As spas across the country once again reopen from the 2nd December, it’s the perfect time to book in for a last-minute pamper before Christmas. After a challenging year, we all deserve a special treat so why not treat yourself to an indulgent experience at The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel?
With the cold weather and darker evenings taking shape in the Winter seasons, my favourite spa experiences are warming treatments to leave you feeling cosy and warm inside.
Here are my top five warming treatments to experience this December:
Lavender Floatation
Perhaps my favourite experience at The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel, and our signature treatment, the lavender floatation is an intensive treatment to relax the mind and body. The floatation begins with a skin softening body exfoliation combined with powerful essential oils to leave skin feeling nourished, soft and supple. Guests are then wrapped in a nourishing wrap with healing lavender essential oils before relaxing in the warmth of the dry floatation where they can drift into a state of tranquillity.
Balinese massage with hot stones
Helping to melt away the stresses of 2020, this full body massage is the ultimate experience for relaxation and uses long, warming strokes to encourage complete calm and wellbeing.
Beginning the treatment, our expertly trained therapists will pour gently heated aromatherapy oils into the centre of the body and massage into the skin using sweeping movements for deep relaxation. Hot volcanic stones are used to tailor the massage pressure to each guests needs and release tension. After the indulgent massage, the mind, body and spirit will be left feeling soothed and relaxed – dreamy!
Rasul Experience
A great option for couples, the rasul experience immerses the senses and prepares the mind and body for an indulgent and relaxing spa experience. Guests can choose from a selection of nourishing muds which you can apply to the body and face. The humidity of the Rasul steam helps to soothe tense muscles before a warming shower washes away the mud to leave skin feeling smooth and the mind clear.
Lavender Poultice Massage
The poultice treatment is designed to give a calming and relaxing effect to the mind and body, achieved by the use of exfoliation and warm herbal poultices.
This will provide heat to the muscles and joints at the same time to increase circulation, our therapists will then deliver a purifying and rebalancing massage. To complete the experience, a warm, soothing compress infused with Lavender is then applied to create an overall feeling of wellbeing.
Back, face, scalp treatment with or without hot stones
Our hero treatment at Bedford Lodge, this ESPA experience is loved by all! Targeting three key areas, the back, face and scalp, this delivers triple results and the perfect treatment for those looking for specific effects. With a hot stone massage on the back, a personalised facial and a scalp massage, guests will be left feeling revived.
