Luxurious Spa Gifts

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

There are a number of amazing spa gifts you can get for your friends and family this year, but if you’re looking to go the extra mile by shelling out the big bucks you might consider one of these luxurious spa gifts:

1. Crystal Massage Therapy: For centuries people have worn crystal and jade because of the belief that they contained healing properties. These treatments are widespread across Asia and are spreading into Europe and western society. Although there is no medical proof that crystals, diamonds or jade hold any healing benefits, if the person that you are giving this gift to believes that they do have healing benefits, then it’s as good as if they have been proven by the medical society. You can purchase these services at a number of high end spas, including the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, Twelve Apostles Hotel and Sanctuary Spa in Cape Town and Twelve Apostles Hotel and Sanctuary Spa in Cape Town. Read more about Crystal Massage Therapy here.

2. Gold Facial: The 24 Karat Gold Facial has become more and more popular in the past decade, because of it’s ability to reduce file lines on the face and to prevent aging. This treatment is only available at a handful of spas and beauty centers in the country, including the Veronica Spa in Malibu California, where they use 24 Karat Gold, Gama PGA and Nano Mist technology to help lighten, brighten and hydrate your skin to leave it firmer and younger feeling. The Willow Stream Spa At Fairmont Newport Beach also offers a gold facial using the same technique as the Veronica Spa. Read more about gold facials here.

3. Luxury Spa Retreat: Who wouldn’t want to get away from it all, to have nothing to worry about but relaxing and enjoying high end treatments and services? There are hundreds, if not thousands of luxury spas in the country, all which offer nothing but the highest level of service with their luxury treatments. You can find a full, complete list of luxury spas in the US through the use of Spa Finder’s search tool.

4. Installation of a Steam Shower – The ultimate spa gift is having your own luxury steam shower. A steam shower will bring with it an added luxury that will not only increase the value of your home, but also increase your enjoyment and add endless home spa options to your home relaxation. Steam showers can be affordable, but make sure to have the pros install it if you don’t trust yourself with the installation because no gift should turn into a project gone wrong.

Top 5 Odd Spa Treatments

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Over the years the spa industry has done a lot of things to diversify and stay competitive by adding more “different” kinds spa treatments to their menus. Here are just a few of our favorites:

5. Wine Soak Spa Treatment - Many of us enjoy drinking a glass of wine while we soak, but thanks to a growing trend that has spread to the US, now you can actually soak in wine! You can choose to completely soak in a wine spa, or even get a wine or Champagne body scrub, foot soak or massage.

4. Pelvic Health Integrated Techniques - These spa treatments are all targeted at the female’s nether regions. Who knew there were spas devoted entirely to this? We wrote about Medical Spas a few days ago, and these types of spas are similar except they only focus on that one section of a woman. Some of the “rejuvenation” treatments include: Kegel Exercises, Electrical Stimulation, Nonsurgical Labial Contouring, Invasive Tightening Surgery, Reconstructive Surgery and more.

3. Warmed Golf Ball Massage - This is the first we’ve ever heard of this before, but apparently the Four Seasons’ spa in Scottsdale AZ has this crazy (yet delightful sounding?) spa treatment. Of course this treatment is designed for golfers who are looking to stay at the top of their game by alleviating tension and stiffness.

2. Snake Massage - Many women may cringe at the thought of a snake massage, but believe it or not there are spas that are actually using these slimy serpents to “relax” their spa goers. One such spa is Ada Barak’s spa in the town of Talmei Elazar in Israel where they use small snakes for places like the face for a lighter massage and bigger snakes for the deep tissue massage.

1. 24 Karat Gold Facial - Now this is a treatment we can get behind! Imagine living in the lap of luxury to the point where your facial is actually done with 24 Karat Gold! At the Veronica Spa in Malibu California, they use 24 Karat Gold, Gama PGA and Nano Mist technology to help lighten, brighten and hydrate your skin to leave it firmer and younger feeling. We don’t know if it works, but it sure is Odd!
