Spas as Social Centers
Spa experiences are very much about touching and this will always be important. Part of the fun of some spas, is that they can create areas that are wonderful self-service “spa playgrounds.” Spa guests can pay a “healthy” daily fee to use facilities that will be attended by several “spa concierges” who will introduce them to a buffet of fun yet purposeful delights
The Grotto at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa, has created a sampling of what this experience may be. When you arrive, you take an elevator down to the underground world of The Grotto. This mysterious, intriguing cavern is filled with a natural mineral water mist and the scent of sea kelp and aloe vera. You wear only a swim suit so your entire body can be “painted” with a rich green body moisturizer (the source of the sea kelp and aloe vera scent). Then move into the Hydrating Chamber so the rich moisturizer can work its magic. After you feel calm, cool and moisturized, simply shower off the body masque. To top it all off, enter the cool mist chamber for a cup of Glen Ivy tea and a crisp green apple. Like Club Mud, there is something fun and youthful about it all. And, there is also the more serious business of moisturizing and refreshing.

Spas will expand their offerings to include life-enriching seminars and programs that focus on activities such as wine tasting, art, music, cooking, pain management, and healthy aging.
