Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina in the British Virgin Islands recently introduced a new Ayurvedic menu at the property’s Ixora Spa.
Based on one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, the cliff-side spa’s new Ayurvedic menu offers an array of wellness treatments and packages for spa enthusiasts.
“We’re delighted to bring the ancient healing systems of India to the Caribbean, where our guests can fully experience the beneficial effects of Ayurveda through a variety of customized wellness treatments,” said Raja Mannar Chinnaraju, Scrub Island’s spa director, in a written release. “This new menu of options at Ixora reflects our ongoing mission of leaving guests with peaceful minds, relaxed muscles and beautiful skin.”
Developed thousands of years ago in India, Ayurveda is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance of mind, body and soul.
At Ixora, guests can choose from a range of Ayurvedic experiences. Menu highlights include Abhyanga, a whole-body massage with herbal oil; Shirodhara, a treatment of warm herbal oil poured directly onto the forehead and scalp; and the Herbal Poultice Massage, with warm essential oils drizzled over the body. The menu also includes a complete Ayurvedic Consultation to determine body type and current state of mind, with recommendations on nutrition, yoga and purification treatments.
Customized massage services are also offered. Guests can choose from the Signature De-Stress Massage, Thai Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and others.
The North Beach Safari is an outdoor massage experience at the water’s edge, with unobstructed views of the Caribbean.
Named for the native tropical shrub, the 3,000-square-foot Ixora Spa is located on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
