My wife and I attended Yoga classes at Buena Vida with the wonderful Lorence (I hope spelt correctly). She was a perfect teacher adapting our sessions to cope with a couple of non flexible over 60’s. She was patient kind and the love of yoga shone through. We loved our sessions with her.
We also had a couple of spa treatments in the treatment rooms which was regenerative and a treat after a hard days diving.

Unfortunately i found out this place at the end of our trip,because it situated on a second line of a beach( behind the resorts,which are on the first row of the beach). I attended Yoga classes,which you need to make a booking in advance. They have morning and afternoon Yoga classes, I went for afternoon class which was beginning level and was totally safe for my 5 months old pregnancy.They have vegan restaurant and SPA salon,which looked amazing,but unfortunately we did not have enough time to experience.... But I met wonderful woman there, her name is Antonia and she has her own hair salon by the hotel. OMG!!! You should definately go there!!! All her products are organic and imported from Italy, she makes amazing job for a very good price!!! I had hair color and treatment, which were totally safe for pregnancy and result is amazing!!! After all this snorkeling and swimming on the ocean my hair got very dry and lost color, but now effect is still there!!!! Just regret that i did not try Spa...reservation in advance is requiered.

after diving and swimming all day , it's nice to have a relaxing place on this island . Absolutely amazing spa,(we went there almost everyday, the last day on the island we went there kinda late so we didn't have time to do the spa that upset me 😢 ) staff are nice and friendly. They helped my bf to set up an amazing dinner and spa surprise for my birthday. It was absolutely amazing. Food was fantastic. Thank you so much Rose. We will definitely come back . Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

The spa has so many different choices regarding different treatments to adapt to what each person prefers. One of my favorites is the aloe Vera massage which really helped soothe the sunburn (which is inevitable under the island sun) on my body within one treatment. They use all natural and organic products, such as the fresh aloe plant thy they cut from the garden to use in my massage.
They also offer yoga and a hair salon/ hair spa, which is run by a very friendly and enchanting Italian woman, Antonia.
The staff and owner Fabien are very professional and helpful in assuring your stay is pleasant and you are pampered in the spa.
The facilities are taken care of and look new and clean, I'm very happy with the experience I had there.

I am a very demanding person who doesn't get haircuts anywhere but in Italy. Antonia managed to get my trust and did an incredible job! The place is beautiful and full of great amenities that give an even better experience! If you need to get haircut or spa sessions go there. There is also a decent gym, not easy to find in the island.

The all vegetarian and vegan menu for lunch was delicious, and the spa treatments are absolutely amazing - we had a package of the body scrub and harmony massage. We couldn't fault it if we tried! But it was the warmth, openness and helpful nature of the staff that really made our time at Buena vida 5 star!
Anyone visiting Malapascua must visit here for top quality treatment by lovely people! Thank you Fabienne, Lorenza and the rest of your team! We hope to be back to practice some yoga together in the future! Namaste

This one of those difficult reviews to write because I have so many positive things to say about Buena Vida Spa. I had booked myself and my partner in for a spa day for my partner’s birthday which coincided with our stay at Malapascua Island. It was to include a one-hour body scrub, one-hour massage, and half-hour face scrub for the very reasonable price of PHP 1950 (just less than £30 per person). We also opted for a three-course meal after the spa treatment (an additional PHP 500 per person). So, how did it go? Well, way beyond our expectations! Upon arrival, we received the warmest greeting ever and were given a lemongrass drink that was very tasty. We were given the time necessary to relax into the setting and decide when we wanted the spa experience to begin. The facility is beautifully designed and decorated; they have definitely put in a lot of thought to the aesthetics of the place and have not cut any corners in doing so. The spa experience itself was a.m.a.z.i.n.g! We were given the treatment together in a couple’s treatment room and it was very professional: the masseuses really knew what they were doing and the products that they used were top-end. The dinner was also amazing; one of the best vegetarian meals I have had as far as can remember, and I used to be a vegetarian for five years! It was served in a gazebo in an entirely private setting by the outdoor jacuzzi, with the table surrounded by candles and rose petals. Neither words nor photos can do the setting justice, it was probably one of the nicest things I have experienced, ever. My partner was totally melting by the romance, after all it had been organised for her! We have since returned for manicures, pedicures, additional massages, and dinners and these have also all been excellent!
Do not miss out on the Buena Vida experience while you are in Malapascua Island.

The spa came to the rescue on Christmas Day when most of the island was closed down due to the typhoon. Really relaxing and a great atmosphere. The spa is beautifully furnished. Good prices for treatments.

We did not stay at Buena Vida Resort (although next time I would love to, it looks amazing!), but took some yoga classes and a massage at the spa. This place is a tranquil oasis with a very special vibe and great staff! The massage experiences are excellent, with aroma therapy filled private rooms, it's out of this world. Definitely the highlight of our stay on Malapascua!

We didn't stay here, but we took an aroma therapy massage.
I can't speak for my Better Half, but I only consciously witnessed the first half of it. After that everything is a blur and all I remember is the soothing background music.
Super relaxing, beautiful surroundings, great eye for detail. Very friendly and helpful staff. The massage therapists are very skilled and professional.
It's not just a massage, it's an experience.
Daily yoga and other experiences available.
Absolutely recommended!
