February
is the month of love and romance, offering the perfect
‘raison d'être’ to indulge in a bout of
beautifying, and ignite the passion of your loved one. What
better way to pledge your devotion to your sweetheart than with a
pampering makeover that will have him (or her) looking at you in
a whole new light?
Your
pampering journey begins with a 60 minute Scen

warm stones and Scentao oil, exuding
precious herbal essences from Asia
that strengthen the skin’s natural defenses and regulate
its moisture levels. Simultaneously, nourishing plant oils treat
and heal the skin, leaving you feeling soft and supple from tip
to toe, while the fresh, energising
scent of Scen Tao enhances your feeling
of well-being.
Rounding
off your transformation is a refreshing 30 minute Express Facial,
and as our Valentine’s gift to you, a complimentary 15
minute foot reflex massage, to ensure that you leave feeling like
you’re walking on air.
Couples
indulging in this pampering treat together will be welcomed with
a sparkling glass of bubbly each on arrival, while ladies flying
solo will receive a red rose on departure – just our small
way of saying ‘Happy Valentine’s Day!’
