Wholesome and Holistic

You may have heard about the farm-to-table concept, but at Anantara we take the idea one step further – to the massage table. Anantara Spa is rooted in Thai healing traditions matched with unrivalled hospitality, yet we always ensure that we pay homage to the lands surrounding each hotel. 

In Indonesia’s ‘Spice Island’ of Bali, our signature body scrub uses black rice, cloves and flowers from the virgin rainforests of Borneo. Our Cliff-top Romance experience follows up a fragrant floral bath and massage with a five-course gourmet dinner showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients. Or you can experience Balinese healing with a Boreh Body Wrap, combining mineral-rich white kaolin clay with local spice and bark.

At Anantara Angkor Resort, we also work closely with the earth to create a variety of original treatments. The Pink Salt Scrub contains homemade prolei, a traditional Khmer herbal powder, followed by an application of Khmer body cream to leave the skin silky soft. Here, you can dabble in herbal healing yourself with workshops in herbalism and mixology. Create unique herbal teas inspired by ancient and ancestral plant medicine, that offer both complex flavour profiles and healing benefits.

Not only do we use the freshest ingredients in our treatments, but many of our wellness programmes, such as the Ancient Thai programme at Anantara Riverside Bangkok, give you a taste of nourishing local cuisine. Relax in a lush garden setting with a post-treatment snack of soup or salad featuring fresh seasonal ingredients to help balance mind, body and spirit. For more authentic goodness, our Wellness Cuisine makes healthy eating effortless by including delicious Thai ingredients such as mango, lychee and lemongrass.
