The Taro Leaf Spa was opened in February 2009 and takes the best of everything that is Yapese to bring you an experience that will relax, energize, invigorate, revitalize and harmonize you. The decor of the spa is based on island themes and all of our products use locally sourced plants.

Our spa has a welcoming reception and waiting area, which is filled with exotic fragrances. You will be given your own Taro Leaf robe and shorts to change into in our comfortable change area. Each guest will have their own private locker to keep valuables secure.

Our spa has two treatment rooms. Frangipani is named after a beautiful fragrant flower that grows in abundance around the island. This room has two massage beds, so it is ideal for two friends to have treatments at the same time. The wooden paneling and abundance of flowers make this room feel at one with nature. Kokoris, named after the white ginger flower that grows on the island, is our second treatment room, which has a massage bed and our stone bath, Almeria. This bath is hewn from one piece of solid rock and polished to a smooth finish. This room opens out into our private garden with a relaxing waterfall to make the whole setting feel very tranquil indeed.
