Product lines include Sonya Dakar Skincare, Somme Institute, Red Flower and the SPA LUCE signature product line which is featured in several of the spa’s treatments and throughout the women’s and men’s locker rooms and in the spa boutique.
SPA LUCE treatments include:
Japan Ritual: This is a five-part ritual massage treatment, layering the therapeutic properties of flower oils and fruit essences with rich minerals from the earth and sea. The client is purified with yuzu mimosa sea algae, deeply scrubbed with gingergrass, polished with nutrient rich rice bran, and hydrated with rose, camellia and plum. The treatment closes with a shiatsu massage using kinmoxei wild lime silk oil to energize and restore the whole body.
Hammam Ritual: In this five-step massage ritual based on the skin care practices of the hammam bath house, the client will be intensely cleansed with Moroccan mint tea and silt, vigorously scrubbed with coffee, olive stones and fresh lemons, and wrapped in rich rhassoul clay to draw deep impurities out of your body. A Turkish massage using the curative essences of cardamom, jasmine, bergamot, amber and clove follows.
SPA LUCE Custom Treatments: Indulgent body therapy and skin therapy treatments are customized to the guest’s specific needs and desires. Treatments utilize aromatherapy infused massage oils and skincare products best suited for each individual’s skin type.
