Sourced from age-old therapies, and updated with modern knowledge, the spa’s ‘East-meets-West’ Thai health and beauty practices are enhanced by high-quality spa products and herbal preparations crafted from fresh, natural ingredients – many of which are available to purchase at the spa’s onsite shop, Devarana Gallery.
