SPA AND WELLNESS
For a resort that provides guests and residents with a truly integrative approach to optimal wellness, it is no surprise that Six Senses Spa Kaplankaya spans 107,640 square feet (10,000 square meters). It is spread over two floors, with traditional artifacts and healing visual art pieces enhancing the experience and offering gentle moments to pause and reflect. Spa visitors are welcomed into an open-plan spa arrival lounge, which is located on the second floor. The space feels like a gallery, with different areas to move through and view the curated collections of Six Senses yoga and lounge wear, skincare products, accessories and gifts from local artisans. There is also a cozy seating area for relaxation and a healthy drinks corner. This flows through to the Meditation Cave, Hair and Nail Salon and Barber Shop. The impressive Alchemy Bar provides a great setting for wellness workshops, during which guests learn in-depth alchemy, as well as cooking classes using local produce and ingredients. Low lights punctuate the high-ceilinged corridor, guiding visitors towards the expansive female and male changing areas and hydrothermal facilities. Using the physical properties of water in several different forms, these facilities provide an alternative yet therapeutic way to ease muscle aches and boost overall well-being. As the muscles relax, the mind becomes calmer, creating optimum conditions for achieving the best results during a treatment or wellness activity. There are also traditional Turkish hammams, 38 treatment rooms, numerous relaxation spaces, an indoor swimming pool and a Watsu pool. Located on the same floor, a fitness center featuring Technogym cardio and resistance machines inspires every workout thanks to the breathtaking ocean backdrop. An in-house exercise physiologist and personal trainers are available to help anyone who has a particular area of concern. In addition, there is a weights and movement room, private Kinesis studio, pilates studio, yoga studio, cycling studio and a wallyball/racquetball court. Guests can work out in group or private classes to achieve their fitness
goals.

There is an outdoor platform dedicated to yoga and meditation practice overlooking the Aegean Sea. Group and private classes are on offer and help balance energy centers, and bring harmony and peace. Moving up to the third floor, Health & Healing is home to health, wellness and fitness assessments. These include a non-invasive wellness screening which analyzes key physiological biomarkers, BOD POD (body composition), cardio metabolic testing or a more focused consultation with a medical doctor. The aim is for guests to gain an insight into their health, enjoy personalized advice and subsequently follow bespoke programs designed specifically to their needs.

This groundbreaking sleep standard adds a new dimension to any vacation and includes handmade mattresses by Naturalmat complemented by Hanse organic pillows and duvets, high quality Beaumont & Brown organic cotton sheets, and Madison Collection toweling and bathrobes.

If guests want to learn more, they can upgrade their experience, starting with an online questionnaire that helps Six Senses wellness experts understand their sleep patterns. Based on this information, the assigned Sleep Ambassador will fine-tune the room prior to arrival to ensure all preferences are noted and prepares the guest accommodations each evening to ensure optimum sleep conditions. It also includes a Sleep Bag with sleep aids and bathroom amenities, moisture wicking linens and options such as a sound machine, specialty pillows and humidifier. Guests are also equipped with a sleep tracker, the results of which are interpreted during a 30-minute consultation with a wellness expert, who recommends a personalized program of lifestyle changes and treatments.

Eat With Six Senses
Anyone taking advantage of one of our wellness programs will be fully supported by the culinary team and enjoying delicious meal plans that are specially adapted to their needs. For example, the Trim & Fit program reduces fat mass through a balance of quality protein, resistant starches and healthy ketogenic fats, while limiting carbohydrates (glucose). Sleep & De-Stress incorporates foods that reduce anxiety and aid sleep while avoiding any sleep inhibiters. Wellness experts provide nutritional advice to take home so guests will know what to favor and avoid, and keep up the good work.

This is an active journey, which starts with a wellness screening, and a skin and sleep analysis so that experts can personalize the program to suit specific needs. Self-guided activities embrace mindfulness and include mental cleanse, journaling and affirmation practices, encouraging guests to look at themselves without judgment and celebrate what they see. The accompanying nutritional plan is based on an anti-inflammatory approach, using fresh, mineral rich foods that are abundant in anti-oxidants to fight free radical damage to skin, hair and nails.

and a happy mind, just as much as proper skincare.
