Portofino Bay Hotel – Mandara Spa
The Mandara Spa is a sanctuary where you can relax and discover the elixir of youth, not as a goal but as a moment of blissful reverie. Spa services include massage, skin care, beauty, body treatments, hydromassage, steam and sauna, lounges, refreshments, and hair and nail care. Portofino Bay guests can also request in-room massages, but there is an additional $60 charge, and only same-gendered masseuses will be dispatched.
