March 2017 -  The number of men requesting treatments and spa services on holiday has increased dramatically.  In response, the spa world - which was once viewed as a female refuge - has manned up with new treatments, alternative therapies and personalised spa breaks tailored to men.    

For The Residence by Cenizaro the rise in men requesting spa treatments and services has been evident.  As such, each of the collection’s ocean facing hotels – in the Maldives, Mauritius and Zanzibar – has responded to the demand with new treatments and wellness offerings designed to appeal to the male guest.
