You could be forgiven for thinking you have wandered into Marrakesh when you enter the spa at Mauricia Beachcomber. Designed with Middle Eastern influences, the tall palms overlook a glistening pool. Enter the cool interior and indulge in a soothing massage while the exotic scents of the East ease your body and mind. Then sun yourself at the pool in peace and harmony.
Have you ever climbed a tree to find a relaxing massage? At Canonnier Beachcomber the spa has been built into a centuries-old banyan tree. Rustic stone steps lead you up among the branches to the wooden treatment cabins which look out onto a pool built of granite rocks. The water reflects the branches above you creating a feeling of being alone in the forest. Experienced therapists use treatment methods gained from ancient Indian cultures and their healing hands lull you into a feeling of peace with the world. The treatment cabins open onto a sunny deck for relaxing afterwards.
The fresh and floral aroma of Jasmine greets you as you enter this haven of health and beauty. Tucked away in a shady grove, the thatch-roofed Dinarobin Beachcomber spa is the ultimate escape for the world-weary traveller.
The spa is separated into three main areas:
Central to the complex is an interior swimming pool surrounded by massage rooms, hammams, saunas and a beauty parlour. Relax with a cool fruit juice from the health bar when you’re done. Whatever your favourite brand of pampering, Dinarobin Beachcomber has everything you’re looking for.
This recently refurbished spa – boasting a partnership with a leading Swiss aesthetic house, Valmont – is a dreamy and pampering treat for the body and mind.

The design of this spa blends indoor and outdoor spaces, centering on a main pool and surrounded by a spacious sun deck.
Natural materials including lava stone, granite, wood and slate connect your soul to the tropics all around you. Set amidst lush vegetation and sparkling water features, all cabins open onto private patios set in walled gardens. Two double massage cabins have Japanese baths en suite – perfect for honeymooners.
Expansive ceiling-to-floor windows enhance the feeling of outdoor healing. Favourites include a reiki cabin, a Thai massage cabin, two Ayurvedic cabins, a yoga pavilion and health bar.
