We don’t try to be a hotel-spa with a long luxury treatment list. We are a small, dedicated team of therapists who know their craft, working in a quiet block beside the pool. The menu is short, the bookings are flexible, and the morning yoga on the beach is — quietly — one of the things people come back for.
No. The spa is operated by Lavender Spa, an independent team of therapists who lease the space from Mr. Kahawa. Treatments, bookings, and payments are all handled by Lavender Spa directly. We host them on our property and recommend them to our guests.
