Rani Resorts Opens Sanctuary Spa in Mozambique
MARCH 6, 2008. The Indigo Bay Island Resort and Spa on Mozambique's Bazaruto Island is now welcoming guests to its new luxury spa, operated by the renowned Sanctuary Group from South Africa. The Sanctuary Spa at Indigo Bay is only the second of its kind in Mozambique, following the opening of The Sanctuary Spa at Rani's Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa last year. www.raniresorts.com
The Sanctuary Spa at Indigo Bay, opened in January 2008, offers endless ocean views, soothing sea breezes, indigenous treatments and complete relaxation served with a twist of Mozambican and Indian Ocean flavor. African influenced treatments, such as frangipani extracts from Elemis and Cape fynbos from the Moya range, offer a sybaritic experience in the exotic ambience of an exquisite island paradise.
The more than 4,250 square foot spa has five treatment rooms, an ice pool, wet room, hydrotherapy pool, health bar, and relaxation areas to cater to even the most exhausted soul. Treatments also include Swedish massages, milk baths, body brushes, body wraps, hot stone therapies, reflexology and facials, all designed to impart African energy, goodness, and vitality. Guests are treated to physical, mental and emotional wellbeing while enjoying the exquisite vistas of the island and 360 degree views of the Indian Ocean's indigo colored waters. www.indigobayresort.com.
The spa menu at Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa, also managed by The Sanctuary Spa Group, reflects Pemba's Arabic and African influences. Specially trained therapists are on hand to exploit the natural healing and relaxation powers of geranium, snowbush, lanyana and buchu, "the African antidote to modern living". www.pembabeachresort.com
