The treatments use high-quality, natural products based on plant ingredients that gently support the body and skin. In addition to classic spa treatments, Calm Spa also offers yoga and meditation classes. Sessions often take place outdoors, allowing you to relax and recharge amidst the soothing sounds of nature.
