Amuma

CEBU, Philippines - Adhering to today’s mantra of total wellness and health rather than a quick fix, Amuma Spa at Bluewater

Maribago Resort recently reinvented itself with an extensive range of therapeutic spa packages  and treatments that are the perfect antidote to the hectic metropolis.

 Amuma aims to harmonize the body, mind and spirit through a blend of rehabilitation, massages, fitness activities and spa cuisine. Here’s a peek at some of the signature therapies and treatments one can enjoy for internal balance and external harmony.

Pikpik Kawayan sa siki

Bamboo poles are used to apply rhythmic pressure on the foot area. It is a great way to relax after forceful walking, running or exercise. Gentle taps on specific points provide relief and improve circulation in the body.

Makisig for Men

This treatment is exclusively designed for men. This includes bath, scrub and skin care treatments using native ingredients such as chocolate tableas, virgin coconut oil, cream and barako coffee beans.

Amuma Beauty Wrap

This begins with a body scrub, followed by energizing strokes that dissolve the toning effect. The intensive treatment from sea salts is allowed to develop its outcome on the skin and body. The body is then covered in a soft cocoon of warm, milky mask  that leaves a delicate, pleasant fragrance.

Pampalamig Wrap

This is a quick fix to over exposure to the sun. A cooling mixture of cucumber, mint and banana is gently applied, wrapping the entire body to soothe any sunburn skin discomfort. After an icepack patting, a moisturizing bath of coconut milk, lemongrass oil and flowers are applied to  rejuvenate and relax tired muscles.

Hilot Journey

Uniquely Filipino, the hilot   is an extensive cultural wellness experience. You will be bathed in  special oil and calamansi blend to exfoliate and stimulate your skin. The body is then wrapped in cool banana leaf after a thorough application of coconut cream, Amuma potion, calmansi and Cebu’s famous mangoes. Attention is also given to the scalp and hair. Warm virgin coconut oil is poured on the hairline to nourish and moisturize the crown. If you want to keep your hair oil-free, a scalp massage is given in place of a hot oil treatment.

Malakas at Maganda

The ultimate spa experience for couples. Native ingredients and oils are carefully put in therapeutic rituals that enhance relaxation and intimacy. It begins with gentle coco skin exfoliation coupled with a hair and scalp hot oil preparation. The bodies are then wrapped in honey.  Subsequently the couple is cleansed as they immerse in a bath of soothing coconut milk and ylang-ylang scent. A specially prepared meal will be served at the veranda after a rejuvenating oil massage.

Other special features are the different spa party packages such as  the Bridal Shower that can get the bride-to-be and her closest friends to hang-out, relax and ease the stress of wedding preparations and jitters. The spa Baby Shower and  Birthday Parties for teens and little princesses promises a memorable celebration  with  family and dear friends.

The fitness therapeutic programs include the following: Boxing  that tones and shapes muscles, helps people lose weight and is a very good cardio exercise. It relieves stress by providing an outlet for pent up aggression, develops focus and self-discipline. The Neck Exercise programs help increase the range of motion, posture, mobility and strength of the cervical spine while the Cerebrovascular Accident Rehabilitation  puts emphasis on functional training as a means to help the individual gain independence. Focus is given on the performance of mobility and function, improvement of muscle strength and coordination to perform personal tasks.

Amuma  Spa  is truly an experience that awakens your inner beauty and enraptures your senses. (FREEMAN)
