Pop Up Kids Spa to return to Shanti Maurice


A Pop Up Spa for guests aged between five- and 15-years-old is to make a return to the Shanti Maurice resort in Mauritius between July and September this summer. Te outdoor, cabana-style facility has


already operated throughout the Easter holidays in order to give younger guests a taste of the resort’s Nira Spa. Spa manager Novie Jones said: “With an


increase in children’s spa interest, instead of turning our younger guests away to protect the adults-only haven that is Nira Spa, we simply pamper them in a different area. “Not neglecting our ethos of remaining


all natural, we thought this a wonderful opportunity where a junior spa could have the double edged effect of pampering, while educating future adults of the value of leav- ing a green footprint.” Jones added that Africology had been


involved in devising a range of 100 per cent natural products for use on children’s skin, which are also “completely edible”.
