Shanta Spa

Long distance travelling can be exhausting.   Your body clock can be overwhelmed by numerous time zones changes, delays at airports and disruptive sleep.   And the excitement about your holiday can be tempered by jet lag that can last a few days.

And that’s why One Horizon has introduced its Wellness Travel Package for our guests.   We want guests to be able to quickly recalibrate their body clock and get their energy and jest back so that they can really enjoy the whole African experience.

More importantly we have chosen, what we believe to be the best SPA centre in all of Kenya.  That’s the SHANTA SPA centre at the GEM Forest Hotel.  And for our guests that choose a minimum 4 day package or more with One Horizon, we are offering a Wellness Voucher to the value of $150 per adult (non-transferable).

The Shanta Spa exudes the serenity and calm ambience which has such an immediate effect on the soul.  And with a variety of treatment options from body massages to facials that are available, it’s a magical experience.   It’s a time to recover, to rejuvenate and it will help you sleep cycle and re-setting your body clock to Kenyan time.

Rejuvenation

Massage therapy can significantly help alleviate jet lag symptoms by improving blood circulation, releasing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation. It boosts the lymphatic system, aiding detoxification, and can help regulate sleep cycles by encouraging deep sleep. Incorporating techniques like Swedish massage, acupressure, and aromatherapy can reduce fatigue, anxiety, and physical discomfort, making it a proactive step in recovery and helping you adjust to a new time zone.

How Massage Helps with Jet Lag

  • Improved Circulation and Lymphatic Flow:

Long flights restrict blood flow and can cause swelling. Massage stimulates circulation, delivering more oxygen to muscles and promoting detoxification by encouraging lymphatic drainage.

  • Muscle Tension and Pain Relief:

Sitting in cramped airplane seats leads to stiffness and muscle knots. A massage can relax these muscles, relieving pain and improving overall physical comfort.

  • Enhanced Sleep Quality:

By increasing delta waves in the brain, massage can promote deep, restorative sleep, which is crucial for combating the fatigue and insomnia associated with jet lag.

  • Reduced Fatigue:

Massage therapy stimulates the release of endorphins and improves circulation, which can help reduce feelings of sluggishness and boost energy levels.

  • Stress and Anxiety Reduction:

The physical act of massage, combined with techniques like aromatherapy, can have a calming effect, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and mental disorientation that often accompany jet lag.

$150 Gift Voucher

  • For every booking of a minimum of 4 days (including accommodation), a Wellness Gift Voucher to the value of $150 per adult (non-transferable) is provided.
  • One Horizon can make your appointment for you or alternatively you can make the appointment on any day that you prefer (subject to availability)
