By Chris Boyle

BLISS

Discover a world of relaxation, rejuvenation and beauty at these fabulous spas

HOLIDAY CLUB SPA AND WELLNESS

Treatment and facilities: A fantastic spa facility located at the Sokos Hotel Palace Bridge, the Holiday Club Spa and Wellness will provide everything for the elite traveler.

Each floor of the spa offers something different, and the first floor hosts a beauty salon that has a multitude of facial care programs and includes a cosmetics store and visage studio. The second floor is home to the Aqua Zone, which boasts a stunning swimming pool in the style of an Ancient Roman bath, in addition to three hydro-massage pools, sensation showers and a whirlpool. The impressive size of the Aqua Zone continues with eight saunas, including a Turkish hammam, Finnish Sauna and a Russian Bath. Although skincare is the spa’s forte, the Holiday Club Spa and Wellness also offers a full fitness gym on the top-floor for those looking to keep in shape. Signature treatment: Deep Blue Bora-Bora Massage. This deep and relaxing massage uses seawater products exclusively created by Algotherm and includes a sugar scrub, massage with seaweed purses and a variety of massage movements from around the world. La Sultan de Saba is also a wonderful treatment in Hammam which includes a soap massage, scrubbing with a Kessa glove, and a sensual massage with a Rassul rose and a body massage.

 

PLANET HEALTH CLUB AND BEAUTY ROOM

Treatment and facilities: For the ultimate pampering experience, stop in at the Planet Health Club and Beauty Room, located on the hotel’s Mezzanine Café level.

Planet Fitness is equipped with the latest exercise equipment, as well as a sauna and plunge pool for unwinding post-workout.

The Beauty Room, a full-service salon and spa, boasts a barber, tanning and massage rooms, and a full range of indulgent services. In addition to classic European treatments, you’ll find exotic Balinese offerings such as the Jamu Yava, which uses a volcanic ash body mask to purify and tone the body; a Javanese coffee and coconut scrub and a jasmine and nutmeg bath. The spa provides guests with a stress-free sanctuary to relax and revitalize. Signature treatment: The Pleasure spa-ceremony.

SAUN CLUB

Treatment and facilities: The Russian banya is a traditional style of sauna that dates back hundreds of years involving a steam sauna and ‘whisk bathing’, in which guests are lightly stroked with bunches of dried leaves and branches called a venik, a process designed to improve the blood circulation.

These uniquely Russian experiences are available at the Saun Club; one of the premier spas in St Petersburg. The club is available for hire for a completely private experience, and the helpful staff will go to great lengths to ensure that everything is to your satisfaction. The club also offers more traditional types of massage and saunas, as well as a large pool and Jacuzzi. In order to secure a private session advanced booking is recommended. Special treatment: Traditional Russian banya with whisk bathing.
