A refuge of calm in the heart of Cusco

Munay means “to love” in Quechua, and this room was made for two. Two solid-wood massage tables face each other. At the back, behind a screen of dark wooden slats, a hot-water corner jacuzzi is waiting.

The screen filters the view without closing the space: you sense and hear the water, yet the massage stays private. The walls have a hand-applied, sand-toned artisanal finish that continues across the ceiling and wraps the room like a warm cave.

Light is always indirect: from the edge of the ceiling, from wooden sconces that draw arcs on the wall and from the lit base of the jacuzzi. It is the room for an anniversary, a honeymoon or the end of a trip together.

Samay means “to rest” and also “breath”. This lounge is where every experience begins and ends. Two reclining massage chairs, separated by ribbed-glass panels, let you relax in private without feeling shut away.

A glass-block window lets in soft, diffused daylight. Textured walls, a stone-toned relief artwork, golden sconces and a wooden cabinet with ceramic pieces complete the space.

Here you wait for your turn with a hot infusion, or stretch out the calm after a massage before heading back into Cusco's streets. It is also the place for a short chair session when your legs ask for a break.

Kawsay means “life” in Quechua. It is the spa's most intimate room, designed for one person. In the center, a wooden massage table with dark upholstery. Behind it, a pale stone wall lit from below, its texture recalling Cusco's stone walls.

To one side, a wooden niche with a lit mirror and a bench with towels lets you change without hurry. A fabric blind softens the window light, and a single plant adds the only touch of color.

It is the room for a muscle-relief massage after days with a backpack, for solo travelers, or for anyone who simply wants an hour without interruptions.
