Wellness program
Shalai's spa is an intimate, cosy setting for a couple or a small group of friends. Tailored and focused, Shalai's spa has all the amenities that make the difference. The program includes a sauna, Turkish bath and a saltwater hot tub. It lasts one hour, during which guests are offered a relaxing herbal tea. You will immediately feel a sense of well-being, especially after your time in the sauna and the Turkish bath, which work to eliminate toxins. The salt water in the hot tub is good for your skin because it hydrates the body, as opposed to chlorine. Finally, the relaxing herbal tea will give that ultimate, relaxing touch. The spa staff will offer you the menu with herbal teas, from which you can pick according to your tastes and desired effects.
Body treatments
All treatments are carried out with Comfort Zone products. We suggest the Sleeping Ritual with the product line called Tranquillity. It is a treatment recommended to alleviate the effects of jet lag; it is a relaxing treatment that helps rebalance your sleep. The massages are done using brushes soaked in essential oils. The body is brushed to release a sense of tranquillity and pleasure. The salt massage is done with Himalayan pink salt cakes and has an exfoliating effect. Next is a pink salt pack, also from the Himalayas, which will be cleansed with the use of hot towels. The last step is a full-body massage with moisturizing cream. This is one of the most comprehensive and relaxing treatments offered, and it lasts 90 minutes.
Facial treatments
You can choose an anti-ageing treatment, which includes cleansing, a massage and masks; the facial treatment with the Remedy product line is recommended for sensitive skin. Here, too, we will proceed with cleansing, massage and face masks. Facial cleansing is carried out with the Essential line, and follows the 3 important phases of cleansing, massaging and applying face masks. Also in high demand you can find the Montalcino thermal water mud pack, which is a detoxing and anti-cellulitis treatment, it helps improve skin blemishes, stimulates lipolysis and accelerates the elimination of toxins.
Another option is the Express Wrap, which drains and improves lymphatic microcirculation and is ideal for legs that are weighed down by cellulitis.
