The blissful island of Anguilla, dotted with coral reefs and cays, is a place where the soul feels instantly soothed. The Arawaks who inhabited this land celebrated the renewal and rejuvenation of each new day by honoring Atabey, the mother goddess of fertility and freshwater. They would burn incense and offerings of sage, lemongrass and sacred herbs to awaken the mind and spirit. At Belmond Cap Juluca’s Arawak Spa, our rituals are designed to bring you into harmony with nature and refocus your energy. We celebrate traditional Taino culture with ancient therapies, rare indigenous botanicals and a holistic approach to healing.
Anguilla is also known for its abundance of precious salts. In these trying times, a detoxifying soak can ease the tension of daily stress. Try out this DIY spa bath soak recipe crafted by our spa director Kimberly Acker, which is easy to try out in the comfort of your own home.
