PAMPER and indulge, heal and nourish, restore and rejuvenate. Jiva Spas of Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces offer a new lifestyle awareness that is both internal and external.
The Jiva Spa at Taj Green Cove, Kovalam, has products that are natural and uniquely developed from Indian herbs, essential oils and special ingredients. And, the service is open for all, not just the guests, the hotel authorities say.
The spa offers luxurious Indian wellness signature treatments, that are divided into Indian aromatherapy treatments and Ayurvedic treatments. Though the design of Jiva Spas varies across Taj Hotels, the common underlying thread is of creating a sophisticated luxurious and harmonious space by incorporating natural elements, a minimalist yet exotic decor and elements of Vasthusastra. Fragrant gardens, charming courtyards and panoramic ocean views create an ambience of tranquility and serenity. Jiva Spas feature water bodies - in the form of cascades, ponds, soak tubs, chill pools and jacuzzis.
The spa is equipped with single and double treatment suites, beauty treatment rooms, meditation and yoga pavilions, relaxation pools and lounges and a fully-equipped gym. Guests can meditate, take treatments and yoga sessions, and simply relax by themselves or share the experience with a companion. As all Jiva Spas follow the towel techniques, guests’ sentiments for privacy are respected at all times.
