Entim Sidai Sanctuary and Wellness Spa

The phrase entim sidai means beautiful forest in the Maasai language. Visitors can look forward to enjoying a pampering session surrounded by nature. Located in a pioneer farmhouse built in 1924, Entim Sidai Sanctuary and Wellness Spa is surrounded by 20 acres (8ha) of mature indigenous forest, vegetation and incredible bird life. Aside from an eclectic mix of treatments named after words and phrases from the Maasai culture, there’s a glass-walled nail studio in the middle of the forest.

Drawing inspiration from the Banyan Tree, Angsana Spa focuses on aromatherapy and uses natural ingredients such as native flowers and fruits in its treatments, which fuse techniques from east and west. The signature Angsana massage uses euphoria oil, extracts from ylang ylang, litsea cubeba and sweet basil to induce deep relaxation, relieve tension and aid blood circulation. The Javanese massage and facial also comes highly recommended for the weary traveller.
