East meets West at the renowned Bahamas spa Mandara at Atlantis Paradise Island. Treatments draw inspiration from Balinese traditions and incorporate European techniques and local ingredients to give guests a multicultural take on relaxation. Spacious and tranquil, the Mandara Spa is decorated in calming tones of cream and beige with accents of dark wood and sleek marble flooring. There are 35 treatment rooms, where skilled technicians provide a range of treatments and therapies, as well as a fitness center, sauna, whirlpool, cool plunge pool and steam room.

The Menu: Mandara provides a full spa and salon menu with a variety of massage options such as aromatherapy and hot-stone, deep-tissue and sports massages, as well as various cleansing and anti-aging facials, body wraps and scrubs. The full-service salon offers hair and nail services, and the Elemis Time for Men Barber shop provides salon treatments exclusively for men. Traditional Balinese therapies like the Elemis Exotic Coconut Rub and Milk Ritual Wrap use natural ingredients like coconut, mung bean, lavender and unique blends of spices, as well as exotic methods like Monoi Oil and Milk hydrating baths.

The Must-have: Said to promote weight loss so efficiently that it can shave up to eight inches off your frame, the Ionithermie Algae Detox is one of Mandara’s most popular treatments. An exfoliating algae scrub is massaged into the skin and then covered in fabric, followed by the application of Ionithermie clay. This special clay acts as a heat conductor, affecting cellular activity and beginning the detoxification process. Electronic pads are then applied to the clay, and electro-stimulation infuses algae extracts deep into the skin tissue. After this process, a relaxing massage ensures you leave feeling light as air.
