• Two cocoa decadence facials and two scalp massages (a $228 value)

As you relax amid the serene sanctuary's warm walls and clean lines, and bliss out to the flicker of its rock candles, Laka's leisure purveyors will melt clogged muscle butter and restore vagrant visages. Incorporating centuries-old Ayurvedic spa techniques, Laka's pure bliss massage ($104 per person) promotes relaxation, circulation, and the elimination of toxins by blending a variety of massage modalities. Designed to adhere to your back's birthday wishes, the 65-minute session unearths buried tensions and taps into pressure points of gold doubloons.

Utilizing cocoa's antioxidant and strip-mining properties, Laka's 65-minute cocoa decadence facial ($104 per person) digs deep into your facial storyboard, smoothing out wrinkles, softening skin, and plunging deep into the dermis to reveal a glowing complexion. The cocoa blend prevents free radicals from damaging the skin's elastin and collagen by wrapping your face in a chocolately cloak of impenetrable deliciousness. After about an hour under the dexterous digits of either Laka’s massage therapists or facial specialists, complete your journey with Laka's 10-minute scalp massage ($10 per person), a soothing and invigorating deep tonic-water massage that will relax your brain blanket.
