Experience the only Treetop Spa in French Polynesia

Located on a small motu in the middle of the most beautiful lagoon in the world, Mar Spa is the most authentic Polynesian Spa in the Pacific Ocean. The Spas main building, with hardwood floors, bamboo and stone dcor, overlooks the lagoon, facing Mount Pahia. Situated alongside, as well as higher up in the midst two giant Banyan trees, the wooden cabins containing treatment rooms are almost hiddenThis is the ultimate to experience wonderful treatments, while listening to the soft breeze of the wind passing through the leaves Mar Spas Polynesian influence echoes throughout the signature spa products we have created especially for clients of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Spa. Locals have retained the knowledge of using plants, flowers and specific fruits, such as the Noni, for both medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The Tahitian recipes, like the Mono oil, are known and used all around the world for their benefits to hair and skin. The Mono oil itself is the basis of the Mar Spas signature treatments. Mono comes from the Maohi word for sacred oil and results from the maceration of coconut, plants and fresh Tiare flowers. Mar Spa offers various oils on its new menu, such as Mono tiare, Mono coconut, Mono pineapple Scrubs containing fruit, sugar, sand and precious stones were developed for the exclusive use of the Mar Spa. Each product was developed locally, with the deepest respect for nature, the flora and fauna, and especially the guests and therapists. Signature treatments use only local products and guarantee the highest quality of natural ingredient, typically plants and flowers marinated in pure cold pressed coconut oil. Example of a signature spa item-Bora Bora Honeymoon Bliss: Pineapple and brown sugar body scrub Traditional Polynesian massage with Mono oil Coconut milk and flower bath Spa Refreshment Mar Spas highly trained therapists come from various backgrounds, such as: dietitian, beautician, and of course local massage therapists. The team works rather intuitively, placing the emphasis on healing and caring rather than on the techniques. The guests and their needs are the primary concern. Personalized treatments can be developed after a private consultation with our Spa Director.
