AMARA Launches New Ocean Inspired Wellness Retreat

Thalassotherapy, a centuries-old wellness practice that utilizes the healing properties of seawater and minerals, has seen a significant surge in interest, with a 450% increase in Google searches and interest in “#oceantherapy” on TikTok has also surged globally. This growing trend has led AMARA, a five-star hotel in Limassol, Cyprus, to introduce its new Thalassotherapy Retreat.

The retreat is a curated wellness programme inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and will be hosted at the 3,000m² AMARA Spa. The spa features an adults-only seawater infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean, providing a holistic oasis for guests.

AMARA Spa is a key part of the hotel’s offerings. They have designed the retreat to help guests reset both physically and mentally. The spa’s extensive facilities, including thermal facilities and an indoor swimming pool, offer a serene environment for relaxation and self-discovery. The retreat’s programme is carefully crafted to provide a full wellness experience, incorporating a range of treatments and activities tailored to individual needs and preferences.

The retreat offers three- and five-day wellness programmes. These programmes include tailored spa treatments, aqua aerobics, and flexible options for those seeking either a shorter wellness escape or a more immersive experience. The three-day retreat provides a concise introduction to the benefits of Thalassotherapy, while the five-day retreat offers a more in-depth exploration of the practice and its applications. Guests can choose the programme that best suits their schedule and wellness goals, ensuring a personalized and effective experience.

The three-day retreat begins with the signature Cyprus Ancient Ritual, a sensorial treatment that gently exfoliates and brightens the skin. It concludes with a full body massage infused with rosemary and lemon essences to promote deep relaxation. This ritual is inspired by ingredients native to the island, including organic olive oil, crushed carob seeds, and warmed citrus fruit, which are carefully selected for their therapeutic properties and soothing effects on the skin.

Guests opting for the five-day retreat will experience advanced wellness experiences, including the Rose and Jasmine Aroma Massage and the Revitalising Cryo Facial. The extended retreat also includes an exclusive studio Pilates session and an Aqua Aerobics class. The Revitalising Cryo Facial combines microcurrent technology, light therapy, and cryotherapy with potent active ingredients to visibly tighten, lift, and restore radiance to the skin.

Alongside the scheduled treatments, guests will enjoy daily access to the resort’s extensive wellness and fitness facilities, including the adults-only outdoor saltwater infinity pool, thermal facilities, and indoor swimming pool. The resort’s Technogym-equipped fitness centre and floodlit tennis court also offer opportunities for physical activity and recreation.

Moments of calm can also be found within the spa’s library and juice bar, offering tranquil spaces for relaxation and reflection throughout the retreat.

The new retreat further strengthens AMARA’s position as one of Cyprus’ leading luxury wellness destinations, similar to those found in luxury travel hotspots. By offering a unique and full Thalassotherapy programme, AMARA caters to the growing demand for holistic wellness experiences, providing guests with a transformative and rejuvenating escape from the stresses of everyday life.

The three-day retreat package is priced at €750 (€250 per day), while the five-day retreat package is priced at €1,200 (€240 per day).
