Chahoya Spa by L’Occitane, Cable Beach Club, Broome

- By Sue Wallace

The smell of frangipani and other tropical blooms greet you as you enter Chahoya Spa by L’Occitane, set among manicured grounds in a quiet corner of Broome’s Cable Beach Resort. Once through the doors, you know you’re in for a treat as you are immediatel­y cocooned in comfort, well before your treatment starts, in one of seven private suites adorned with original Sidney Nolan artwork. Chahoya, which is the Japanese word for pamper, is a nod to Broome’s rich Japanese pearling heritage and the peace and tranquilli­ty associated with Japanese culture.

While there are many treatment options on offer, the popular two-hour signature Chahoya Dreamtime treatment, inspired by the Kimberley landscape, is perfect. It uses ingredient­s sourced from the local indigenous community Lombadina, including Kakadu Plum, the world’s highest source of Vitamin C. It starts with an invigorati­ng Kakadu shea scrub followed by a nourishing wrap, allowing time for the native extracts that stimulate collagen for firming, brightenin­g and rejuvenati­on, to soak in. A relaxing foot and scalp massage leave you feeling totally relaxed. After a warm outdoor shower in the private courtyard, a 60-minute body massage ensures skin is deeply nourished and renewed. It’s a perfect treatment after a day around the pool of the award-winning resort, or on nearby Cable Beach. cablebeach­club.com
