Spas with Refreshing Coffee Treatments

Turkish coffee, each time feels like a pleasant ceremony with its distinctive aroma and accompaniments as delightful as Turkish delight, is an integral part of Turkish culture for centuries.

And every year, December 5 is dedicated to celebrating this traditional flavor, included in the UNESCO Cultural Heritage List, all over the world. With respect to this day, we’re taking a look at several Spas that incorporate coffee into our self-care, adding ‘refreshment’ to our skin much as our converse.

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel, Costa Rica

Surrounded by a magnificent 30-acre coffee plantation in San Jose, Marriott puts this unique plantation at the center of its exclusive Kuö Spa treatments. In fact, the word “Kuö” itself refers to both human skin and the unique harvesting process of coffee beans. Likewise, the guests’ favorite ‘Costa Rican Coffee Scrub’ uses coffee beans freshly picked and carefully processed directly from this garden-like plantation. With this treatment, our skin can regain the much-needed vitality in one of the most natural ways.

Fairmont Quasar Istanbul, Türkiye

Rising from the slopes of the Bosphorus and taking the metropolitan face of Istanbul on its horizon, Fairmont Quasar is home to the world-famous Willow Stream Spa. Among the signature treatments of Willow Stream Spa stands out the “Sensory Oasis with Turkish Coffee and Coconut” massage crowning its innovative treatment approach with the healing touches of Turkish culture. The exfoliation centers on the fine-grained and phenol-rich antioxidant structure of Turkish coffee, aiming to both gently exfoliate our skin and stimulate the cell-renewing micro-circulation process. Our sensory rejuvenation continues with a full body massage that blends herbal poultice enriched with cinnamon and cardamom with coconut oil...

Four Seasons Resort, Costa Rica

Overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean, Four Seasons is nestled in the Peninsula Papagayo of Costa Rica, the paradise to both coffee and cocoa. And in its Spa, invites us to a unique journey of revitalization, renewal and balance with the ‘Nourishing Costa Rican Coffee Scrub’. Infused with coffee beans fetched from the Costa Rican mountains to our self-care, the treatment additionally uses whole vanilla seeds and vanilla extract to promote our blood circulation and heal our skin tissue. Our experience concludes with a cinnamon-enriched body moisturizer to soften and sensorially energize our skin.

Jumeirah Saadiyat Island Resort, UAE

Bringing together the Arabic extravagance with the natural beauties of the island, Saadiyat Island Resort brings together innovative treatments in its Spa with deep-rooted, local-sourced practices. One of the acclaimed signature treatments is the ‘Emirates Hammam’ ritual, enjoyed within the Moroccan bath, the magnificent core of the Spa. In this experience, first the steam helps our muscles relax and our minds clear. During the relaxing massage, our skin is cleansed with aromatic Arabic coffee and nourished with the uniquely regional zaatar spice, camel milk rich in minerals and Ras Al Khaimah dates.

Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, Indonesia

Nusa Dua is a tropical paradise on the southern peninsula of Bali, tucked between the Indian Ocean and exotic banyan trees. Among the signature treatments offered in the Balinese-infused Spa is the invigorating ‘Coffee & Lime’ body treatment. The exfoliation with antioxidant-rich coffee detoxifies our body by promoting blood circulation, while fresh lime, loaded with vitamin C, provides an aromatic and exhilarant refreshment to our skin. After immersing in the nourishing honey milk bath, our skin becomes smoother and brighter.

In short, coffee is a very favorable self-care element for the renewal of our skin, thanks to its high antioxidant power and active nature. We hope you involve it in your Spa journeys...
