Fistral Spa, Newquay Cornwall

Fistral Spa's facilities are second to none and it covets its reputation as one of the premiere hotel spas in Cornwall jealously.

Deciding in what order to make use of the facilities is probably the closest you will come to a stressful decision whilst there! To aid contemplation of this, there is a Relaxation Room which serves as a place to unwind before and after treatments. Refreshments on offer in the Relaxation Room include herbal teas, fresh water and fruit.

At the other end of the scale is the fitness suite, containing the latest equipment for a good cardiovascular workout. High-end AV equipment provides entertainment for those exercising and whilst many of us don't associate strenuous exercise with "pleasure" it is known to release feel-good endorphins which raise your mood and sense of well-being.

After exercise comes more sedate activity. Perhaps a dip in the swimming pool to freshen up or maybe a long soak in the jacuzzi. Other "passive" facilities include a sauna and steam room both of which offer benefits for tired muscles and leave you feeling refreshed afterwards.

Fistral Spa's changing facilities are modern and clean with lockers, hair driers and two power showers to freshen you up. If you're after refreshment, having visited the spa the Bay Bar upstairs sells a range of juices and smoothies as well as light snacks from midday.

Fistral Spa offers a very wide range of treatments. Describing them all would take all day! A few you might be interested in are:

SUPER ACTIVE REPAIRING AND RESTORING FACIAL - 1hr 25mins
This treatment aims to counter the damage done by harsh elements and products on the skin. Treatments rich in plant oils restore the skin's colour and moisture.

TOTAL HOLISTIC BODY CARE - 1hr 25mins
The name says it all - a very thorough treatment that refreshes the skin with total body brushing and exfoliation followed by de-stressing massage of the body, face and scalp.

AROMATHERAPY BACK, FACE AND SCALP WITH HOT AND COLD STONES - 1hr 50mins
A treatment of the back and face similar to the one above but with the addition of aromatherapy oils and Hot and Cold stones.

IMMACULATE MANICURE - 1 hour
Part of the "Finishing Touches" range of treatments on offer, this ultimate nail treatment offers long-lasting results.

I'd hate to give the impression that its just the ladies who benefit from Fistral Spa! Men suffer from stress too, after all, and the benefits of spa treatments feel equally good whether you are male or female.

Fistral Spa has developed some treatments especially with men in mind. These include:

SPORTS MASSAGE - 55mins
A popular treatment that requires advance booking, this massage focusses on problem areas prone to injury through sports and leaves you feeling re-energised and supple.

LIFESAVING BACK TREATMENT - 40mins
If you're one of the millions of men with a "dodgy back" this treatment can truly feel "lifesaving" as the muscles that you could never reach yourself (without dislocating something)are conditioned and relaxed.

QUIKSILVER TREATMENT - 55mins
Even hardened surfers enjoy this treatment but if you hit the surf hard, after a long break, you can find muscles you've forgotten about aching! This treatment deals with that or, with forward planning, prevents it.

Being a hotel spa, Fistral Spa works in partnership with The Bay Hotel, Newquay, to offer some pretty good deals combining accommodation and spa treatments.

Perhaps the most tempting of these is the Fistral Couples Escape which aims to create the perfect short getaway for couples to unwind in each others' company.

The Fistral Couples escape offers a romantic meal in the Bay Restaurant and a night in a sea-view room. Complimentary champagn and chocolates are laid on by the hotel.

During your stay, you and your partner can enjoy a foot massage and an Espa aromatherapy foot, back and face treatment simultaneously in the couples suite by candle light.

Prices for this package start from £250 per couple.

Fistral Spa offer some great winter treatment packages and gift ideas to treat and pamper your partner, family and friends. Whether you are treating yourself or marking some special occasion, it is worth checking out the latest Spa treatments and offers from Fistral Spa.
