Soothe Life on Baros is poetic, soothing, and intriguing, calling for both gentle introspection and adventurous exploration. Down a maze of meandering paths, at the heart of the island, you’ll find Serenity Spa. Here, expert therapists will take you on a blissful journey of relaxation. The Serenity Healing experience begins with a 45-minute immersive water therapy session in the Baros lagoon, followed by a 90-minute tranquil massage incorporating natural ingredients sourced from the island’s very own botanical garden. If you choose, you can also take time to reflect with a bespoke candle meditation or Trataka session, enveloped by the soothing sounds of nature.
