    Relax in the Spa and Let Your Worries Melt Away

    At Nikoi Island, you can enjoy a dedicated spa experience set in three spacious safari tents located near the pool. The spa uses natural products, including virgin coconut oil, to ensure a gentle, eco-friendly treatment for your skin and body.

    One of the signature treatments is the Island Massage. Created specifically for Nikoi, this massage is intended to help you transition smoothly into island life.

    It focuses on gentle, long strokes and works on key pressure points, allowing you to unwind and regain energy after your travels. If you are looking for a massage that offers deep muscle relief, you might prefer the Javanese Massage.

    Adapted from traditional Balinese techniques, this treatment uses stronger pressure on your back, shoulders and head, relieving tension effectively.

    For mothers-to-be or those who prefer to lie on their side, the Rhythmic Massage offers a nurturing alternative.

    The therapist employs gentle palm strokes that help to calm your body and mind, making it a great option for relaxation during pregnancy or when you simply need to de-stress.

    Additionally, the Indian Head Massage is available if you’re looking to clear your mind. This treatment focuses on alleviating mental fatigue and you can select a botanical infusion to either balance or stimulate your scalp and hair.

    At Nikoi Island, the spa experience is designed to be straightforward and effective. You are encouraged to try different treatments to find the one that best meets your needs and the professional staff is on hand to help you choose the perfect option for a relaxed and balanced state of mind.

    Enjoy the simple, natural approach to wellness as you embrace your island escape.

    Swim in the Ocean-View Pool at Nikoi Island

    If you’re at Nikoi Island, swimming is one activity you shouldn’t miss. At Nikoi, you experience a swimming setting uniquely integrated into the natural landscape.

    You approach a pool built among granite boulders on the island’s northeastern side – a destination in its own right. Elevated above the sea, the pool offers clear, uninterrupted views of one of the island’s most inviting beaches and the expansive South China Sea.

    As you enter the water, you feel its cool embrace against your skin, perfectly balancing the warmth of the tropical air. The gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of the ocean, mingling with the subtle, earthy aroma of the surrounding rocks and greenery.

    In addition to the main pool, there is a dedicated paddling pool for infants, ensuring that guests of all ages can safely enjoy the water. Nearby, a bar provides a selection of drinks, and ample deck chairs allow you to relax in either the sun or the shade.

    The entire area is designed to merge with the natural environment, offering both a place to unwind and a chance to appreciate the island’s beauty.

    As dusk falls, the pool area transforms with soft lighting that accentuates the granite boulders and creates a serene atmosphere. A late-night swim here feels exclusive – a quiet retreat where you can immerse yourself in the calming sounds of water and nature.

    Every detail, from the fresh breeze to the gentle lapping of the waves in the distance, enhances the sense of escape and relaxation, making your swim at Nikoi Island a uniquely refreshing experience.
