If Palazzo Versace is one of the world’s finest hotels, then the hotel’s luxury spa Salus Per Aquum must surely qualify as one of the word’s finest spa experiences.
Salus Per Aquum was anointed a Leading Spa of the World in the very first accreditation program conducted by The Leading Hotels of the World in 2005 and again in 2006 & 2007, a programme which acknowledges and ensures guests receive a truly luxurious and satisfying spa experience. The spa, which is privately owned and directed by health and wellness leader Brendan Long, is ensconced in the beautiful and glamorous setting of Australia’s only fashion-branded hotel, impeccably designed and embellished with the unmistakable Versace style. Its discretion is in its private location on the lower lobby floor so you can enter and escape in privacy, and contentment.
Brendan Long has devised a luxurious menu of spa services combining classic and contemporary therapies and beauty treatments which cater for the diverse clientele that visit the luxury premises each year. He has garnered a stellar team of spa specialists who are intuitive and caring in their regard and respect for each guest.
“We continue to support our guests with time-honoured spa therapies that deliver and meet their expectations each and every time,” said Brendan.
“Our massage therapies allow the mind and body to find harmony, so important in this day and age, and we incorporate traditional massage techniques with the natural healingqualities of essential oils. “It’s all about the revival of the spirit,” said Brendan. “Our massage therapists are trained in Lomi Lomi, Shiatsu, Hot Stone Therapy, Kahuna, Japanese as well as relaxation, reflexology and aromatherapy massages popular worldwide with our international clientele and at home. “We are also delighted to provide couples massages in the candlelit Dual Treatment Room, or in the privacy of your Hotel room.” Other vital therapies include the Salus Signature Facial which includes a three-part thermal or rubber lift-off treatment mask, which delivers phenomenal results in skincare and anti-ageing.
The delicious warm waters of Salus Per Aquum’s master-crafted mosaic pool and surrounds are a nurturing finale to your time at the spa whether an hour or a day. The global spa product company Pevonia is the product of choice at Salus Per Aquum for face, body, and spa-care at home. The spa has not overlooked the importance of grooming and there is a range of current beauty treatments and products available to ensure you not only feel your best, but look your best.
Spa Trends
Trends are also closely observed, so there is the opportunity for families and their more grown-up children, to book Salus Per Aquum for private Spa Parties, where a combination of spa therapies and grooming treatments are a favourite. “It’s not just our celebrities that indulge in this way,” said Brendan.
Grooming
For the everyday in line with looking good, you must indulge in a French Polish Hand Treatment, a rejuvenating Pedispa and your choice of Waxing which is an essential for looking your very best on Queensland’s Gold Coast. Eyebrow shaping is another popular request providing an instant lift for the face.
