Its Sanctuary Spa harnesses the therapeutic powers of cinnamon and tea-based ingredients, sourced from the verdant surroundings, to create treatments that are both restorative and deeply rooted in local tradition. Here, each therapy is a journey—an opportunity to revive oneself through practices that have endured through the ages.

Post-Safari Aromatherapy Massage

After your day out exploring, be pampered at the spa with this deeply invigorating ritual. Expert therapists use a combination of gentle and hard pressure strokes throughout your body to soothe you from your adventures. Done in conjunction with heated essential oils that can uplift or calm you down, it’s a treat that brings supreme bliss.

Herbal Body Scrub

Combined with gentle massage, this sensory experience leaves you feeling fresher and lighter, with brighter skin nourished by local ingredients.

Balinese Massage

Head + Neck + Shoulder Body Ritual

Are you prone to tension headaches and shoulder stiffness from working in a seated position all day? This comforting ritual from Wild Coast Tented Lodge focuses on unknotting your head, neck, and shoulders. Say goodbye to tension and stiffness, and hello to an overall lighter feeling.
