Reiki healing treatments are now being offered at the Spa at La Manga Club. Reiki is a popular and widely used healing technique, and it has been approved by the World Health Organization as a complementary therapy. Guests can experience the power of Reiki themselves on their next visit to the resort.

Reiki is a form of complementary and alternative medicine, where specially trained practitioners transfer healing energy through their palms to the patient. Mikao Usui developed the technique after a 21 day Buddhist training course held on Mount Kurama in 1922, where he spent his days meditating, fasting, chanting and praying. He claimed to have a mystical revelation where he gained the knowledge and spiritual power to channel healing energy through his body and use it to treat others.

By channelling the positive healing energy, Reiki practitioners are said to activate their patients’ body’s own healing mechanisms. This is achieved by aligning and harmonizing the “chakras”, which are thought to be essential energy centres within the body. By bringing the chakras together in harmony, Reiki helps to rebalance the body’s physical, mental and emotional health.

Immediate effects of Reiki include a feeling of relaxation and tranquillity, an increase in energy, and an enhanced sense of wellbeing. Please note that Reiki sessions and other treatments at the Spa at La Manga Club should be booked in advance.

The Spa at La Manga Club is an ideal place to try Reiki for the first time, as it is one of the most beautiful, stylish and well equipped spas in the region. These modern facilities create a beautiful and peaceful environment, where every detail is carefully constructed to add to the pleasure of the experience. As well as the many treatment rooms, guests have access to the steam room, sauna and swimming pool. Located within the Las Lomas village, near the luxury La Manga Club villas, the Spa La Manga Club was born out of a long tradition of spa ritual in the Spanish Region of Murcia.

Spas originated in this area in Roman times, when locals discovered the healing properties of the thermal waters that they found north of the city of Murcia and the outdoor mud baths of the Mar Menor.

In addition to Reiki, the Spa will also offer many other signature treatments and rituals that promise to lift the spirits and calm the minds of their visitors. The Hawaiian Lomi Juma treatment is a traditional Hawaiian massage that energises and uplifts, and the Indian Floral treatment is a relaxing Indian-style massage with warm sacs of jasmine, citrus blossom and rose petals.

The Therapeutic Mar Menor mud treatment is a very indulgent natural spa treatment, featuring mud from the Mar Menor which is Spain’s answer to the Dead Sea. This mineral rich mud is renowned for its healing and beautifying properties. The treatment includes a full body warm mud wrap and an invigorating facial massage. This luxurious treatment is said to reduce pain from aching joints and muscles, smooth and soften skin, and give an overall feeling of relaxation.

Many visitors love to escape to this award-winning resort for a relaxing getaway in order to spend some much needed time treating themselves to therapeutic treatments and beauty procedures, and now with the new Reiki treatment guests will have even more choice of ways to relax.

The Retreat is offering a 10% discount on all stays in any of the bungalows at the Retreat during the months of March and April.

Owner Daria Dubinin said: “Considering that the Retreat is essentially a unique holiday concept here on the Costa del Sol and that 2010 was our first full year of opening, we were absolutely delighted by the response and enthusiasm of those who visited us.”

The Retreat comprises of 5 eco-friendly self-catering bungalows, all of which have their own private territory. A number of the bungalows also come with their own plunge pool. There is also a luxury villa available, which has 5 double bedrooms and is suitable for larger groups of up to 10 people.

Each of the bungalows has full use of the facilities at the retreat including the infinity pool and tennis court. There are also spa treatments on offer including facials, massages and wraps.

“In February we completed the plunge pool for Casa Pino and also the new outdoor dining area which provides guests with the opportunity to eat fine cuisine outdoors pretty much all year round” said Daria.

Positioned high in the hills close to the pueblo blanco of Casares, which is only approximately a 20 minute drive away from the very popular towns of Marbella and Puerto Banus. The Retreat not only has around 4 hectares of lush sub-tropical land, but also has wonderful views to Gibraltar and the Costa del Sol coastline.

The Retreat is totally private and secluded and is most appealing to those looking for a romantic and private hideaway or for those looking for a secluded honeymoon retreat. Due to its location in the Costa del Sol, it is also ideal for a weekend getaway, easily in reach of most European countries.

DDG Retreat is a unique concept for the Costa del Sol and Europe and is perfect for a honeymoon, romantic or weekend break in Spain.

This type of award isn’t handed out lightly, and the five-star Asia Gardens, set two kilometres from the beach in the north of Benidorm, boasts plenty of reasons why it was chosen among so many candidates for the honour: there’s the lush tropical gardens, the Asian-style rooms with stunning views over the Costa Blanca – Spain’s ‘white coast’ – and the Sierra Cortina mountains, the sumptuous facilities with their state-of-the-art green technology. The list of luxury goes on and on, and includes four different restaurants where original flavours of Asia blend in a delicious harmony with traditional Mediterranean and international cuisine.

The hotel is a benchmark for quality, a space of calm and tranquillity inspired by Asian style with distinct Balinese influence in the lakes and waterfalls, abundant flowers and verdant gardens – and all set within an extensive pine wood.


The spacious modern rooms include all the latest technology and are divided into eight categories according to size, views and location. They include family suites which are ideal to spend a few days if you have small children. 



The facilities include seven pools – vast lagoons of blue reflecting the exotic greenery – two of which are heated and open year round. There’s also a kids’ club, jogging tracks, cycling, diving and all sorts of other services and activities. But it’s the spa itself of which the hotel is most proud, and the different massage and beauty treatments on offer, particularly the Thai massage, which is one of its major attractions. And of course, this corner of holistic indulgence is one of the reasons why the hotel has been chosen by Conde Nast as the ‘most excellent luxury spa hotel’.
