Spa Business issue 2 2012 - Leisure Opportunities

provides the oils and products for body
treatments, including a signature line conceived
for Koh Samui, while Dermalogica
facials are featured alongside spa packages
starting at 180-minutes and costing
thb6,900 (us$225, €169, £138).
Giving Away a unique point of difference
is the Thaimazcal, inspired by traditional
Mexican temazcal sweat lodges that used
natural heat for purification. Set in its own
domed structure, with heated rock seating,
the thermal facility allows for small groups
to self apply body scrubs made from natural
ingredients before sweating in volcanic rockgenerated
steam and then cooling down
under a mosaic-lined water wall. “To bring a
Thai touch to the social experience, our therapists
show clients how to make the most of
the steam through yoga breathing,” adds spa
manager Pornsawan Limphapayom.
There is also a wide range of Energy-based
activities – sunset yoga, aqua aerobics, Thai
boxing and water sports – taking place regularly
around the resort. Limphapayom and
her team of six therapists take a personalised
approach to promoting wellbeing, visiting
the beach and meetings during coffee breaks
to offer free massages and build awareness
of their approach at Away Spa.
