Beauty steeped in Vietnamese heritage at Six Senses Spa Con Dao  

In Vietnam, beauty is a timeless harmony between nature and tradition. It lingers in the morning dew on lotus petals, the golden glow of turmeric in the garden, and the soothing touch of coconut oil massaged into the hair and body at dusk. Inspired by these cherished rituals, Six Senses Spa Con Dao unveils the Natural Vietnamese Facial to honor the essence of Vietnamese heritage through local ingredients. Coconut oil sourced from the shores of Con Dao Island hydrates and softens. Lotus petals —emblems of purity—are blended with rice bran to refine and illuminate the complexion. Golden turmeric, celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, restores vitality. A chilled herbal compress soothes the skin while imparting an uplifting sense of serenity. 

Your path to inner beauty continues with yogic and Ayurvedic practices. The Jal Neti cleansing gently clears the nasal passages, promoting clarity, vitality, and deepened breath awareness. Shirodhara, where warm oil is gently poured over the forehead, calms the nervous system, helping to alleviate stress and enhance mental clarity. Or target a specific concern by consulting with Dr. Sudheep Karunakaran, a fifth-generation Ayurvedic doctor and integrated wellness practitioner from India. He specializes in pulse diagnosis, Ayurvedic nutrition, lifestyle enhancements, and Marma therapies.

Voyage to vitality at Six Senses Spa Ninh Van Bay 

Crowning a secluded peninsula, Six Senses Spa Ninh Van Bay is a sanctuary in the hilltops to treat you from top to toe. This month, the spotlight is on the 150-minute Vietnamese Journey, a voyage across the S-shaped country that taps into medicinal herbs and ingredients, many of which are grown in our gardens, and then blended to relax the body, eliminate toxins, and boost the circulation. It begins with the fragrant Com Xanh (Vietnamese green rice) body scrub, allowing the nourishing properties to exfoliate and soften your skin. Next, the rhythmic coconut oil and bamboo massage soothes tired muscles and promotes deep relaxation. Warm, aromatic herbal poultices of Tia To, Ngai Cuu, and Kinh Gioi are also incorporated, delivering an extra layer of therapeutic benefits. 

Revitalized to the core, head to our hillside fitness center, which is open all hours. When the going gets tough, the panoramic bay views will help you through, and for added motivation, you can also book a workout with our resident personal trainer. 

An alchemy adventure: Thai traditions reimagined at Six Senses Spa Yao Noi

Six Senses Spa Yao Noi takes you on an adventure into Thailand’s healing rituals; and it all starts at the Alchemy Bar. With a little guidance from skilled alchemists, you will hand-blend fresh scrubs, balms, and masks using herbs from our organic garden and sourced locally. Think plai, lemongrass, and turmeric: all remedies that Thai healers have trusted for generations. It’s hands-on, fun, and best of all, completely natural. Tailor a signature body scrub or warm poultice to use in a Thai Herbal Massage, rolling over pressure points to melt away tension and leave your skin glowing. 

Silk cocoons from North Thailand also hold the secret to firmer, younger-looking skin. The Thai Silk Facial is packed with 12 amino acids to boost elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and restore sun-kissed skin to its luminous best. 

Human touch and heartfelt care at Six Senses Spa Samui

Let the tropical sea breeze flow over you as you find balance in a private Sala at Six Senses Spa Samui. The session opens with the soothing vibrations of a Tibetan singing bowl, helping to clear negative energy and prepare both body and mind to receive the full benefits of the treatment. It continues with the Thai Ancient massage, designed to stimulate blood circulation and ease muscle tension, strain, and joint stiffness using the therapeutic warmth of a Thai herbal compress ball.

And it deepens with a combination of Chakra Balancing and Harmonic Healing Chime. Firstly, your therapist applies Reiki to the body’s seven main chakras, helping to release old energetic blockages and encourage a smooth, balanced energy flow. Energy chimes are then placed on or near the body and played in intuitive sequences, sending gentle sound waves through you. These vibrations promote a profound state of relaxation, slow the brain waves, and harmonize both your physical and energetic bodies with Universal Resonance.

Spa-aahing, Six Senses style, is rooted in culture, powered by nature, and sprinkled with a little wonder.
