HOTEL KO LANTA Yoga, Wellness & Spa Treatments
In Asia, spa has evolved into a concept focussing on the spiritual and natural, drawing from traditions of meditation, respect for nature and the desire to achieve physical and mental well being, the key to maintaining health and beauty.

In Thailand, the concept of spa blends with the ancient traditions of natural healing through herbal baths, massage, meditation, and the continued pursuit of inner and outer beauty. Before the arrival of modern medicine in Thailand, the temple was the the centre of learning for all disciplines, including medicine. Monks therefore played the role of doctor and pharmacist, prescribing herbal remedies, steam compresses, massages and other such treatments for the relief of various ailments. Spa therapy is another choice to feel relaxed and rid away your aching. Most up-scale hotels and resorts offer their unique therapeutic session.

Recommendations from fellow travelers

all along the beach, there are little huts with mats and pillows, where people sit and wait to do thai massages. for around 250 baht or thereabouts, you can get a 1 hour thai massage, which i've heard, can be quite brutal! they also do oil massages and hair braiding as well. thai massage is where they stretch and flex your muscles, using an ancient form of the massage which has been passed down through hundreds of years. it is the traditional thai way of doing the massage. i think i'll just stick to a nice swedish massage thanks!
