Maru Spa

Experience the Only Treetop Spa in French Polynesia
Located on a small motu in the middle of the most beautiful lagoon in the world, Maru Spa is the most authentic Polynesian Spa in the Pacific Ocean.  It Overlooks the lagoon and faces Mount Pahia.  High up in the branches of two giant Banyan trees, the wooden cabins are almost hidden making it the ultimate place to experience treatments, listening to the soft breeze of the wind in the leaves.

Maru Spa's Polynesian influence echoes in the signature treatments available.  Locals have kept the knowledge of using plants, flowers and specific fruits such as the Moni for medicinal or cosmetic purposes.  The Monoi oil itself is the basis of Maru Spa's signature treatments.  "Monoi" comes from the Maohi for sacred oil and results in the maceration of coconut, plants and fresh Tiare flowers.

Fruits, sugar and sand together with precious stones, Maru Spa's product line was designed by Rachelle Maoulai, Spa Director, and developed locally, with the greatest respect for Nature, its fauna and flora and, of course, for guests and therapists.

Maru Spa's highly trained therapists come from various backgrounds (dietician, beautician, and thalasso specialists from Biarritz and, of course, local massage therapists).  The team works rather intuitively, placing the emphasis on healing and caring rather than on technics.  The guests and their needs are their primary concerns - personalized treatments can be developed after a private consultation with Rachelle Moulai.
