SIGNATURE RITUALS

THE ULTIMATE "FORGET THE OUTSIDE WORLD" TREATMENT Especially recommended for all those who simply can't let go! We therefore suggest that you sign up for this treatment early on during your stay so that we may help you in making the most of your holiday! This tantalizing 105 minute anti-stress treatment combines a 35 minute back and leg massage with a simultaneous facial masque and foot reflexology treatment, followed by a pressure point facial massage, continuing on to an intense scalp and neck massage.

SAND BUNDLE MASSAGE In this treatment, heated sand bags are placed on areas of specific tension. The Sand Bundle treatment begins with a body massage, using an aromatic oil with special emphasis on the pressure points. After the massage has opened up the pores, the therapist begins tapping the body with a sand bundle made of about 250 grams of warm clarified sand. The sand is heated on a hot plate at a temperature of 30 - 40 degrees centigrade. This sends deep, penetrating heat to the tissues and bones and gradually soothes the aches and pains.
