Stood within this place
of calm and, at the same time, of powerful emotions, there is also a world
apart, where time seems to stop, so that body and soul can find themselves and
renew. Built around a charming tea pavilion and surrounded by water lily ponds,
the Shanti Spa is one of the largest spas in the Indian Ocean, attracting
travellers on the lookout for wellness and serenity, aware of the greatest of
all possessions: health. Yoga and meditation rooms, Pilates studios, Jacuzzi, Olympic-sized
swimming pool, Watsu pool, AquaFit pool, treatment rooms and a gym
are some of the spaces designed with relaxation and wellness in mind. Exclusive
therapies are inspired by Ayurvedic
medicine, yoga, but state-of-the-art hydrotherapy, Watsu massages and treatments, among other options, are also
available and each of them has been created to heal, minimise or prevent
different conditions or needs. The Shanti Spa also specialises in inner body
treatments, including holistic therapies, sensory revitalisation therapy,
spiritual awakening therapy and change of diet therapies, or, in other words,
food re-education. Holistic treatments include, for example, an Ayurveda Choorna Swedana massage, which stimulates
circulation and relieves muscle aches, stiffness and tension, while the
traditional Abhydara, with warm oils
and a four-hand massage, seduces the senses and relieves stress.
Understanding that
wellness begins within, the Shanti Spa offers classes in nutrition and cooking.
With healthy and light dishes made using natural ingredients, food at the
Shanti Spa reflects traditional yet contemporary cuisine. Balancing delicious
flavours, a specialist technique blends old Ayurvedic
concepts, yoga arts and modern nutrition concepts.
The Shanti Spa is also
home to a state-of-the-art gymnasium featuring the latest Technogym equipment, with training programmes synchronised with a
TV or an iPod. For more personalised workouts, guests can benefit from the
experience of personal trainers during their stay.
Combining a variety of
treatments, tailored to individual needs, the Shanti Spa is a peaceful retreat
in the Indian Ocean, a total immersion in discovering a lifestyle geared
towards well-being and a holistic therapeutic approach.
