 Spa hotel is just the component of spa services in the range
of the highest category. Historically the spa service dates back the town Spa
in Belgium as the basic place. The point is that the local mineral sources were
known for their healing capacities and even the ancient Roman authors mentioned
them. Later on during the Medieval epoch Spa became popular again and famous
and wealthy people used to arrive to the place to improve health and
rejuvenate. With the lapse of
time Spa turned into the fist resort of modern type while the name of the town
was associated with aqua therapeutic procedures. Currently SPA is the complex
of rejuvenation procedures with mineral or sea water used to heal, various healing
herbs, salts and muds.
Though,
today if you want to have SPA procedures you do not have to go to resorts with
natural sources of mineral water, therapeutic mud and others. In modern
interpretation SPA is the whole industry with various establishments and
programs on rejuvenation and healing of organism. SPA complex may include sauna
(as well as steam bath, bio-sauna, ice holes); various whirlpool procedures; special
fitness exercises; cosmetic procedures (face and body massage, baths with
special fillings, etc) and even special yoga exercises. Apart from specialized
SPA clinics the complex of above procedures are provided by SPA hotels, either.
SPA hotels are ordinary hotels four stars and above though
providing appropriate rejuvenating services. Almost all SPA hotels are included
in the network of specialized SPA hotels and by the present they are not
connected to the particular part of world or particular climatic conditions. The hotel owner combines the treatment rooms
with hotel servicing. One of the advantages of spa hotels is that a guest after
having spa procedure is welcome to go to hi room and relax instead of taking a
vehicle and travel to the place of stay.
SPA hotels differ from the resorts in the way they
provide the opportunity to stay and have resort therapeutic procedures wherever
the person is happened to appear.
There are several SPA hotels located in places regularly
visited by tourists and in non-resort places, in contrast.
So, the Greek hotel «Atrium Palace» is located on the famous
Rhodus Island. This is the SPA hotel f the secondary purpose. Preliminary the
building was designed as the ordinary hotel and the rejuvenation and vocational
department was constructed later, in 2004. The hotel owners were stoke with the
idea to use the geographical location and use the sea spread in the
neighborhood and the sea water became the basic attribute of local SPA
procedures. The most demanded procedures include the underwater massage, toning
face mask from marine algae, as well as the special toning moisturizing
massage. The oil treatment adds a entwine to the list of body treatments and
the marine algae therapy is helpful to speed up the metabolism and boost
circulation. It will take you 100 Euros
per day to enjoy the sea and island landscapes if you have an ordinary room and
luxe class room will cost 250 Euros. A
mini- villa will be at your disposal for 600 Euros a day and all the SPA
procedures are paid separately from the stay fee.
The hotel «Ayurveda Pavillions» in the Sri-Lanka Island not
far away from the South sore of India was intended as the special SPA hotel and
was opened or visitors in 2003.
In this particular case the SPA reveals the link of the
establishment with the water principles to the least extent. The point is that
the base of the health-improving concept that is offered at «Ayurveda
Pavillions» includes the Indian national tradition with the thousand-year
history called ayurveda. The aqua procedures do not matter
here, they are used at the least extent. The major accent is done at
various types of healing massages (from massage of feet to massage of head), at
meditative exercises, use of yoga complex and the health-improving diet.
«Ayurveda Pavillions» provides services more as a resort than a SPA hotel in
its classic interpretation. The
special therapeutic programs are developed here which may last from three days
to three weeks. Moreover, it is not the hotel of the appropriate
understanding. This is the complex of separate cottages with the stay fee of
350 US dollars per person per day. The advantage is that all health-improving
procedures are included in the fee.
The Irish hotel «Brook Lodge» has fairly different
specialization. Traditional sea resorts are impossible to develop due to
geographic and climatic conditions, though the hotel does perfectly without it.
The hotel owners made the accent on the quite Irish village landscapes and
people arrive here not for medical indications but to rest from the urban fussy
life, permanent stress of speedy urban life and relax in nature to stay alone
with own thoughts. In the meantime the hotel can boast with the mega modern
equipment and interior inside with all conveniences and technical services like
satellite TV and Internet. As or he SA procedures, the hotel is specialized in mud
therapy offering various mud baths, wrapping procedures, scrubbing procedures. The
services provided by the hotel are not limited in the above procedures. The
Finn or Turkish bathhouses, massage room and the swimming pool are at the
disposal of guests who just want to relax. A day in the ideal Irish place will
cost you from 130 to 250 Euros per person.
These hotels are the perfect example to see that SPA hotels
can offer various procedures and services considering geographic, national or
marketing peculiarities. They have the general feature that the guests are
provided with complexes o health-improving procedures called SPA services
throughout the world.
