SPA THERAPY IN FIJI
Pacific Islanders have known about the therapeutic benefits of virgin coconut oil for eons. Local wildflower remedies are also known to have healing properties and the two are often combined in many a Fijian spa ritual. Of course, the ocean itself delivers multiple health benefits too. For it is said that saltwater is the cure for all.
Massage techniques such as the traditional Fijian ‘Bobo’ style have been passed down from generation to generation and are an ideal way to destress while on holiday. Take time out and treat yourself to a rejuvenating mind, body and soul experience at one of the unique day spas listed below. From 5 star luxe to earthy indulgence we’ve got you covered.
