From exfoliation to healing therapies to wellness spa retreats, we've got it all with our onsite steam room, a plunge pool and pampering signature treatments.

Here are some useful tips to help you unwind and enjoy all the treatments like a pro:

How do I make a spa reservation?

First and foremost, you must decide when you want your treatments. While walk-in appointments are welcome, we encourage you to make your reservations in advance to ensure all the healing goes smoothly and avoid disappointments. Reservations can be made at any time, even prior to your arrival, by simply getting in touch with our team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If you are already on Kandima, you may drop by the esKape spa, or dial extension 4302 from your villa and book away. 

What time should I arrive for my treatment?

To get the full revitalisation experience, we request your arrival at least fifteen minutes prior to your treatment time. This provides you with ample time to check in, settle and prepare for a relaxing spa experience.

What happens if I need to cancel my appointment?

Once you have a reservation, our eKape Spa Krew schedules it and will hold the time just for you. So, in case you cannot make it to the treatment, as a courtesy and to avoid charges in full, we require a 24-hour notice to change or cancel your reservation. If your cancellation request is submitted within less than 24 hours, a 50% charge will apply to your booking, and if you request cancellation within less than 3 hours, a 100% charge will apply to your booking.

What happens if I am late for my appointment?

Each and every treatment crafted for your healing has a specific time allotted for it. If your arrival is delayed, it takes away from the treatment time, leading to the allotted time being reduced so as to not disrupt the spa schedules and time of other guests. In addition to this, late arrival still results in a full charge for your requested service. To get the full nourishing experience with a relaxed body, mind, and soul, it is essential that you arrive at least fifteen minutes prior to your treatment time.

What medical or physical concerns do I need to tell the therapist?

To make the process easier and more convenient, our Spa Krew will provide a consultation form for all first-timers before the treatment. Once you have the form filled out, we will ensure an experience with the best possible treatments, where your safety and comfort are the highest priority.

How should I prepare for my spa treatment?

As you step into the haven of our esKape Spa, we invite you to enjoy the steam room. You can let the warm vapour do its work before or after spa treatments. We advise all to shower off any oils and lotions prior to your treatment to allow better absorption of the products applied.

We also request that you do not bring jewellery or valuables to your spa experience as well. Though we have safety boxes available in all our changing rooms in the spa, we strongly recommend you store your jewellery and valuable items in the safety box available in your room.

What do I need to wear?

There is no need to stress about what you need to wear as we provide all, including disposable garments for all body treatments.

Should men shave before their spa treatment?

If you are planning a facial treatment, we recommend shaving prior to the treatment, to ensure maximum comfort and benefits to the skin.

Which treatments are recommended for pregnant women?

To get the best curated experience for you, our spa therapists will guide you and help select the perfect treatment. However, treatments are not allowed for pregnant women in their first trimester and not recommended 24 hours before and after travelling.

What is the minimum age requirement?

Guests must be 11 years and over to enjoy a treatment at the esKape Spa without supervision. For younger ones, between the ages of 4 and 10 years, a parent or guardian needs to accompany them to their treatments at the Kids' Spa.
