People and Products

Head beautician Laima believes that the most important professional quality a good spa therapist must have is her love for her work; and after 10 years on the job, the deep sense of satisfaction she gets when clients tell her a treatment was amazing, or that they feel great, still makes her day. “You have to love the job; you can’t do it well if you don’t love it. It has to come from deep inside; you have to want to give love.” And it is this truly authentic and heartfelt care, energy and attention from the therapists, combined with the powerful active ingredients – such as caviar and stem cells in the 100% natural Pevonia skin care solutions – that really make the Amathus Spa facials and treatments effective, providing visible and lasting results.

The Magic Touch

Driven by an inherent will to give and a desire to make others feel better, Thai massage therapist Naphat inspires instant trust and unfaltering confidence in her ability to address the mind, body and spirit. Indeed, according to Naphat, trust is an integral part of this therapy; for it to be most effective, client and therapist must work together. “I talk to clients during the treatment, showing them how to move and breathe in order to unblock the energy flow and release any bottled up emotions. If you trust me and trust what I can give you, you will feel incredible benefits,” she says, adding that the unique feeling clients experience are instant proof of the profoundly relaxing and healing properties of this ancient form of massage.

Clearly passionate about her role on the spa team, head receptionist Lucia exudes an irresistibly positive energy and an instinctively caring nature, which she pours into every guest interaction. While all clients are extended the same genuinely warm welcome, Lucia’s knowledge and understanding of the Amathus approach to wellness guarantee that every spa experience is tailored to individual needs and requests. To help you choose the perfect treatment and get the most out of your visit, Lucia attends regular training to further refine the offering. “As a team, we are determined to continuously improve our service,” she explains. “In response to several requests, we recently introduced a new lymphatic massage; and we are always learning, so that we know about every single product and treatment down to the smallest details.”
