At The Nautilus, time is not measured in hours but in moments of pure being. Here, where clocks are banished and the world slows to a poetic pause, life unfolds with intention and ease. In this private bohemian haven adrift in the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll, the art of living well is a deeply personal journey. Nowhere is this more exquisitely expressed than at Solasta Spa — a sanctuary of stillness suspended above the sea, where healing is tailored to your rhythm, not a timetable.
In keeping with The Nautilus’s philosophy of absolute freedom, Solasta Spa now unveils the Tao’an Tea Aroma & Tea Bath Therapy — a serene ritual rooted in Eastern tradition and refined for the modern soul. Choose to experience this journey in the gentle seclusion of Solasta Spa’s overwater pavilions or within the cocooning atmosphere of your House or Residence. Each element of this signature therapy has been thoughtfully crafted to rebalance, restore, and realign your natural flow.
Tea & Aroma Welcome Ritual
Your journey begins in a softly lit space where the air is delicately perfumed with grounding agarwood incense. As you sip a calming tea, your senses begin to settle, ushering you into the present. Gentle breathwork anchors your awareness, gently guiding you into the experience that awaits.
Tea Bath Therapy
Next, you are invited into a warm bath infused with a curated blend of premium tea leaves and herbs. This infusion supports detoxification, nourishes the body’s meridians, and awakens the natural flow of energy. The warm embrace of the water is both a balm and a catalyst, encouraging deep purification and inner stillness.
Foot Massage or Crystal Sound Healing
To deepen your sense of renewal, choose between a deeply grounding foot massage or a vibrational sound healing session with crystal singing bowls. Without oils or cold air, this portion of the ritual enhances circulation and energetic balance through gentle, intuitive care.
Healing Tea Ritual
Your journey concludes as it began — with finest tea. This final ritual invites you to enjoy a Tao’an Healing Tea designed to continue the inner harmony awakened during the session. Guests are encouraged to drink at least 1000ml throughout the day to maximise the ritual’s benefits.
Deep Healing Through Simplicity
This 45-minute immersion taps into the profound simplicity of tea as medicine. The skin, our largest organ, becomes a conduit for the active compounds in the bath to gently nourish, detoxify, and restore. With each breath and sip, the Tao’an therapy helps release internal dampness, enhance circulation, and invite clarity into the mind and body.
At The Nautilus, we believe the greatest luxury is not what is added, but what is taken away: the pressure, the noise, the unnecessary. What remains is you, in your most centred, liberated form.
