One of the best parts about a vacation is the opportunity to get away from your daily routines to relax and unwind.  Plan a day to sleep in, lounge by the pool or swim in the sea. Take that relaxation up a notch by treating yourself to a wellness spa session.  At Hamanasi we offer classic treatments such as Deep Tissue and Swedish massages as well as some unique offerings that are definitely worth trying. 

Treat yourself to one of these 4 extraordinary wellness treatments!

Fresh fruits and wellness treatments?!  Absolutely!  They can be combined to create a unique and rejuvenating experience with our Papaya Facial. The natural enzymes in our Papaya Facial promote cellular turnover and skin renewal. This 4-step treatment removes dead skin, unclogs pores and reduces acne while soothing and brightening your skin. Made fresh from local and natural ingredients.

Combine this with the Swedish massage for an ultimate “treat yourself’ and relaxing combo!

2. Garifuna Herbal Infusion Massage with Coco Azucar Foot Scrub & Hot Stone Foot Massage

Developed here at Hamanasi with homage to the local culture, the Garifuna Herbal Infusion massage oil is infused with herbs such as Polly RedHead, Oregano, Sage and Lemongrass.  This combination has properties to help remove impurities and detoxify the skin.  Enjoy these benefits as you de-stress and find emotional balance with the earthy scents of this oil and copal incense.

Take a deep breath and experience the calming aroma of peppermint while enjoying the benefits of increased blood circulation and antispasmodic qualities that help muscles to relax.  A soothing massage for the mind and body uses medium pressure while combining the refreshing and stimulating benefits of peppermint. This can be solo or a romantic couples massage. 

4. Seaweed Body Wrap & Seaweed Facial Mask

Relish in the natural benefits of seaweed to detoxify and nourish the skin, resulting in tighter smoother skin for an improved look and feel.  In this unique wellness treatment, locally sourced seaweed is prepared into a gel which is applied to your skin. While wrapped in a thermal blanket so your skin can absorb the benefits of the seaweed, enjoy a cleansing seaweed mask. After the seaweed gel has been removed, relax with a full body massage.
