THE SPA AT GLENEAGLES VOTED TOP IN READER AWARDS
The Spa at Gleneagles® by ESPA has received two accolades in Zest Magazine Spa Awards, winning in the Best for Outdoor Activity Lovers category and also taking the Overall Winner of 2010 honour. The Spa at Gleneagles saw off strong competition from a selection of shortlisted luxury properties in the UK and Ireland, which included The Grove, Chewton Glen and The Dorchester.
Jamie Pagan, Gleneagles' Spa Director commented;
“We are all thrilled to win, particularly because these awards are voted for by the readers and it has also been an extremely busy year for the team here. I am delighted that everyone’s hard work has been acknowledged with this recognition.”
Set within an 850 acre resort in Perthshire, Gleneagles is the perfect setting for one of the most luxurious destination spas in the world. In addition to the award-winning spa, Gleneagles offers an array of other activities from three 18-hole championship golf courses, off-road driving, shooting, fishing, falconry, horse riding and the world’s first Gundog School.
Gleneagles’ signature treatment, The Source, uses local ingredients from the fresh waters and rolling hills of Perthshire. A revitalizing and rebalancing holistic experience, the treatment begins with a calming footbath in which local, river-washed stones are used to stimulate reflex points on the feet. A full body exfoliation follows, preparing the body for a deeper level of relaxation. Tired muscles are then warmed using a muslin-wrapped herbal poultice made of lavender, rosemary, oats and elderflower gathered from the surrounding countryside. The ritual continues with a purifying body massage, and concludes with a tension relieving scalp massage.
