Treatments

We offer a wide range of treatments to help you relax and rejuvenate. Treatments use indigenous shamanic rituals and ingredients from Ecuador’s Amazon Jungle, such as the rainmaker stick and essence from the endemic palo santo tree.

From massages, reflexology, facials, scrubs and body wraps, SUMAQ Spa is the place to heal your body, relax your mind and revitalize your spirit.

Shamanic

Using rainmaker stick and palo santo oil, this massage will incorporate local techniques and wisdom handed down by shamen. (90 minutes)

Aromatic

Using aromatherapy oils, this is a full body massage designed to uplift, calm or balance the mind and body. (90 minutes)

Warm Candle Massage

This is done with a body massage oil candle, whose slow melting provides an enjoyable massage with warm aromatic oil and a pleasant texture. (90 minutes)

Passion Fruit Exfoliation

Your skin will radiate after being massaged and rubbed with an exfoliating paste made from this tropical fruit. (30 minutes)

Volcanic Mud

The mixture used is rich in minerals and volcanic ash from Galápagos. It absorbs excess liquid held between skin cells by applying pressure, leaving a smooth appearance. (30 minutes)

Moisturizer Facials

Replenish hydration at a cellular level for skin that's lost its natural protection, or revive tone and vitality in skin left tired and dull, with a firming, lifting finish. Each treatment is tailored to what your skin needs most.

A visit to the Galápagos Islands is an adventure full of hiking, swimming, snorkeling and wildlife watching — and just as important as the exploring itself is the chance to unwind afterward and let your body recover.
