Signature Treatment

Finisterra Infante This treatment by VOYA has a very relaxing and calming effect, starting with a body lavender scrub followed by a seaweed wrap and finally, a herbal compress of chamomile.

We Love

• India Vasco da Gama is a real warm aromatic treat. Sensual and intense, the process is ideal for re-mineralising the body and releasing muscular tension. This is done with heated red jasper and semi-precious stones, aromatic oils of cinnamon and rose and precious minerals such as silica to stimulate your body and skin and encourage regeneration. Bliss.  
• Japanese seaweed treatment makes use of the wonderful benefits of the sea. The entire treatment involves being wrapped in giant seaweed from head to toe, not unlike a real sushi! You'll feel delicious.
