The Cayo Levantado Resort, in the Samana province of the Dominican Republic, has debuted wellness and holistic treatments for spring and summer that center around sleep, romance and mental health.
Sleep-focused offerings include the Relax & Sleep Treatment, which combines essential oils with guided breathing techniques and focuses on key tension areas in the back, head, arms, legs and feet. The Ultimate Aromatherapy Experience uses a blend of essential oils massaged into strategic points to stimulate the nervous system, relieve muscle tension, improve lymphatic drainage and reduce stress.
Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practice designed to induce a state of deep relaxation that is similar to sleep. It is said that yoga nidra can improve sleep quality by reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep onset, enhancing sleep quality, and reducing sleepwalking.
Treatments for couples introduced
Romance-and couples-focused treatments include a Cacao Ceremony, chakra meditation and personalized nutrition counseling for couples with a certified nutritionist.
Holistic and spiritual offerings for mental health include sound healing sessions, a Mother Mai ceremony that focuses on gratitude and meditation courses.
Promotional opening all-inclusive rates start at $665 per night, based on double occupancy; spa treatments are additional. The resort’s holistic center features an open-air meditation space, five cenotes and three Jacuzzis.
