There are two ways of getting back to nature. One is by roughing it in tents. And the other is by visiting a top-of-the-range spa that’s environmentally friendly. As a company policy they don’t even pick flowers here. And the result? A totally natural experience but with every modern luxury.

   Six Senses Spa is special. Very special. And being a part of the renowned resort, Six Senses Samui, in the unspoilt Samrong Bay on the north-east coast, you'd expect it to be peaceful and secluded. And you'd be right.

Arrive at the expansive open terrace in front of this brand-new resort’s reception and you’ll automatically find yourself going to the edge to take in the breathtaking, panoramic 270 degree view across to the neighbouring islands of Koh Som and Koh Pha-Ngan. And from there you’ll spot the small sign for the totally separate spa.

Rustic timber beams form the dozen or so steps that lead you down the side of the hillside to the Six Senses Spa reception. And it’s here that your choices begin – of which there are many.

There are all the treatments you’d expect from a top-class spa, including a comprehensive range of massages, bodywraps, body-scrubs and facials, etc. But, thanks to the spa’s highly experienced and charming Wellness & Spa Manager, Khun Keerana Sripongpunkul, things here are totally tailored to your specifications with a strong spiritual focus on every treatment. A perfect example of this is their therapeutic three-hour Cleansing Ritual spa package which promises to, “… nourish, detoxify and rejuvenate your body inside out.” And as it includes a Herbal Steam & Sauna, an Aromatic Marine Salt Scrub, a Seaweed Body Wrap and ends with a Lymphatic Drainage Massage, it certainly does just that!

And it doesn’t stop there either. There’s yoga (both Iyengar and Ashtanga), reiki, hypnotherapy, tai chi and pilates, and a lot more, too, all under the expert supervision of resident physician, Dr. Serge Landrieu MD PhD.

   There are even more choices too. This time on where to have your treatments. Air-conditioned finery in individual luxury villas or tropical sea-breezes in private salas? And whichever you choose, you’ll have a spectacular view down across a private rocky bay to the Gulf of Siam beyond.

Six Senses Spa is truly world-class, which explains why it’s won so many international awards; the latest being the ‘Award of Excellence for Health Tourism, Health & Resort Spa for Southern Region’ at the prestigious 2010 Thailand Tourism Awards.

Spa Therapies and Packages

This therapeutic spa package will nourish, detoxify and rejuvenate
your body inside out. It is a pampering solution to today’s stressful
living. Package includes Herbal Steam & Sauna, Aromatic Marine
Salt Scrub, Seaweed Body Wrap and ending with Lymphatic
Drainage Massage.

Indulge your senses with relaxing treatments combined into a
pampering experience. You will be treated with a Romance Flower
Bath, Oriental Body Glow Scrub, Senses of Aroma and ending with
Aromatic Facial.

Melt tension away with a hot stone massage using smooth, heated
basalt stones. The warm stones are placed on tension-prone areas
that will be soothed with the right amount of pressure to encourage
muscles to warm up and relax. This is the ideal remedy for chronic
muscle tension, ending with Reiki.

Padabhyana focuses on the lower legs and feet. Warm Ayurvedic
medicated oil is used to improve blood circulation, relax muscles
and nourish the tissues. Feet incorporate all the reflex areas that
correspond to different organs and glands in our body, which are
effectively stimulated and balanced through Padabhyangs.

During a Harmonic Healing, energy chimes are placed on or near
your body and played in intuitive combinations, emitting intriguing
sound pulsations. In this deep state of relaxation, you are slowing
the brain waves, shifting energy blockages, balancing chakras and
realigning both your physical and light bodies with the Universal
Resonance.

Universal Life Energy is transmitted through the hands of the
practitioner to the recipient to support the body’s own ability to
heal itself. Allow your own energy to flow smoothly in harmony
by removing old blockages and stagnant energy. It is energizing,
revitalizing, balancing and deeply relaxing.

We offer a one-hour private Pilates session with Dr. Serge after an assessment of your physical needs, to readjust alignment, symmetry and tone in the whole body structure. After that Dr. Serge will loosen the tensioned or painful muscles and ligaments using his technique of Myotherapie. Expect to feel changes in your body starting the day after until up to two weeks after the treatment.
