Splurge: Oriental Harmony is an hour and 50-minute treatment that inspires a harmony of the senses. It begins with a soothing foot bath, followed by two therapists working together in time and movement while providing a warm scrub and relaxing massage. The treatment concludes with a simultaneous head and foot massage, leaving the entire body energized.
The Zen room.
Most Unique Treatment: The Chakra Rebalance Treatment is our most unique (and my favorite) experience. The treatment features one hour and 50 minutes of a massage and meditative experience. Accompanying the massage is exclusive use of the Meditative Nap Experience on the Gharieni Spa Wave Table. Combining gentle sound waves with a highly efficient vibration massage system, the Spa Wave Table aligns the bodies chakras for deep relaxation. The treatment addresses stress reduction, vibroacoustic frequency healing, chakra balancing and sleep enhancement.
