Introducing Elysium Spa: A New Wellness Retreat at Hotel La Compañía del Valle

A Sanctuary of Wellness Emerges in Panama’s Scenic Highlands

Hyatt Hotels Corporation and La Compañía Hotels & Resorts have unveiled a breathtaking wellness destination—Elysium Spa & Wellness House—nestled within the luxury confines of Hotel La Compañía del Valle, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. Spanning an impressive 22,000 square feet, this spa sanctuary is located in the strikingly beautiful highlands of Panama’s El Valle de Antón, offering guests an immersive retreat for mind, body, and spirit.

Design Rooted in Nature and History

The architectural and interior design of Elysium Spa draws inspiration from ancient Roman bathhouses and the volcanic landscape that defines Panama’s terrain. Visitors are greeted by serene arched stone corridors and the raw, textured beauty of locally sourced volcanic stone, which seamlessly connects the spa to its natural surroundings.

Carefully chosen materials such as carved marble, raw timber, and oxidized metals create a dynamic contrast of tactile sensations, while soft cove lighting and flickering sconces envelop the space in a tranquil, almost sacred ambiance. Vaulted ceilings filter in natural light, spotlighting areas of relaxation, and private terraces frame breathtaking views of the surrounding cloud forest and the majestic La India Dormida mountain.

Experiential Wellness: Treatments and Facilities

Guests at Elysium Spa embark on a journey of deep restoration and sensory renewal. The wellness experience includes thermal pools, hammam-inspired steam rooms, and private treatment suites that feature specialized therapies such as wine and cacao treatments.

The spa menu is rich with options that harness elements from the earth, water, wind, and metal, working together to promote balance and rejuvenation. Particularly notable are the antioxidant-packed Wine Therapy treatments, which use grape extracts to revitalize the skin, and the Lavender Ritual, combining gentle exfoliation with soothing body wraps to enhance natural radiance.

Other signature wraps include the Cacao Experience, which nourishes deeply, the energizing Geisha Coffee Wrap, and a refreshing Panama-Citrus Wrap that exfoliates with enzymatic papaya. The spa also incorporates native Panamanian ingredients such as pomegranate, Jejú Jolitdaecha volcanic extracts, and bamboo in its scrubs and facials, showcasing a commitment to local wellness traditions.

Massage Treatments and Additional Amenities

• Signature Feel Elysium Massage
• Swedish Massage
• Deep Tissue Therapy
• Specialized Prenatal and Sports Massages

Each treatment is complimented by access to remarkable spa facilities including a Himalayan salt room, an aromatherapy steam room, a mud therapy room, jacuzzi, and a unique sensory deprivation pool—considered the spa’s centerpiece. To complete the indulgence, guests enjoy included refreshments designed to promote holistic wellbeing.

Hotel La Compañía del Valle: Wellness in a Natural Gallery

Hotel La Compañía del Valle itself is a 72-room boutique luxury hotel situated inside an extinct volcanic crater. It marries Tuscan-inspired architecture with a cultural spirit, featuring the world’s largest outdoor sculpture park with over 200 works crafted from marble, steel, granite, bronze, and wood. The lush gardens encircle the property, bordered by three distinct mountains: La India Dormida, El Gaital, and Las Tres Marías.

Just two hours from Panama City, the hotel offers a tranquil escape deeply connected to its natural environment and cultural heritage. It complements the legacy of its sister property, Hotel La Compañía Casco Antiguo, located in Panama City, which occupies a restored 17th-century Jesuit convent blending Spanish Colonial and Beaux-Arts architecture.

Seamless Journeys Between Panama’s Diverse Landscapes

To provide guests with a comprehensive Panama experience, private transportation links the two hotels, allowing travelers to effortlessly move from the city’s historic charm to the serene mountain retreat. Tailored packages encourage visitors to enjoy luxury accommodations at both sites, experiencing the full spectrum of Panama’s cultural richness and natural beauty.

A Rich Tradition of Spa and Wellness Tourism

Spas today are multifaceted, often featuring treatments based on hydrotherapy, massage, aromatherapy, and local natural ingredients—a practice seen here in Panama, which integrates volcanic minerals and indigenous botanicals.
