We have gathered together for you curative water therapies spanning four continents and cultures, from the rituals of the Celtics Druids and ancient Romans to the Austrian valleys. Some of these are still practiced today in villages in far away lands. It is our wish for you that you experience the magic and healing powers of our alkaline-based spring waters.

Seaweed Wrap with Vichy Rain Shower Therapy

A unique and luxurious water therapy originating from France which stimulates the entire body and activates its detoxification systems. During this special Vichy treatment, you will be lying on a special Vichy bed and decadently lathered in rich warm seaweed mask. Following this you will be covered with the airy Vichy Shower tent and a soft flow of warm steam will begin to descend from seven shower heads inside the tent. Relax and enjoy this beautiful sensation while your therapist performs a light scalp massage. As the pores begin to open they absorb the gifts of the sea, hand harvested from the west coast of Canada, rich in hundreds of trace minerals. At the same time, the seaweed compound is drawing out toxins allowing for a deep purification. The water then begins to flow as the Vichy Rain Shower is turned on, giving you a joyful sensation and knowing all the impurities are being washed clean away. Once completely clean and dried off, your therapists will follow up with a warm application of seaweed body lotion great for hydration, firming and reduction of cellulite. This treatment is a divinely unique experience and essential to your body’s health maintenance. 75 min $155

Moon Phase Sole Bath ~ pre-order only ~ take to your suite or take home

This is a very old bath ritual of the Druids, the most common ingredient being holy water, pure spring water bubbling up from the ground. The cleansing effect of this 30~minute sole (pronounced 'so-lay' and meaning 'liquid sunlight') mixture bath equals that of a three-day fast. The toxins are released into the bath water, while the minerals from the sole are absorbed through the skin. This reduces the acidity in our body and gets rid of skin-irritations. We make the sole mixture twice a month; during the full moon phase and the new moon phase. This very special mixture along with instructions are provided to our guests, and taken in the comfort of your own suite during the moon phases. 48 hour advance ordering recommended in order for us to prepare the brine.  Moon Phase Sole Infusion $40

Full Moon ~ On the day of the full moon the healing process of the body is at its peak as is its absorption potential to absorb the most minerals from the salt bath. The mineral materials penetrate and are absorbed into the skin in the form of ions. Bioenergetic weak points are harmonized and the bodies own energy flow is activated.

New Moon ~ At new moon, the body's capacity for detoxification is at its highest. Weight loss is also supported at this time.
