Wellness
Aava Spa is petite but built respecting ancient Thai traditions of architecture as well as spa treatments. Aava Resort and Spa has a philosophy that you should aim to treat the mind, body and soul to equal levels of relaxation, health and happiness. The spa offers different spa treatments ranging from Thai massages, body therapies to facial treatments. They only use natural products. What we love is their wellness practitioner who leads their daily group classes, such as Pilates, Tai-Chi and yoga, often on the beach.
Facilities include swimming pool, treatment rooms and sauna. In 2021 hotel built a wonderful new yoga studio and also expended their spa team so more treatments and expertise is now available. Also new programme Yoga, Nature and Wellbeing has been designed in 2021. It is a combo of nature based excursions, yoga and wellbeing activities so perfect for those who want to see the local area but have some relaxing wellness experience too.
