KOH SAMUI


The Style Lab has two stations for manicures, pedicures and Paul Mitchell hair treatments


provides the oils and products for body treatments, including a signature line con- ceived for Koh Samui, while Dermalogica facials are featured alongside spa pack- ages starting at 180-minutes and costing thb6,900 (us$225, €169, £138). Giving Away a unique point of difference


is the Taimazcal, inspired by traditional Mexican temazcal sweat lodges that used natural heat for purification. Set in its own domed structure, with heated rock seating, the thermal facility allows for small groups to self apply body scrubs made from natural ingredients before sweating in volcanic rock- generated steam and then cooling down under a mosaic-lined water wall. “To bring a Tai touch to the social experience, our ther- apists show clients how to make the most of the steam through yoga breathing,” adds spa manager Pornsawan Limphapayom. Tere is also a wide range of Energy-based


activities – sunset yoga, aqua aerobics, Tai boxing and water sports – taking place reg- ularly around the resort. Limphapayom and her team of six therapists take a personalised approach to promoting wellbeing, visiting the beach and meetings during coffee breaks to offer free massages and build awareness of their approach at Away Spa.
