Spa and Wellness

After spending your time on this earth bound paradise, float away to a heavenly realm with a blissful and rejuvenating spa treatment. From Shiatsu to full facials, there is a treatment to pamper every inch of your body, taking you to new levels of relaxation you never thought possible.

After an action packed day of eco activities, a therapeutic full body massage is a must, leaving you in a state of absolute calm. For weary feet, a reflexology treatment will most certainly do the trick. Treatments take place in the comfort of your suite, in the on site spa facilities, or even in the forest surrounded by ancient Milkwood trees.

Treatments are available in the privacy of your room, or at Garden Lodge or deep in a 100-year-old Milkwood forest.
