Health and beauty are not easily maintained in a metropolis the size of São Paulo: sometimes we urban-dwellers need to take a break from this concrete jungle—by heading over to Olimpia Spa.

These inner-city sanctuaries offers aesthetic treatments (such as peeling, cellulite reduction, artificial tanning and aesthetic dentistry), massages (shiatsu, reflexology, hot stone and candle), relaxing baths (in tubs of wine, chocolate, herbs or maracujá juice) and much more. If you find the diversity of Olimpia Spa’s menu a little overwhelming, the full and half-day spas will provide a mélange of the treatments that suit you best.

The spa is also located on the same street as Tantra, an Asian restaurant with colorful, exotic (and even aphrodisiac) dishes, a perfect fit with the rest of the day’s activities.
