BUSINESS | The Secret Spa — Bubbles of serenity for a well-being getaway

The Secret Spa at Maison 20 Degrés Sud offers the art of relaxation far from view. Customers are invited to truly let go in a bubble of serenity. In this treatment space, it is about personalized care for a unique and privileged experience.

We cannot talk about The Secret Spa without revealing La Maison 20 Degrés Sud, a boutique hotel, in Pointe-aux-Canonniers, a few minutes from Grand-Baie. The place, which was previously an old colonial house, offers a waterfront atmosphere with access to outdoor swimming pools, a spa, two restaurants, 36 rooms and suites. The hotel is also known as having the only spa located within a Relais & Châteaux establishment in Mauritius, an international distinction which rewards independent houses sharing the same philosophy of excellence, authenticity and art of living.

The Secret Spa seduced more than one during its launch last Wednesday, being equipped with a unique character, a complete well-being area including a hammam, a sauna and a jacuzzi. A good atmosphere prevails there.

The Secret Spa, as its name suggests, is a hidden door, even a confidential address intended for those seeking well-being in an intimate setting. In addition, the spa is located in a discreet, almost hidden space, which you discover during the visit. This feeling of finding a preserved place, far from the hustle and bustle, is an integral part of the experience.

Reconnect with the essentials

Five therapists have been trained to guide clients in this quest for happiness thanks to tailor-made care offers. Three treatment cabins thus offer experiences based on the client's request. This place is about a sensory approach. And globally recognized brands are used. The goal is to make each step of well-being a unique moment.

According to Ludivine Chadeffaud, Communications Manager at La Maison 20 Degrés Sud, there are signature treatments that are popular, including the Secret Signature Massage for the fully personalized body. The massage, she will say, is carried out with lotus oil from the Mauritian brand Infusion Cosmetics, whose nourishing and soothing properties are recognized. It is also the only spa in the Relais & Châteaux chain to offer a menu of facial and body treatments by Germaine de Capuccini, to offer a high-end well-being experience. “The results are visible from the first sessions, particularly in for hydration, radiance, firmness and prevention of signs of aging. This search for efficiency, associated with a true sensory experience, corresponds perfectly to the philosophy of The Secret Spa,” suggests Ludivine.

The place also has a skin analysis device equipped with a high-definition camera and different imaging technologies.
