Picture this: your body is cushioned on comfy pillows of warm water as Samadhi therapist
Annah Mirananda applies an invigorating bamboo & Ginseng body scrub. This is later washed away in a mineral rich hydrotherapy spa in a private Oriental Bath house. You're then transported to cloud nine with a luxurious relaxation massage incorporating sacred white lotus flower oil before experiencing sound therapy - a deep meditative healing technique that brings about profound relaxation and a sense of inner peace, says Annah.
"I designed the Floating Lotus Experience to reflect the concept and inspiration behind the establishment of Samadhi Retreat," says Annah.
"The lotus flower is a beautiful and sacred flower. With its roots in the mud, the lotus rises through the murky waters to blossom clean and bright - representing the enlightened being who emerges from the chaos of the world. The floating lotus is truly holistic - it touches body, mind, heart and soul."
