The Nagira spa treatment room — linen throw, candlelight, and the garden beyond the window

Spa & Wellness

Relax. Restore. Reconnect.

Treatments drawn from the region we sit in — Tsavo's red earth, the shade of the baobab, the coffee of the highlands — taken slowly, beside the largest pool in the district.

The spa, pool and gym at Nagira sit together in the gardens and are open daily from 6:00am to 10:00pm. House guests use the pool and gym at no charge; visitors are welcome on a day pass at KES 1,300 on weekdays and KES 1,800 at weekends and public holidays, with KES 500 of either redeemable at the restaurant. Children aged 5 to 12 pay KES 500 any day, under-fives are free with a paying adult, and gym use is 16 and over. Spa treatments run from a 15-minute polish change at KES 800 to the Half-Day Tranquility journey at KES 14,500, taking in massages, facials, body treatments and three signature rituals drawn from the region. Treatments are by appointment with at least three hours' notice, longer for the signature rituals and journeys.

The Nagira originals — not found elsewhere in Taveta.

  • Tsavo Red Clay Wrap

    KES 5,500

    60 minutes

    A full-body wrap in mineral-rich red volcanic clay, the same earth that colours Tsavo's elephants, drawing out heat and tension before a warm rinse and shea finish.

  • Lake Chala Stone Massage

    KES 6,800

    75 minutes

    Heated basalt stones and a cooling jade finish, echoing the crater lake nearby — deep warmth through the shoulders and back, closed with a cool, calming pass.

  • Nagira Pool-Day Ritual

    KES 9,800

    2 hours · massage, scrub & poolside rest

    A full-body scrub, a 60-minute relaxation massage, then unhurried time at the pool with a cold pressed juice. Best begun mid-morning.

  • Baobab & Marula Aromatherapy

    A full-body massage in warmed baobab and marula oil, chosen for how well both sit with equatorial sun and skin.

    Two therapists, one room — the same classic relaxation massage, taken together.

  • Baobab Hydration Facial

    KES 4,200

    50 minutes

    Deep moisture for skin dried out by sun, dust and the pool — baobab oil is rich in the fatty acids that restore it.

Body Treatments
