Created exclusively for One&Only Resorts,
Nature’s Resonance by ESPA is a uniquely developed spa experience built upon two pillars: eco-therapy and vibrational energ. These immersive treatments draw on the beneficial powers of binaural beats, the Solfeggio scale and the rhythms of nature, to harness the positive energ of the earth’s vibrations. These holistic treatments seek to restore harmonious balance, leaving guests more in tune with themselves and with nature.
38 Attuned to a strong sense of place, the
experience entails lying in comfort, cocooned in a sonic composition that blends beneficial binaural beats with an indigenous soundscape. Touch layers a further element to the experience, movements flow across the face and body, mirroring the rhythm of the music to lull into a deep relaxed state bathed in the empowering vibrations of nature. The Sound, Body & Face experience deepens
the treatment, with the acoustic therapy bathing guests in cleansing vibrations and the indigenous sounds of the forest, waterfalls and sea breeze, while the restorative power of touch extends to the face as well as the body, leaving guests feeling relaxed and realigned. Nature’s Resonance by ESPA works in
partnership with eco-tech platform more:trees, to support their commitment to sustainability. For every Nature’s Resonance treatment that’s booked globally, trees will be planted according to the length of treatment; one tree for the
30-minute sound experience, three trees for the 60-minute sound & body experience and five trees are planted for the 90-minute Sound, Face & Body experience. Biologique Recherche treatments have recently
arrived at the One&Only Spa. Founded more than 40 years ago by clinical doctor Philippe Allouche, the Biologique Recherche Methodolog combines innovative products and meticulous protocols. The fragrance-free products are formulated with high concentrations of active ingredients derived from natural and biotechnological compounds. Skincare is provided following a personal dermo-cosmetic diagnosis using a Skin Instant© each individual.
