Nestled at Santiburi Koh Samui, the Santiburi Spa invites you to experience Thai massages, herbal steams, reiki transformations and a lot more!
Imagine checking yourself in at a spa in a luxury hotel in Thailand. What would you expect? The aroma of essential oils, a dimly lit room, sounds of nature that surround your therapy room, and the smiling face of an expert therapist who would take you to the gates of serenity. Right? While you will find yourself in this scenario most often, there is a spa in Thailand that not only encourages you to relax but also Eat well, Sleep well, Stay well and Explore well!
Case in point: the newly opened Santiburi Spa at the Santiburi Koh Samui – a wellness retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand. Drawing inspiration from the Sanskrit word “Shanti”, meaning peace, the spa aims to transform peace from a fleeting moment into a profound state of being, essential to realigning mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
What to Expect at the Thai Spa?
Based on the foundation of Shanti, i.e., peace, the spa provides therapeutic experiences into every aspect of your treatment. Open the spa menu and you will find a multitude of options to choose from, ranging from traditional Thai massages to tailor-made treatments like aromatherapy massages, hot stone therapy, Vichy showers and more.
Moringa, renowned as one of the best superfoods for its impressive nutritional profile and revered in traditional medicine across Asia, forms a key component of the resort’s wellness practices. And through The Moringa Project, you can reap the benefits of the miracle tree of life. Try the body massage with moringa oil or opt for a 120-minute journey that pairs moringa oil with a clear quartz crystal to stimulate the immune system and restore balance to your body.
What Are the Signature Treatments?
The signature spa treatment “Journey of Samui” is a 120-minute treatment using natural ingredients and a coconut oil massage with a foot bath, an herbal steam and a gentle coconut scrub before concluding with a refreshing drink of coconut water. The best part? You get to plant your own coconut tree after your treatment to make it forever memorable!
Another Hero spa experience, “Santiburi Synchronised Serenity” (120 minutes), addresses muscle tension through a four-hands massage that blends Swedish and Thai relaxation techniques and incorporates a gentle body scrub and a warm Vichy shower to promote a deep sense of calm.
Come Here For a Spiritual Wellness Experience
Beyond the spa trends, the Thai wellness retreat also invites local wellness experts that will help you align your chakras, balance your energies and uplift you spiritually. Energy healer Keerana Sripongpankul offers transformative sessions such as emotional healing, reiki transformation, energy enhancement with singing bowls, and resonance retreats centred around the serene art of sound bath practices.
What’s Special to Look Out For?
Enhancing the resort’s dedication to well-being is an exclusive partnership with HARNN, a brand celebrated for its refined approach to traditional Thai beauty rituals and holistic wellness. The collaboration has given rise to the Santiburi Bath & Body Collection by HARNN, featuring the exclusive “PEACE” blend, available in all guest rooms. Inspired by the rare ylang-ylang trees nurtured in the serene environment of the property, this blend captures the flower’s purest essence—renowned for its calming aroma and natural ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Combined with soothing lavender, it creates a truly grounding and restorative experience. In addition, you can also choose HARNN massage oils to enrich your Aroma Oil Massage, further elevating your luxury spa experience.
