The guest proposition
Naturopathy translates naturally into structured multi-day programmes — detox, weight management, stress and lifestyle correction — combining mud packs and baths, hydrotherapy, therapeutic fasting, yoga and diet. Its accessibility and low contraindication profile make it ideal for the broad luxury-wellness guest, while still being outcome-oriented.
The guest journey
Like Ayurveda, naturopathy is sold as a supervised programme rather than à-la-carte treatments — which supports longer stays.
- Naturopath consultation and health assessment
- Personalised programme — detox, weight, stress or lifestyle
- Daily mud, hydro and fasting / diet protocols with yoga
- Progress review and lifestyle-correction coaching
- At-home continuation and follow-up plan
Facility & build requirements
Mud and hydro therapy need real wet-area infrastructure — the engineering many spa fit-outs underestimate.
| Facility | Purpose | Design note |
|---|---|---|
| Mud-application & wrap rooms | Mud packs and full-body wraps | Correct drainage, surfaces, hygiene |
| Hydrotherapy suite | Hip, spinal, immersion, douche baths | Water treatment, temperature control |
| Therapeutic kitchen | Fasting and live-food diets | Sourcing, dietetics, juice provisioning |
| Yoga & treatment spaces | Movement and bodywork | Calm, ventilated, programme-integrated |
Indicative; sized to programme capacity.
