Insider’s Favorite: The Mystique Barú is one of our favorite treatments from the menu. This head-to-toe experience is inspired by the essence of the island, incorporating elements of coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood to immerse you in a tropical paradise. The chiromassage technique gently stretches the arms and legs, loosening the upper and lower back.

Our recommendation is to use the steam bath and sauna at the end of your treatment before relaxing in the solarium, taking advantage of body temperature and oxygenation of the respiratory system to fully appreciate the pure air and sea breeze.

The resort also has a fitness center with incredible views.

Featured Products: The brands featured in the spa are Éccora, Sothys, Bernard Cassiere, Germaine de Capuccinni, Cosmoderm, Pevonia, Gerard’s, Mediestetica, and Lozanika.
