The Matava eco and adventure resort on the island of Kadavu in Fiji has added a day spa to its facilities.

With two treatment rooms - including a couples' room - the Bamboo Spa will reflect the resort's ethos of being green and sustainable.

The spa is powered entirely using solar power, making it the only carbon neutral spa in the South Pacific.

Resort director Stuart Gow said: "All water is heated by a roof mounted solar system, and 12V lighting using solar power lights the treatment rooms."

All treatments at the spa will also use products sourced exclusively from Fiji. The menu includes body scrubs using coconut and natural cane sugar, as well as wraps and facials using traditional dilo butter.
