How to Create Your Own Natural Spa From the Comfort of Your Bungalow

Transform your stay at Bungalows Las Iguanas into a rejuvenating spa retreat by using natural, locally-inspired ingredients to pamper yourself. With simple items like aloe vera, sea salt, and essential oils, you can create luxurious treatments that relax your body and refresh your mind. Here’s how:

1. Aloe Vera Face Mask

Aloe vera, commonly found in the area, is a natural wonder for your skin.

• What You’ll Need: Fresh aloe vera gel and a teaspoon of honey.
• How to Use: Mix the ingredients and apply the mask to your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with cool water. This mask hydrates, soothes, and leaves your skin glowing.

2. Sea Salt Body Scrub

Locally sourced sea salt makes an excellent exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and improve circulation.

• What You’ll Need: 1 cup of sea salt, ½ cup of coconut oil, and a few drops of your favorite essential oil (e.g., lavender or eucalyptus).
• How to Use: Mix the ingredients into a paste and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Rinse off for smooth, refreshed skin.

3. Aromatherapy Steam Facial

Create a spa-like steam facial using essential oils to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin.

• What You’ll Need: A bowl of hot water, a towel, and a few drops of essential oil (like tea tree or chamomile).
• How to Use: Add the oil to the water, place your face over the bowl, and cover your head with the towel to trap the steam. Breathe deeply for 5–10 minutes to open your pores and relax your mind.

4. Coconut Oil Hair Treatment

Treat your hair to a natural deep-conditioning treatment with coconut oil.

• What You’ll Need: 2–3 tablespoons of coconut oil.
• How to Use: Warm the oil slightly, apply it to your hair from roots to tips, and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing. This treatment restores shine and moisture.

5. DIY Foot Soak

After a day of exploring, give your feet some love with a relaxing soak.

• What You’ll Need: Warm water, sea salt, and a few slices of lime or orange.
• How to Use: Fill a basin with warm water, dissolve the salt, and add the citrus slices. Soak your feet for 15–20 minutes to relieve tension and soften your skin.
