THE AFRI-CURE

In the 17th century. the jumbie tree (Ceiba pentandra) and tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica) were introduced in the Caribbean from Africa. Since then, they’ve been prized for their multiple benefits by BVlslanders.

Indulge in a carefully tailored spa experience inspired by a fusion of time-honoured Caribbean healing; a traditional body wrap made of jumbie tree leaves to relieve fatigue, tamarind tree leaves to relieve pain, and lemongrass to reduce inflammation, accompanied by a papaya mousse applied to the face to clean and moisturise your skin.

The wrap and facial are followed by a warm body exfoliation using turmeric, honey, activated charcoal and harvested Salt Island sea salt.

The healing hands of two therapists then transport you to a deep state of relaxation with the wavelike movements of four hands massaging nourishing BVI organic coconut oil into the skin for a moisturised glow. This experience offers calming and renewal for body and spirit.

There are many wonderful and totally relaxing treatments available to choose from at the Sense Spa at Rosewood Little Dix Bay.
