WELLNESS AT A BEACHSIDE RESORT

Experience Kaya Kalp – The Royal Spa in the serene environs of the 45-acre beachside ITC Grand Goa Resort & Spa

Surrounded by shimmering lagoons and swaying coconut palms on South Goa’s Arossim Beach, ITC Grand Goa Resort & Spa is aesthetically inspired by IndoPortuguese culture. Enjoy Goan hospitality while staying at one of the Sea View Suites, and gaze at the Arabian Sea while sitting in your private garden. To indulge in some pampering, you can head to the property’s sanctuary of rejuvenation, Kaya Kalp – The Royal Spa.

A courtyard of tranquility, with an elegant space for yoga and meditation sessions, is surrounded by 16 treatment rooms in which you can relax with the spa’s signature treatments and programmes. Recapturing the spiritual and medical legacy of India, age-old customs are used to take you on a wellness journey with the ‘Dance of the Elements’ philosophy. Opt for a spa package, ‘Samudra - The Marine Experience’, which uses seaweed and mineral-rich ingredients to tone the body and mind. A firming wrap with marine algae detoxifies the body, followed by a nourishing facial that uncovers youthful skin.

Attain wellness through Ayurvedic treatments and choose the ‘Bhuja Raksha’ therapy to ease your back muscles and relieve tension. In this, apart from pressure point stimulation, warm herbal powder bags are placed on specific areas to relax underlying tissues. Couples looking for a romantic spa experience should try the ‘Pomegranate Sugar Scrub’, which polishes the body to perfection with exotic pomegranate extract, or experience local flavours with the ‘Goan Cashew Ritual’. Focussing on the energy of your soul, the holistic journeys here blends together contemporary and traditional wellness to help you discover yourself.
