The Sanctuary Spa

The Sanctuary Spa at Atmosphere – an oasis of wellness

The Sanctuary Spa is synonymous with Wellness. Our award-winning spa promotes physical and mental relaxation with a tranquil tropical setting and variety of treatments such as a dozen massages, Watsu’s, facials, body treatments, healing baths, foot and hand treatments, children’s spa services etc.

When the doors open to The Sanctuary Spa at Atmosphere, it unveils a secret garden where five treatment pavilions nestle discreetly among running waterfalls, ponds and tropical plants. Each pavilion has two treatment tables and its own unique bathroom. Also present in the Spa is a heated pool for Watsu (water shiatsu) treatments. The central Shala is The Sanctuary’s relaxation and reception area where you can recline and read a book to escape the mid-day sun.

In 2017 and 2018, our Sanctuary Spa won a prestigious award at the worldwide Luxury Spa Awards. We took home the global world wide award for Best Luxury Garden Spa and we also won the regional award for Best Luxury Spa Retreat in the Philippines.

We pride ourselves in eight unique full-body massages to choose from, each beginning with a foot ritual and ending with a tea ceremony where you will be served a pot of natural, made-to-order herbal tea. The massages on offer are Atmosphere Relaxing Massage, Atmosphere Signature Massage, Hilot (Traditional Filipino Massage), Thai, Bamboo Massage, Stress Reliever and Hot Stone Massage, Filipino Warm Lava Shell Massage. We also offer shorter treatments such as Reflexology, Stress reliever, Executive back massage, Indian Head massage etc.

Couples who wish to engage in a romantic experience can chose to have treatments run side by side, with a bath for two afterwards. For an in-depth description of our massages, this links you to the spa menu.

The Sanctuary offers a mix of all-natural facials and body treatments using local natural indigenous ingredients. Facials, Body wraps and body scrubs are an excellent way of obtaining that smooth skin after a day spent in the water or in the sun.

Choose between our all natural revitalizing Plant Extract facial or the rejuvenating Fruit Extract facial to cleanse, tone and moisturize.

All wraps use the traditional approach where you will be wrapped in banana leaves with your choice of body mask to lock in the moisture and minerals of the treatment. Our body treatments range from natural body scrubs using coffee, carrot, coconut, ginger, oat and mint, to body wraps using papaya, pineapple and coconut. we even have a natural aloe vera and cucumber wrap for sun kissed skin that needs some additional cooling down. All treatments can be combined with healing baths, face masks and foot masks.

Other than our massages, wraps, scrubs, facials and other body treatments, a spa would not be complete without some of the additional treatments that you can choose to have done on their own, but also in conjunction with other spa treatments.

We offer a range of wellness services such as after sun care, foot spa and pedicures, manicures (regular and gel), waxing, threading, ear candling and hair masks. We also have several different healing baths, and an in-house Vichy shower.

An essential part of Atmosphere’s approach to well being centers around water. Present in the Sanctuary Spa grounds is a heated pool for Watsu treatments (water shiatsu). Surrender to the water as this unique treatment combines elements of massage, yoga, shiatsu, muscle stretching and dance. A deeply relaxing experience where our Watsu provider will support and float you over the water’s surface, gliding through rhythmical flowing movements and freeing the body and mind of stress and tension. This is truly an unforgettable experience.

The Sanctuary Spa is child and adolescent friendly. We think it is a great idea for children and young adults to look after themselves and working on the art of therapeutic relaxation. Due to popular demand, we have a Spa menu specifically designed for children aged 8-12. From Funky Fingers and Twinkle Toes (manicures and pedicures) to mini massages and fruity facials, there is a shorter, softer version of most of the popular spa treatments on offer. (please note children have to be accompanied by an adult at all times).
