The Luxury Spa Resort That’s A Little Slice Of Heaven

- JUL 11, 2018 WEDNESDAY

We all need a little luxury in our lives. The mundanity of the daily grind, the expectations we place on ourselves, and the pressures of work life can slowly whittle away at our health and wellbeing — leaving us all craving a little TLC.

Celebrities have a not-so-well-kept secret solution — spas! Lots and lots of spas!

Whether you have a taste for lavish and rejuvenating facials like Gwyneth Paltrow at Vanessa Hernandez Skincare in Los Angeles or want to relax in an aquatonic seawater jet pool like Claire Danes at the Ayana Resort and Spa in Bali, spa resorts have been a long beloved form of relaxation among the Hollywood elite.

To indulge in some top market celebrity pampering you need to look no further than the Golden Door Health Retreat and Day Spa in Australia’s Hunter Region.

The spa is “a sanctuary from day-to-day life. Guest accommodation is surrounded by picturesque views of the Hunter Valley wine country, Broken Back and Barrington Tops mountain ranges, allowing guests to breathe fresh country air each day.”

Breathtaking views of the surrounding region are only one of the spa’s many perks. The resort provides three focus points; Nutrition, Movement, and Restoration, that when combined allow you to master wellness holistically.

Paying attention to our health is especially important during the Winter season which can be the time of year most detrimental to our wellbeing. The cold temperatures and wind-chill chaps the lips and skin, we lose the motivation to get out of the house and exercise, and some of us even get a case of seasonal affective disorder, a mood disorder most common in Winter.

To combat this year’s Winter blues, the retreat will be offering a ‘Winter Glow’ promotion from July 1 – August 31.

“Your luxurious treatment begins with an invigorating Aromatic Salt Glow. Using aromatic oils to relax, rebalance or re-energise your mind and body, your skin will be left feeling replenished and velvety soft. Continue your treatment with a beautiful Collagen Booster Facial. By stimulating the natural collagen in your skin, this facial will give your skin more elasticity, plumpness, with a visibly smooth and healthy glow.”

The treatment above lasts for 100 minutes;
