Experience what wellness truly means spa-one-experience-what-wellness-truly-means SometWhat can we say? Nothing is better than a hidden SPA in the middle of a forest, located right smack in the center of a lavish holiday retreat. Welcome to Spa ONE!

The word “Spa” is actually an acronym of a Latin phrase: “Salus per Aquam” which means “health from water”. Roman soldiers would use hot mineral springs to treat aching muscles and battle wounds. While usually the traditional idea of spas can be associated with Roman baths, there is hard evidence of these types of therapies dating back thousands of years, intertwined with the belief in the curative powers of mineral waters. Spa ONE builds upon these traditions and offers a variety of experiences, creating an atmosphere of total relaxation and rebirth.

2. Get introduced to Hammam, Rasul & Singing Bowls

There is so much more to wellness than massages and classical SPA treatments, and these should all be experienced linked together, by choosing a little bit of everything and emerging yourself in a parallel universe, where your body and soul are treated in tandem.

Hammam

Spa ONE offers a wonderful Hammam ritual, which you will be able to experience with all of your senses. It revolves around warmth, water, cleansing and relaxation. An elaborate scrub ritual, done on heated marble tables, it focuses on covering your body with an abundance of water and soft olive oil soap. Preformed with a silk glove (kese), after the exfoliation part, you will be treated with warm olive oil foam trough a cotton bag (torba). This will cover you from head to toe, then gently washed, removing dead skin cells and stimulating blood flow, achieving muscle relaxation. Hammam is only possible in combination with a sauna visit.

Rasul

Originally an oriental bathing ritual, your body gets lubricated with Rasul (lava mud). This clay mud treatment is very rich in minerals (magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese) and is known for its healing, deep-cleansing and revitalizing effects. The ritual ends with warm water rinse at one of the showers outside the steam room. As Rasul is a group ritual, you will be partaking with several guests at the same time.

Singing Bowl Session

Singing bowls originate from Tibet and are used to start or end a meditation session. It is a bowl-shaped musical instrument, which is created from an alloy of different metals. As the human body consists mainly of water, the vibrations can have a wonderful effect on the body and soul. The results are physical and mental relaxation. This is also a group ritual, where you will be experiencing this in a room with several other people.

3. The luxury of Piroche cosmetics

Achieving natural beauty, biological rejuvenation and mental balance is very much possible with the Piroche Cosmétiques line, based on the 5-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

4. The wonders facials can offer

Even if you don’t have any problems with blemishes, hyperpigmentation, acne or other skin problems, your face needs and deserves to be pampered by professionals who are trained to keep you healthy. Besides this, it is probably the best way to find out if your skin needs any further attention, and how it is currently reacting to pollution, stress and other elements which affect skin texture. An amazing facial massage not only makes your skin glow, but also destresses you and aids in relaxation. Facials at Spa ONE are also done with the high-end Piroche Cosmétiques line. For the “Energetic Mini Face Lift” the lympho trainer is used but all other facial treatments are done manually.

5. Pamper your entire body with treatments
