Are you for a treatment relaxation in the late sunset or in the sunrise? I think that it is about the emotional evocation created in the spa individual and the mood. For instance, I generally prefer the late sunset if the weather is suitable for an outdoor refreshment. I found it more mystic, quiet and meditative. However, sometimes I may prefer to have an early start to the day to make myself bloom. Spa lovers..Here is a good example of a late sunset experience; the oceanic view, the mysticism in the air,  the candles, two white long beds on wooden floorings at Gili Lankanfushi Resort. Don’t you think that the interior design is so simple but adequate in terms of ambiance creation?;)

Make-up, Fragrance, Skincare & Spa brand, Guerlain opened its first spa in Avenue des Champs-Elysees in 1939. Massage method specific to Guerlain has been enriched with several beauty treatments around the world over the years. I believe that expanding a prestigious beauty brand with a spa concept is a quite smart action plan since aesthetics & beauty would have been combined with a journey ambiance where guests may fully catch the sense of being “special & cheerful” with the help of own products & equipments. I find this Guerlain expansion case very advantageous relying to its available brand awareness, customer loyalty level and product range. Spa lovers..As you notice at the top, a white background with white embossed letters and sophisticated bottles…I think that the sense of luxury, purity and comfort are completely reflected to the brand image. I tried and satisfied with Guerlain Famous Terracottas, so far but did not experience a Guerlain Spa. Hope to find at...

Drinking wine is a pleasure for most of us in combination with cheese options or a delicious suitable meal. What about our skin? Any beneficial effect could be possible? The answer is believed to be “yes” based on “Vinotherapie” J Vinotherapie is a kind of therapy relying to the process of rubbing the residue of wine making process into the skin. Moreover, the pulp is suggested for exfoliating the skin and reducing problematic areas of the body. It is also used in anti-aging skin care systems; it is one of the most essential ingredients of related products. Spa Lovers..As you know Caudalie has an inspiring story emanating from Bordeux Vineyards. The starting point is the exceptional powers of vine and grapes for the skin care. Now, Caudalie has 8 Vinotherapie spa locations around the World where several natural winey products and therapies are met with guests. Last week, I went to Caudalie Vinotherapie in Istanbul to try “Wine Maker Massage” applied with the help of a specific ro...

Solving inconsistencies and deciding on a specific path are necessary steps for the happiness of human being. For these steps, you should find some places where you can breathe, relax, shine and catch enthusiasm. Only when you go into this mood, your decisions and actions would be steady and satisfying; in fact, it means that you are ready for the change, as well. Therefore, I believe that spas are really helpful to discover and experience the wisdom of being solitary for some period and using this as a self path finder strategy. I think that peace, serenity and lightsome solitude are core feelings for self & inner improvement which you can attain in successfully designed spas. Here is an example for a minimalist spa room. It is absolutely spacious, oceanic, pure and geometric. The dominance of white among black, blue, fiery and stony items brings a vivacious tranquility to the atmosphere. Spa lovers, you can be a strong go-getter in the aim of finding happiness in this k...

Namale is a luxurious resort & spa located in Fiji Island. Interestingly, I could not find any specific evidence related to the meaning of “Namale”. However, I strongly presume that it should probably be a name dedicated to a local tribe. Even there is an oceanic side of the island, from this perspective, I expect more terrestiral & greeny colours which are more related to nature as a first connotation. Spa lovers.. As you see, the logo is only composed of a yellow green lamina which I found a little bit classic natural / authentic, standard and simple. In my opinion, the lamina would have been schemed with a more modern concept using the same colours. On the other hand, this resort welcomes many celebrities from diverse backgrounds such as Donna Karan, Pat Riley, Russell Crowe, Edward Norton, Meg Ryan and Mike Myers. Moreover, it is the winner of Travelers’ Choice 2013. It seems that you can experience serenity and excitement at the same ti...

The usage of crystallines is believed to help in releasing blocked energy in the whole body. Generally, these crystallines are chosen and placed in chakra areas referring to their energy topics; for instance if it is the throat part, it mostly symbolizes self expression power. In case there is an energy blockage in that part, the related cyristalline is smoothly posed in place. Moreover, there are few hints for usage; here are some: *cyrstals should be smooth and glide easily over the skin *they should be cleansed (burying, holding under water, creating vibrations with sound etc) * they should be dedicated for a specific reason *they should be programmed by imagining and feeling positive intentions Furthermore, this healing method is normally combined with other therapies such as Shiatsu, Sweedish and Thai massages. Therefore, the relaxation and clearance levels become more and more powerful and intense. Spa lovers…I found this one really inspiring & intrig...

Creativity shall be on display in all aspects of life as is in spa design. Location, related dynamics and concept should prepare a strong base for the creation process of a unique design. If you are to make a difference, you should think outside the box; you should be able to redound new dimensions. Spa lovers..Here is a striking design relying to Tschuggen Bergoase spa suites. The suites are schemed as leaves in the middle of nature full of  trees and snow and adorned with sky lights. I really enjoyed even when dreaming myself visiting there to have a spa break and promenade in nature’s pocket. I would probably shine out if I truly experience this beauty J How about you? ;)
