“Sea and senses”… The phrase implies well-being and relaxation. This is the fact. The Sea and senses massage envelops your whole body until you nearly reach a trance. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes you forget the noisy and polluted town outside. Spa Viva is simply an oasis in the noisy Quatre-Bornes town centre.

The light blue logo and decoration within the centre brings anyone to believe that Spa Viva has something to do with water. What could be more natural than to base the treatments on what surrounds the island? Sea could well be the leitmotiv of the centre. All products – from Thalgo – are made with marine algae known for its beneficial virtues for the body.

Hence, the Sea and senses massage perfectly lies in the framework of the beauty care centre. Thanks to its sea salt body scrub, the skin becomes soft and pleasant. The massage with essential oils then makes it even softer while relaxing both body and soul… But the most profitable aspect of the massage lies undoubtedly in the stones used to massage and provides you with a lot of energy.

“The stones are put in salted water, then dried outside with natural wind and sun. They thus absorb all the necessary natural energy, which is passed upon the client when stones are placed on his/her body,” explains Corinne Thomas, the spa manager. These stones are used according to a sort of ritual all over the body so that energy can penetrate it.

As the therapist starts placing the stones, she asks from time to time if they are not too hot. As she starts massaging, she makes sure that the pressure she is applying is appropriate. In a word, she does everything to make you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. The atmospheric music and the smell of the aromatherapy oil will do the rest to put you at ease.

In a low voice, she explains that this massage is a very “special” one as it allows clients to be closed in a sense of well-being while giving more energy to a body full of the stress of the daily routine…
