If you are in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, you can get to experience the soothing power of kinkeliba in a seamless melding of massage techniques and traditional African pharmacopoeia at Kente Sky Spa, nestled in old Cocody, the city within sight but far from its din, and a fantastic view of the bay to get you relaxed.

Black pepper is hot; its extract isn’t something to dabble all over you with reckless abandon. However, at Kente Sky Spa, you can actually get a black pepper bath-it will sweat you out and so relax you.

Maybe black pepper and kinkeliba are like being dunked in the deep end for you; no worries, there are plenty of options to choose from; there’s shea, honey, eucalyptus, lavender, orange blossom, lemon, and countless traditional aromatic herbs to choose from, all natural, and all produced by Kente Sky Spa.

If you are looking for a scrub, you’ll likewise be spoilt for choice; do you want lemongrass, coffee, hibiscus, mango bark, or something that incorporates fermented papayas? You choose.
