The Mediterranean Journey Begins
A sensory journey awaits as you step into the Champneys Spa Indulgence Mediterranean. The subtle notes of citrus and lavender evoke the essence of the Mediterranean, setting the tone for an immersive experience that calms the mind and soothes the soul.
At the heart of this journey lies the magnificent hydrotherapy pool, its turquoise waters sparkling under the natural light filtering through the discreet domes overhead. This expansive, heated pool, inspired by the traditional Turkish hamam, is a serene sanctuary where the healing power of water is truly appreciated.
The Art of Hydrotherapy
Immerse yourself in the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy, as alternating temperatures stimulate circulation, ease tension, and invigorate the senses. The pool's design, with its discrete zinc and bronze finish, whispers tales of ancient bathing rituals, adding a touch of history to your contemporary adventure.
Experience the revitalizing effects of the various feature enhancements, such as the swan neck showers, sauna, and experience showers. Each offers a unique sensory experience, encouraging total body relaxation and promoting overall well-being.
The Blessing of licked Stone
A defining feature of the Champneys Spa Indulgence Mediterranean is the replicated Turkish hamam, a traditional water system carved from local lumber and stone. This aromatic grotto, with its warm stone seats, presents an evocative atmosphere, inviting you to savour the authentic experience of a true Mediterranean hamam.
The gentle hum of the authentic Turkish coffee house, showcasing a unique, large-capacity, traditional coffee pot, completes the picture. Sit back, relax, and allow the rich aroma and earthy taste of Turkish coffee to awaken your senses.
The Basket of Life: Mediterranean Therapies
The Mediterranean influence permeates the treatment menu, offering an array of indulgent therapies designed to pamper, rejuvenate, and delight. Each treatment is a blend of the region's rich cultural heritage and Champneys' signature approach to wellness.
From the traditional Greek cocalith therapy, which uses warm poultices of herbs and black sand to stimulate energy and circulation, to the luxurious Moroccan Rasul, where you can enjoy a private mosaic chamber equipped with heat therapy and mineral clay for a full-body mud application, the Champneys Spa Indulgence Mediterranean offers a world of possibilities.
The Luxurious Hammam Therapy
The hammam therapy, a traditional Greek purification ritual, begins with a full-body exfoliation using a kese mitt and organic olive oil soap, followed by a ETGE rice milk body wrap to cleanse and detoxify the skin. The treatment culminates in a rejuvenating application of Gerradine Crystal Salt, leaving your skin deliciously smooth and glowing.
Complement this treatment with a relaxing aromatherapy back massage, enhanced by the gentle comfort of hot basil balms. This dual therapy harmoniously balances relaxation and invigoration, allowing for a complete surrender to the soothing bliss of the Spa Indulgence Mediterranean.
