Spa'tastic new treatments at Aldemar's Thalasso Spas
You've survived 2011 - well almost - you're getting ready for the festive season with a list of new year's resolutions to follow. Why not treat yourself to a selfish week away next year and try some of the fantastic new treatments at Aldemar's Thalasso spas in Crete or the west Peloponnese?
Aldemar Hotels feature two award winning Thalasso spa centres, one at the 5* Royal Mare on the charming island of Crete and the other at the 5* Royal Olympian on the mainland in the west Peloponnese. Both Thalasso spas offer a plethora of treatments, a la carte or in pre-planned programmes and for 2012 have introduced the following new treatments:
Odyssee Anti-age (55 minutes for €90) - a completely new anti-ageing solution for the body, created by Thal'ion. This treatment, highly concentrated in marine AHA ingredients, stimulates cell renewal to make skin look visibly younger. The treatment combines firming and lifting actions to strengthen the elasticity of the tissue and to restore the skin's tone and firmness.
Oriental Massage (55 minutes for €88) - a relaxing body massage using a special oil of sesame, argan and spiruline, designed to eliminate toxins from the body leaving the skin soft and tender.
Lift Absolu (55 minutes for €90) - a new intensive, anti-ageing solution to combat wrinkles and sagging skin using a customized restructuring massage to help the complexion recover its radiance.
Life 6® 'Face-lift' (55 minutes for €80) - a magic 'work-out' to restore firmness and elasticity of the facial area and contour of the eyes, and reduce expression lines (this treatment is only available at the Royal Mare Thalasso centre in Crete).
