HEALTH & BEAUTY

The wide range of spas in Langkawi provide the ideal setting for complete rejuvenation and relaxation. Langkawi, which is located at the crossroads of Southeast Asia, provides an ideal backdrop for health rituals that are amongst the oldest in the world. The Malay, Thai, Balinese, Javanese, Indian and Japanese health practices make the island an ideal setting for complete rejuvenation.



Experience a traditional Malay body massage, herbal soaks, facials and a host of other treatments, all based on ancient rituals and health disciplines. Malay herbal treatments use a combination of indigenous herbs and plants, which contain natural vitamins, minerals with therapeutic properties.



Indulge in luxuries such as traditional creme hair treatments, which employ the use of coconut milk, aloe vera and crushed hibiscus leaves, among others. Be enlightened by the jamu experience where medicinal plants and local herbs such as turmeric are mixed with natural sweeteners, like honey or palm sugar and consumed for its detoxifying and health enhancing properties. These jamu preparations, both in tonic and pellet forms have long been consumed by Malay women in Langkawi as the ingredients are freshly-prepared and contain no chemical additives.



Enjoy stress-relieving body massages using oil made with local herbs or try out an invigorating body scrub. Bathe in invigorating herbal floral water while enjoying a soothing cup of ginger tea. Give your hair a special treat of freshly-prepared herbal and fruit shampoo and conditioner. Get a manicure or pedicure.

If all you need is a foot massage, there are foot reflexology outlets in Langkawi, including at the Langkawi Fair Shopping Centre, Langkawi Parade, Pantai Chenang, Pantai Tengah and even at the top of Gunung Mat Chinchang! These places offer the perfect respite after a day of exploring . Foot reflexology is believed to have many healthy and therapeutic benefits such as relieving stress and stiff neck, whilst improving blood circulation and hormonal imbalance.
