The Healing Waters Spa at Silky Oaks Lodge has been inspired by ancient Indigenous beliefs that the water in the Mossman River is a renewing and life-giving force. The spa offers six cool salons with rainforest views, including a couples’ room and a Vichy shower.

Located in an area that resonates with ancient ceremonies and whispers of sacred healings, guests are encouraged to journey the tranquil garden paths to the spa and explore the peace and calmness of one of nature’s most ancient landscapes, The Daintree. Designed with renewal, vitality and well-being in mind, simply relax and rejuvenate, using the power of water and the tranquillity of the surrounding Daintree rainforest.

A signature menu of rejuvenation treatments features the Australian-made Sodashi skin care range, combining aromatherapy and natural botanicals with Ayurvedic principals to nurture the body and soul with wholeness, purity and radiance. The ultimate indulgence is the ‘Ulysses’, a complete face and body treatment encompassing purifying mud bath and Vichy shower overlooking the rainforest canopy.

In an ode to Country, treatments also feature locally made products from Alkeme. The range embraces the age-old practises of alchemy, ‘making magic from nature’ using a blend of local botanicals and with ancient Aboriginal lore gifted by the Ya’itd Mathang tribes of Australia.
