Services
Swedish Massage
This classic massage technique uses light to medium pressure to improve circulation and relieve stress. Ideal for first-time clients, it combines long strokes and kneading movements to promote overall relaxation while addressing specific tension points. Our therapists customize pressure levels to individual comfort preferences.
Custom Facial
Tailored skincare treatment begins with a professional analysis to determine your skin's unique needs. Using Babor products, we address concerns like aging, sensitivity, or texture irregularities through targeted cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing treatments that restore skin's natural radiance.
Dead Sea Mud Treatment
This therapeutic body treatment utilizes mineral-rich Dead Sea mud to draw out impurities and replenish skin nutrients. The process includes warm compresses, mud massage, and mylar wrap therapy followed by a soothing shower and moisturizing application to enhance skin texture and hydration.
Brazilian Wax
Professional hair removal using Berodin blue hard wax that targets hair as short as 1/16th inch. This gentle method adheres only to hair follicles, minimizing discomfort while providing longer-lasting results compared to traditional waxing techniques through precise application and removal.
Pure Heaven Package
Comprehensive spa experience combining massage, facial, and body treatments for complete rejuvenation. Includes personalized massage, custom facial, full-body exfoliation, Dead Sea mud treatment, and light lunch in a private setting designed to maximize relaxation and renewal.
