
very sensitive skin types.
MudHoney Treatment
for moisturizing and nourishing the skin
First we exfoliate your skin with raw sugar and honey. After
a quick body splash with Mother Water (sea water with a rich
mineral content) we apply a mineral rich, hydrating mudhoney
body mask. This treatment concludes with a Mother Water rinse
and a honey milk body massage.
Hydrotherapy includes:
Rain Dance
50 minutes of exfoliating and invigorating massage under a curtain
of water in the Vichy Shower.
Coconut Passion
Coconut body exfoliation in the Vichy Shower is followed by
a skin softening bubble bath in coconut milk. The coconut milk
bath will leave skin silky smooth before a minute hydrating
massage.
Thalasso Hydrotherapy
Thalasso therapy means healing by using sea elements. The treatments
begin with a hydrotherapy circuit through the sauna and steam
rooms before a salt and seaweed exfoliation. Once the skin has
been deeply cleaned by the deep sea elements, we immerse you
into a seaweed bubble bath. The Thalasso treatments conclude
with a hydrating minute massage with mineral essentials oils.
This treatment is especially recommended for those who suffer
from bad circulation and have some muscle soreness.

Hot Stone Therapy
Massage
Soothing, smooth, indigenous stones, lifted from heated water
