Discover and explore the
relaxing Olos massage from Polynesia
by Robyn David, Les Nouvelles Esthetiques S.A.
Travelling
along the dusty path to the Riverview Spa, towards the sound of
the running water of the Crocodile River, most certainly provides
for the ideal environment to experience a massage from the
dream-like islands of Polynesia.
Upon arriving at the magnificent Riverview Spa, I was whisked away
into a world of beauty and tranquillity. It is a spa that is a
true escape into nature, where one can de-stress your mind,
revitalize your body and soothe your soul. This was heightened
upon entering the tastefully decorated treatment rooms of the spa.
As my Polynesian Olos Massage began, the unique Polynesian music
played, with its distinct Polynesian guitar playing allowed me to
leave the world behind and discover a place with clear crystal
water, a place of beauty. I pictured the Polynesian Islands with
their striking coral reefs, untouched beaches, breathtaking
sunsets and casually fitted hammocks in palm trees, as my skilled
therapist used two crystal sea green cotton sheets to envelope my
body to create sweet dance movements in harmony to the music and
the waves of the sea. The stunning Monoi Massage Oil was applied
to my body, a precious oil obtained from the Tiare flower and
Coconut, which is highly hydrating. It is enriched with
Ylang-Ylang essential oil that stimulates the circulation and,
with its intense flowery perfume, infuses calm and relaxation
during the massage.
The sensory experience was continued through the use of exclusive
massage techniques, inspired by Lomi Lomi massage, specific hand
movements which stimulate the lymphatic circulation and have a
draining action, alternated with long gentle strokes that envelop
the body and spirit. This phenomenal massage allows one to escape
and truly discover a peace of mind, and fulfilment of the spirit
that one only experiences on a exclusive island filled with
harmony and beauty.
