Pamper and rejuvenate at the Ayush Wellness Spa

Laura Morel enjoyed an afternoon at the Ayush Wellness Spa for some much needed R&R.

On a dark and dreary February day, there was little of my usual enthusiasm left towards beinganislander.Ilonged for instant transportation to foreign climates, the relaxation of being on holiday and the joy of feeling sun-kissed (or even just kissed!) Thankfully there is a place of solace on this small island for those winter blues, in the form of Ayush Wellness Spa at the Hotel de France, where you feel completely removed from the daily toils of life, utterly relaxed and deservedly pampered.

Offering Ayurvedic treatments at the Spa, their team of therapists look to not only revitalise your body, but to restore balance to your body, mind, spirit and well-being. The Spa is designed precisely to be an escape from it all, reflecting elements of nature is its design but leaving the weather firmly at the door! My body was in desperate need of a reset, while my mind longed to break free from the melancholy of current climates with a restorative package of treatments.

As you climb the stairs to the Spa’s treatment rooms you are struck by how open and spacious the layout is. Instead of dark and confined, these rooms are light and airy, perfect for breaking free and just letting it all go. Countless recommendations told me that this was the place to try something new. So I let the Spa’s team of experts guide me to the best treatment for my tired body, matching my body’s desires with a choice of oils to achieve balance and to treat the senses.

As I tried my first ever body scrub and envelopment, I felt a sense of warm and calm wash over me, along with a desire never to leave this treatment room and the cocoon of peace and nourishment I had been placed in. It took my last bit of strength to wash the scrub from my body, feeling my worries melt down the drain with the warm water.

With fresh and glowing skin, my body was then coaxed free of niggles and stresses with a personalised massage, and without even noticing my mind began to relax and wander. In the bamboo lined rooms it’s easy to day dream, hearing birds tweet subtly behind soothing music you can almost feel the seasons begin to change. As my treatment was finished with a soothing and refreshing facial, I felt rejuvenated and replenished, my energy restored and resolve to soldier on renewed.

Your spa experience is not over once the treatment is finished as I was led to the relaxation room to reflect quietly, sipping on herbal tea whilst summoning the energy to return to the cold and stark reality of the outside world once more. Too soon to return? Then you are free to wander down to the sauna, pool and jacuzzi, or browse the spa brochure to explore your next escape. 
