Yes To Beauty Spa
Yes To Beauty
Housed in a chic pale stone building nestled on a hillside bursting with Mediterranean greenery, the Yes To Beauty Spa’s raison d’etre is absolute indulgence, combining ancient methods with contemporary science to create the pinnacle of wellness for body and soul.
Everything on hand in the beautifully designed spa is to help you unwind, rejuvenate and restore your senses, whether it’s taking a dip in the indoor lagoon pool with underwater vitality jet loungers, relaxing in the thermal area – which includes a traditional coal sauna, Turkish Hammam and aromatherapy steam room – or taking a plunge in the Thalassotherapy Spa Bath with its 252 power jets. You’ll also find a Mediterranean Herbal Sauna overlooking the Adriatic Sea, infused with locally sourced rosemary, lavender, and immortelle for a truly authentic wellness experience. Chilling in the relaxation zone with its stunning views over the Adriatic, or lazing on the sun terrace at the Vitality juice bar are a must.
The spa also offers the Natura Bissé Pure Air Bubble spa concept. Featuring an actual giant bubble, once inside, you’ll breathe in 99.99% pure air, free from contaminants, viruses, allergens and bacteria, which allows skin to fully absorb the rejuvenating benefits of treatments.
Massage therapies are personally tailored and include Thai, Balinese, hot stone and deep tissue techniques, with romantic tailored massage experiences for couples. Signature experiences include the Natura Bissé C+C Royal Experience, a powerful antioxidant treatment with pure vitamin C for face and body which nourishes, firms and revitalises from head to toe. Professional skin analysis with the Observ 320 device is also on offer, a machine which scans the deeper layers of your skin to diagnose the root causes of any skin problems, whether ageing, dehydration, sun damage or pigmentation, to pinpoint the ideal treatment.
There’s also a Kid’s Spa menu offering massages and facials using natural products specially formulated for the skin of children and pre-teens.
