BLUE LAGOON GEOTHERMAL SPA
The Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa located 40 minutes from Reykjavik, Iceland was recently voted as the best medical spa worldwide by the readers of Conde Naste Traveller. The volcanic lagoon, complete with a geothermal beach, lava caves and silica mud is located in the region's lava fields and holds up to six million litres of geothermal seawater, originating from 6,562 ft. below.

The mineral rich water is mixed with coccoid algae and filamentous algae (which helps to revitalize the skin's natural collagen production) as well as a rich concentration of minerals, silica, algae, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, to name a few. Visitors are able to treat themselves to a natural, white silica mud mask while basking in the warm milky blue waters, created by the mix of seawater and algae. The entire experience is said to be one of the most relaxing and invigorating spa experiences available. Three words come to mind . . . exotic, mystical, delightful.

BORAH HERB WRAP / SORE MUSCLE RELIEF
This two hour treatment originates in the Balinese farmer's culture, which is dependent upon making sure the land's keepers and harvesters remain strong and healthy. Aching muscles are treated with a warm paste (borah) herb wrap consisting of "cloves, ginger, black and white pepper, sandalwood, cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in a rice-based powder." The client is wrapped in a warm blanket for approximately 40 minutes while the attending therapist massages the head and scalp for the entire duration of the treatment. A warm bath laden with flowers achieves another level of relaxation, followed by a one hour Balinese massage.

A rainforest botanical extravaganza in an awe inspired setting that kick-starts a natural process of relaxation while the beauty professionals go to work to cleanse, tone and hydrate the skin. Radiance . . . rainforest style.
