For those who want nothing but the best, La Residencia in Mallorca is the place to go. This luxury hotel has been named one of the best hotels in world many times over by multiple media sources. It also includes one of the best restaurant's in Spain, according to Travel + Leisure. And, as would be expected, Travel + Leisure also named La Residencia's spa one of the finest in the country and a contender for the title of best in the world. La Residencia is nothing short of fabulous, the perfect getaway location for the luxury-minded guest.
Location La Residencia is tucked away in the highlands on the island of Mallorca, a Spanish isle in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. Far from the bustling city of Palma, the main tourist attraction on Mallorca, La Residencia calls the town of Deia home. Deia is known as an artists' haven, and over the years it has been host to many prominent painters and writers, including poet and novelist Robert Graves. The hotel maintains an amazing gallery of work from artists who have lived in the vicinity.
All guests at the hotel should experience the wonders of its acclaimed spa. The Spa at Le Residencia is just a stone's throw from the Mediterranean, and it offers fantastic views of the water and the fabulous gardens surrounding the hotel. Some treatments can be performed al fresco, which provides another layer to the magical feeling of the area.
Services La Residencia's spa offers guests their choice of beauty treatments, facials, body treatments, massages, and alternative remedies. All of the categories of services contain a number of perfected classics and a few unique options. For example, massage choices include many traditional treatments, like a classic Swedish massage with an addition of aromatherapy. But there is also a hot and cold stone therapy massage, which is a unique twist on the traditional hot stone treatment. Add an Earth Oxygen Breathe addition to any massage for another special element; the add on lets guests inhale 95 percent oxygen vapor, which helps de-stress and clarifies the mind.
The spa's interesting assortment of alternative remedies gives guests a chance to experience some of the most unique offerings found on the island. The Thermal-Hydro Color Experience, for example, promotes relaxation by setting guests adrift on a floating couch. Colors are changed to induce calm, and the guest is treated to a delectable hand, foot and scalp massage during the process. The service is divine, and it can't be found anywhere else on Mallorca.
The Spa at La Residencia also provides a line of treatments called Pure Indulgence, luxury services using the latest in technology and ultra-posh products. The Diamond Magnetic service, for instance, uses magnet technology to clean the skin and purify the body.
Amenities The Spa at La Residencia features an indoor pool, two outdoor pools, a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and gym. The six treatment rooms at the spa are all artfully decorated, and three of them have outdoor massage areas. All in all, the little extras at the spa make it an ideal place to spend a lazy afternoon. Enjoy a treatment and then spend hours resting by the pool.
Specialties Although all of the treatments at the spa are very good, customers interested in trying something different should look into the facility's line of alternative treatments. Aura-Soma Consultation is an especially exciting option, and it happens to be the only such therapy in Spain. The treatment is a means to increase self awareness. During the session, participants choose four colored bottles from 105 options. Then, a consultant explains how each choice reveals something about the client's character. It is an eye-opening experience, and one that can't be found anywhere else in Spain.
