The spa is a highlight of the hotel, which soft-opened in November and is located in Central Pattaya within a ten minutes’ stroll of the beach.

Each spa journey includes a relaxing soak with mineral-rich sea salts where you float weightlessly in a Dead Sea floatation pool, soothing the nervous system and bringing relief to skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

Traces of magnesium, calcium, sulphur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc, and potassium present in the Dead Sea deposits help to improve overall skin condition, bringing a healthy glow to the complexion.

Guests may also further indulge in steam baths, a Vichy rain shower to invigorate the senses, or relax with traditional Thai treatments administered by a team of professionals dedicated to profound wellbeing.

Day packages are based per person, which includes the use of the salt pool, and any choice of one massage and one mud treatment. Other treatments include detoxification programs incorporating Dead Sea mud wraps and body polishes using local seaweed and herbs.

Facilities at the new Spa Cenvaree include the Dead Sea floatation pool, steam infusion room, Vichy rain shower, hydro capsule for weight-loss programmes, multi-sensory treatment rooms, Thai Massage rooms, a relaxation lounge, and a spa boutique.

Nova Hotel & Spa Pattaya is the newest addition to the Centara Boutique Collection, and along with Spa Cenvaree includes a fitness center and an extensive swimming pool complete with dedicated pool bar. The hotel accommodation consists of 79 rooms and one-bedroom suites.
