spa destinations |

We now live in a time and place where the modern lifestyle
often takes its toll on both body and mind. Gyms,
spas and wellness centres are no longer ordinary places
to exercise. While travelling, it is important to
note that in most countries you will have to pay for
treatment when you fall ill, so travellers are strongly
advised to take out private health insurance. We cannot
predict our future but there are things we can do
to keep a sensible work/life balance. There are several
options available and they all include aspects of
healthy living, from healthy eating to spas and retreats,
revitalizing your life to managing stress. |

Almost
every resort on the island
of Djerba boasts to be the one offering
the best thalasso spa facilities. Whether you are
a well-being fanatic or seeking professional relaxation
therapy, you will be spoilt for choice. Djerbian hoteliers
see space as a necessary luxury and thalassotherapy
as something that no visitor to the island should
be deprived of. The therapeutic use of seawater and
marine products is regulated |
by strict law in
Tunisia so you can be assured to be in safe hands. The treatments
vary but judging from the luxury of the some of the centres
we saw, the vast spaces in which they operate, you can expect
some VIP treatment at the hands of their caring staff. In
addition the extensive wellness and fitness facilities, most
of the hotels have hairdressing and beauty salons.
The
thalassotherapy centre at the Yadis Djerba Golf, Thalasso
& Spa Hotel has 5 unique areas:
• Reception, medial and changing rooms
• Hydrotherapy space with 10 hydromassage bathrooms,
6 seaweed and marine mud treatment rooms, 2 affusion shower
rooms, 2 jet shower rooms, 1 feet bath room and three thalaterm
rooms.
• Fitness space: 2 Turkish baths, 2 saunas, 1 cardio-training
room, 1 seawater walking pool and an outdoors solarium.
• 5 senses space: 9 massage room, relaxation room
with water beds, herb tea bar, cavitosonic room
The One Spa
at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa
The Sheraton Grand
Hotel & Spa is one of the most refreshing places
to stay in Edinburgh.
Edinburgh itself has a lot to offer and a visit
to the One Spa at the Sheraton Grand Hotel makes
it all worthwhile. The award-winning One Spa at
the Sheraton Edinburgh Hotel is a natural balance
of energy, water and heat in a beautiful, light-filled
space. A beautiful swimming pool and shimmering
rooftop Hydropool go hand-in-hand with a rejuvenating
Thermal Suite and a soothing spa treatment programme,
while the advanced fitness studio tones and balances
the body's core.

Back to Basics
– It’s the Therapist that Matters!
Day and salon
spas, are now springing like mushrooms. They are now broadening
their menus of services and treatments, re-focusing on offering
quality massages, facials, and other maintenance/therapeutic
mainstays. Spa consumers don’t necessarily want a
huge, diversified menu from their day spa – what they
want is a place they can visit on a regular basis to achieve
consistent results from a therapist that they know and trust.
Perhaps spas need to put more effort into getting their
customers to come back month after month. Resort and destination
spas have the luxury of time and space to pamper spa-goers
with indulgent and exotic multi-hour treatment experiences,
but we see savvy spa consumers seeking proven results when
tackling their day-to-day needs.
