Spa

Set among the spinifex and the red sand of the outback, Spa Kinara is a cool, calm retreat reflecting the clever design of a traditional Aboriginal shelter, or wiltja. Kinara means ‘moon’ in Pitjantjatjara, and offers a spiritually grounding, revitalising connection between the traditional country and the vast blue-domed sky that cloaks the landscape.

Bush medicine

A powerful bush medicine used by Aboriginal ngangkari or healers, irmangka-irmangka is also known as Scented Emu Bush and is used in many treatments at Spa Kinara. The general cure-all is made from the bush’s fresh leaves, mixed with olive oil to form a balm. The balm is made by the ladies in the Ngangkari Program run by the local Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Lands Women’s Council.

Inspired by her upbringing in wellness, the range embraces age-old practises of alchemy, ‘making magic from nature’ using a blend of local botanicals and sustainable ingredients and is guided by ancient lore gifted from Australia’s First Nations people and global healing remedies.
