One&Only Resorts and ESPA have partnered to create Nature’s Resonance by ESPA to re-connect guests’ minds and bodies to the environment around them through binaural beats, soundscapes, nature and massage patterns. “By harnessing the essence of each One&Only location, together we can deliver an unforgettable moment in some of the world’s most exceptional locations of natural beauty,” says Daniel Golby, general manager at ESPA.
