Keeping age-old Indian rituals alive, the Jiva Spa welcomes guests with a foot-wash (with essential oils, ginger and fennel). The spa offers an expansive range of rejuvenating therapies which use herbs, aromatherapy oils, and all-natural creams. In particular, the 'Abhisheka,' 'Alepa,' and 'Jivaniya,' are extremely popular.The Jiva Spa also has very sought after meditation and yoga sessions (abiding by the rules and practices of the Bihar School of Yoga). Ensconced as it is within the plush environs of the Taj Vivanta, the Jiva Spa offers possibly the most premium spa experience in Goa.
