Monthly Spa Update by Justa Solano

Costa Rica Spa

As April comes and goes, the end of the dry season has begun. It is really amazing to see how quickly everything becomes even greener than it normally is. Here on the Osa Peninsula it is always stunningly beautiful, but this time of year the trees are blooming and many plants are showing off their new growth. Cashew fruit & almonds attract the Scarlet Macaws and other parrots. The flowers on the Banana trees entice the hummingbirds.

At the Spa at Crocodile Bay, we know the importance of using natural products in our Spa Menu, we offer several treatments specifically designed to replenish & rejuvenate your skin. One of the natural treatments that we offer is “Volcanic Clay Body Wrap with Banana Leaves” The soothing effects of volcanic clay mixed with water extracted from Ylang-Ylang flowers is gently applied to your body then covered with banana leaves to promote absorption of these enriching properties. An aloe vera facial mask is applied while resting in this serene cocoon.

So come join us at the Spa. Relax, have a glass of wine or ice tea. Then allow us to pamper your skin and get you ready for whatever other experiences await you here in Puerto Jimenez, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
