Native Reflections
This day spa ritual begins with a sage clearing and blessing. Sage has long been used by Native American people as an herb for cleansing and clearing. Burned in a dried bundle called a smudge stick, it clears negative energies and elevates one's prayers as the smoke lifts to the heavens. Next, soak undisturbed in your ritual bath infused with sage oil. This local, indigenous oil lifts the spirits, clears the lungs and strengthens the respiratory system. The experience continues with a Sacred Stone Massage using our own house-blended desert sage massage oil. The aroma of sage absolutely fills the room and transports you into a timeless and ancient frame of mind—a perfect mood for leaving behind the stresses of the day and reconnecting with the Earth and yourself. Take home a smudge stick as our gift to you. 110 min $225
Javanese Lulur Royal Spa Treatment
This is a regal preparation from the Central Palaces of Java. The luxury begins with a Balinese spa massage with scented oil and continues with an invigorating skin scrub with turmeric, rice, sandalwood and jasmine. Next, you will be slathered with a cool yogurt splash followed by an aromatic shower and a soak in a deep claw-foot porcelain tub infused with rose petals. A moisturizing lotion with Jasmine Frangipani will complete an experience that beautifies, cleanses, exfoliates and leaves the skin with an exotic floral scent. 110 min $225
Samunprai, herbal poultice massage
Drift away tensions while enjoying this unforgettable spa treatment in New Mexico. This traditional hot Thai massage has not changed since Thailand’s Ayutthaya period (14th – 18th centuries) when a hot pack was administered to soldiers returning home from war with muscle aches and bruises. The balancing poultice opens the pores and brings a deep medicinal heat to the muscles to release tensions and revitalize your mind. Then an invigorating massage with a synergy of peppermint and mandarin essential oils will take your body on a journey of total renewal. 80 min $190
