SPAIN Marbella Club Luxuriate in the benefits of a genuine thalassotherapy treatment with seawater, mud and minerals: a scent and sound immersion. Smell Exotic, opulent and enticing are the scents surrounding any spa experience. Night- scented jasmine, lavender, patchouli, neroli, frankincense, bergamot and basil, geranium and ginger – the influence of fragrance is everywhere in a spa and is the essence of aromatherapy which is used throughout massages, wraps and facials. It is omni- present in the oil lamps burning and the candles decorating the rooms. It is like being cocooned in a magical garden. Sound Relax to the gentler sounds of life – the whisper of leaves through foliage, waves breaking on the beach, fountains dancing on still pools. Add to that the ancient wisdoms employed in many spa therapies: Tibetan singing bowls to harness the body’s own vibrations, Buddhist chants to encourage relaxation and mindfulness, underwater music to help repose in watsu. And then of course there is the sound of silence, the most healing of all. Taste Tastebuds tingle as you bite into the crispness of a newly harvested salad and enjoy the lushness of exotic fruit juices and smoothies concocted from pomegranate, papaya, peach and mango. Savour the spices and fresh herbs used to flavour the soups and savouries, relish the seeds, nut and oils abundant in the healthy dishes on offer, refresh between treatments with a choice of teas from mint to lemongrass, camomile to rooibos and finally relax with a glass of sparkling Champagne.
