The ‘No News, No Shoes’ way of life here at Gili Lankanfushi has a way of slowing down your pace and and allows you to take the time to appreciate the gifts of nature. A spa session feels extra relaxing with the sound of waves and a view of what’s underwater.
When you are surrounded by the gifts of nature, the possibilities are endless and a trip to the Meera Spa is a possibility awaiting to become a certainty.
Meera means ocean in the Sanskirt language, and glass floor panels beneath the massage tables offer a peek underwater to heighten the sensual experience.
The Spa offers a range of holistic therapies, and the signature bamboo massage with warmed aromatic oils presents yet another new encounter.
Other facilities include six overwater treatment rooms, a yoga or Tai Chi champa, steam and sauna rooms, as well as a relaxation area with panoramic views of the sea.
My deep tissue massage was chosen by me to reduce stress, working out knots and loosen up tight muscles. This therapy utilises warmed aromatic oils for a sensory experience. It certainly worked for I will swear I fell asleep watching the fish swim beneath my face.
If you’d like to try other indulgent massage treatments, you’ll be spoilt for choice with the extensive massage selection; the Tibetan Singing Bowl Massage, for example, is just perfect when you’re seeking balance and serenity.
Frances chose a facial therapy using Sodashi – a luxury skincare range that is used in Meera Facial Therapy. Therapeutic-grade essential oils and plant actives regenerate the skin and impart a deep sense of wellbeing to spirit and mind. When combined with a facial massage, ingredients such as flower petals, organic herbs and earth clays heal and nurture skin.
The Spa Boutique features a selection of products from Voya Organics and Sodashi, while the resorts newly launched Meera Lifestyle offers a home spa range that includes chakra crystal jewelry, silk sarongs, beach caftans, lavender eye pillows, handmade ceramics, environmental aromas and body products made with signature essential oil blends.
