The soothing scents of essential oils will greet you as attentive therapists help you get settled in whichever area of the spacious spa you wish to begin your relaxation. Inclusive of all the expected spa amenities (Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room) the spa additionally boasts a utopian indoor pool complete with wooden bridge, candles and a flowing waterfall. There are numerous enclosed treatment rooms, spread over two floors, where one can experience all manner of treatments from the spa’s brand new menu. Renowned French skincare line Phytomer is used to deliver targeted facial and body treatments. Designed to harness the benefits of the sea, Phytomer’s marine cosmetics are ideal for cleansing, cleaning and refreshing skin, ultimately leaving you rejuvenated and healthy. Whatever your skincare issues, you can target your ailments with one of the facial and body treatments listed. Whether you crave younger-looking skin, radiant eyes, a sculpted figure, or a brighter complexion, the expertlytrained therapists promise to soothe both your skin and your mind. Impressively, there are over eight types of massages available, from Swedish to Thai to a marine-based treatment. For busy professionals, an express back and shoulders massage will provide a quick fix. If your feet need tending to, book a foot and leg massage, a session of reflexology or an express foot treatment. Finish up with a manicure or pedicure to ensure you leave looking perfectly pruned. We recommend you select a spa package, which will fill a morning or afternoon with nothing but solace and calm. If you want to try a few different treatments select the ‘Mix n Match’, or if you have plenty of time and want to be entirely indulged then go for the ‘Spa Day’ package. If you don’t have much time, the ‘Quick Fix’ package will leave you rejuvenated after a quick facial and massage; alternatively, if your body is the area that needs the work then opt for the ‘Body Care.’ And don’t forget the man in your life! There is a whole separate spa across the poolside for gents to unwind in, with specific maleorientated treatments on offer using Phytomer’s ‘Homme’ line. Regardless, be sure to make a day of it if you can and revel in the spa’s complimentary facilities before or after your treatments.
