The approach to healing is very simple. The spa uses an exclusive hand-blended, plant-based range of Tierra Santa muds, scrubs, and essential oils inspired by generations of shamanic wisdom in South America. These homeopathic ingredients are activated by heat and steam, resulting in profound physical, mental, and spiritual purification and restoration.
The Wet Spa at Tierra Santa
For an invigorating pre-treatment experience, guests are invited to enjoy the Wet Spa one hour prior to their treatment. Guests can add a unique Bathing Ritual, at an additional cost, with ingredients from spa’s own organic hand-crafted range of muds, scrubs, and oils activated by heat and steam, resulting in the ultimate cleansing and restoration of mind, body, and spirit.
Staging Area
After a warm welcome, the staff will prepare you for the spa journey. Hang your robe, collect a peshtamal towel, and slice slivers of handmade soap into a copper bowl. Settle your mind with deep cleansing breaths and you’re ready to begin. Here, if added, you will receive your choice of muds, scrubs, butter, and oils available at reception. Choose from one of each category to create your own Tierra Santa experience with these unique South American healing ingredients:
Purifying Scrubs: Choice of verbena, aloe vera, or mimosa scrub
Healing Clays: Choice of calendula and bentonite clay or an aloe vera calming mask
Nourishing Oils and Butters: Choice of sandalwood, lavender, eucalyptus oil, or verbena butter.

Every guest’s journey starts and ends in the Waterfall, a shower that prepares the body for heat therapy and provides final cooling and cleansing before departure.
3. Hammam
A time-honored cleansing ritual featuring a heated hexagonal gobek tasi made of Amazonite stone where scrub treatments are performed by intuitive therapists. Destress while inhaling jasmine-infused steam and relax as the stone’s warmth soothes sore muscles and joints, easing all tension.
