According to a recent survey by Booking.com, Brazilians are increasingly looking for trips related to well-being and gastronomic experiences. And on vacation, all the better if you can take a break and forget about routine.

“The spa services at Costão do Santinho are offered according to the needs of each client”, explains Ozélia. In the resort’s range of treatments, hydrotherapy consists of exercises conducted by a physiotherapist in a heated pool. “Water is one of the means of healing, a vehicle of heat or cold for the body. Hydrotherapies are excellent for detoxifying, relaxing and reducing stress,” she says.

The Costão rituals can vary from 50 to 120 minutes in length, depending on the treatment chosen. Massages also have different techniques and specific time periods, ranging from 20 to 90 minutes. “In turn, holistic therapies – such as reiki, shiatsu and reflexology – understand that each person forms a system and that the balance between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health is fundamental. They seek to treat the whole person in their context, focusing on both the disease and the symptoms”, emphasizes Ozélia.

Body and facial aesthetic treatments are also offered. The former provide better definition to body contours by reducing measurements, combating cellulite, flaccidity and localized fat. “Facial aesthetic treatments promote the well-being and recovery of the skin through processes indicated by a qualified professional.”
