Built on the cliff with a spectacular view of Anse Cochon, this beautiful spa is a unique place on the island! The treatments are based on natural products from the tropical forest. They are performed by Balinese masseuses who have "the grip"! After the massage, the private bubble bath is a moment of pure happiness! The "star" product? The chocolate body scrub with nutmeg and cocoa, appreciated for its antioxidant qualities. For those who are just passing through, think of the daily pass!

Emilie specializes in wellness massages. In addition to “lymphatic drainage”, a method that combines lymphatic stimulation movements with Chinese energy points to detoxify, she practices abhyanga, the oldest massage in the world, which leads to a total letting go, thanks to targeted pressure and stretching.

On the only street in the village of Dominicus, between souvenir stores, local craftsmen and tour operators, there are many more or less serious "massage" proposals. Samsara Spa is the most recommended for its cleanliness: 5 cabins are on offer, with laser or wax hair removal, facials, pedicures, manicures and, of course, several types of massage performed by qualified staff. Prices are obviously much lower than in some nearby hotels, for an equivalent service.
