Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa takes you to another world
10/26/2009
Rare species of birds twitter among the trees. The croak of a frog, even rarer and threatened with extinction, can be heard in the distance. This is 135 million years of nature preserved. This is the Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa.
This is the Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa located in the heart of the World Heritage listed rainforest of the Daintree National Park.
The Daintree is the oldest living tropical rainforest on earth and it represents one of the most diverse and beautiful examples of Mother Nature, home to the highest number of plant and animal species that are rare, or threatened with extinction, anywhere in the world.
At this unique eco-lodge only 15 tranquil rainforest villas occupy secluded positions amongst the world's oldest living rainforest... reinforcing the impression of being 'at one with nature', yet still providing all the creature comforts of a boutique retreat.
In the world renowned Daintree Wellness Spa, you will be taken into another world as you succumb to the pleasures of unique Aboriginal inspired massages and spa therapies bringing you in tune with the vibrations of the earth.
The Daintree rainforest is home to the spiritual ancestors of the Kuku Yalanji tribe - rainforest Aboriginal people who named the rainforest 'Wawu-Karrba' - healing of the spirit. With the approval of the Kuku Yalanji elders, the spa treatments integrate the wisdom of ancient cultures, medicines, spirituality and healing, ensuring indigenous traditions are preserved for generations to come.
Daintree Wellness Spa is a unique body, mind and soul experience, harnessing potent natural forces to create a healing environment unlike any other. The unique qualities of our ochres and water originate from the property’s waterfall site. The waterfall is a traditional healing place for women, where you can experience a unique waterfall treatment, based on ancient knowledge to cleanse the spirit.
The integration of the wisdom of ancient cultures, medicines, spirituality and healing is offered in the spa and naturopathy modalities. The signature treatment is the Walbul-Walbul (Wal-bull Wal-bull), meaning butterfly.
Throughout this treatment you will connect with the vibration of the land. Experience the contrasting sensations, melt away with drizzling warm oil and the sprinkling of desert salt.
A soothing massage is followed by a tingling full body exfoliation and whilst cocooned in warm mud, you will surrender to a nourishing head treatment and the healing waters from the waterfall. This treatment is reminiscent of the brilliant transition of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.
A wide variety of facials, body treatments and massages are also available using the Daintree Essentials product range which is made from the world’s oldest rainforest. It is the only skincare range that uses wild, native and natural ingredients from the Daintree Rainforest and Daintree spring water - the purest water in Australia. The pure natural spring water which originates from the property's own pristine waterfall provides total water supply for guest usage and resort operations and is regularly tested by the authorities as the purest water in Australia.
The Daintree Essential’s product range has been created using superfine ochres found on the property and with an emphasis on native certified organic fruit, flower, nuts and seeds that work in perfect harmony with your body, mind and soul.
