A lush island oasis set amidst tranquil surroundings in the middle of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river, RAKxa is a coveted destination for those looking to heal body, mind, and soul. Now, the popular retreat is launching a new series of wellness programs that draw on Eastern traditions.
The Authentic Eastern programs at RAKxa are designed to restore and rebalance guests’ health, ensuring optimum physical and mental wellbeing. While there are three programs on offer – Sense of RAKxa; Rest & Reset; Cleanse & Purify – each focuses on reaching different health goals and offers a comprehensive blend of Eastern wellness rituals, therapeutic massages, and focused physiotherapy to cleanse the body of toxins and reset the immune system for optimal performance.
Whichever Authentic Eastern program they choose, guests at RAKxa will enjoy three wellness cuisine or detox meals a day and a tea break; a health and wellness consultation; and complimentary use of the property’s extensive hydrotherapy facilities. All journeys begin with a doctor consultation, health and wellness consultation, and a RAKxa Functional Fitness Assessment to help guests identify their health issues and goals and create a tailored plan for their stay.
SENSE OF RAKXA
An all-encompassing retreat designed to overhaul your wellbeing, Sense of RAKxa is a three-night program that offers guests a taste of all the best remedies the property has to offer. The retreat is completely personalized to address individual health concerns and uses both ancient wisdom and modern science to achieve improved wellbeing. Best of all, it’s a great way for wellbeing newbies to dip their toes in the wellness waters.
The Sense of RAKxa journey includes several spa treatments, including a RAKxa Relaxing Massage, RAKxa Stress Release Massage, and Marma Healing Massage; Mindful Meditations; a private Tai Chi session; a Zen Na Tai ritual; along with a choice of medical treatments.
REST & RESET
Ideal for those looking for a little solitude and peace, the Rest & Reset journey helps release chronic stress with alternative remedies and scientific treatments while allowing guests to regain their focus and mindfulness. Guests can choose to enjoy the program as a five- or seven-night retreat, depending on exactly what they want to achieve and how much time they can spend.
Alongside the initial consultations and assessments, guests will learn to relax with several different massages over the several days, and benefit from the practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine with an Acupuncture & Moxibustion session. Other Authentic Eastern wellness rituals on offer include a Tibetan Singing Bowl experience for stress relief and deep sleep, a Thai Pure Nutrient Hair & Scalp massage; a Mano Maya Ayurvedic massage with Shirodhara and singing bowls; Chakra Balancing; and a Traditional Thai Prakob and Massage.
