34 PAMPER Hands on Therapy With art a constant theme throughout the Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris, the hotel’s beautiful spa, My Blend by Clarins, celebrates a different kind of art with a specially-created total face and body treatment: L’Art du Toucher (The Art of Touch), a brand new Clarins Signature Treatment, exclusive to the hotel.

L’Art du Toucher has three steps, dedicated to three energetic touch techniques, to relax, revitalise, and regenerate, from head to toe: step one is the Balancing Touch, which creates a sense of trust with hands reassuringly placed on key areas of the face and body. This is followed by the Stimulating Touch, which is designed to encourage energy flow through the body and is inspired by the rhythmical movements of shen shiatsu. Finally, the Enveloping Touch uses an exclusive selection of Clarins products as the face is drained, hydrated, and sculpted. The spa’s Beauty Coach uses thumbs, palms, forearms, and elbows on the body to recuperate and release deep energies and relieve tension. The 90-minute treatment starts from US$254. www.leroyalmonceau.com

Veli Spa at Kurumba has become the first spa of any resort island in the Maldives to use Dhivehi Beys treatments derived from traditional Maldivian medicine made from local herbs and ingredients. Healing remedies and secrets from Indian, Persian, Malaysian, Sri Lankan, and Chinese traders passing through the archipelago were developed using local herbal remedies, which were passed from one generation to the next to form the traditional medicines that Maldivian islanders rely on to this day. The new signature massage, Akarakara Theyo Dhemun, uses local herbs combined with coconut oil to alleviate arthritis, inflammation of joints, and muscle pain, while improving blood circulation. Alternatively, the Lansimoo Theyo Dhemun treatment is a back, neck, and shoulder massage that uses a hot poultice filled with a blend of Maldivian herbs to release nerve tightness and reduce migraines and muscle spasms. The blends are made on the resort with many of the herbs and ingredients grown on Kurumba. www.kurumba.com
