Spa Utopia's Signature and Hot Stone Massages

This week, we are featuring a special on the Utopia™ Hot Stone Massage and Utopia™ Signature Massage (which features a hot stone component).

These popular massages never fail to please spa guests, who leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated in both body and spirit.

Here's what you will enjoy:

Utopia™ Signature Massage
Available only at Spa Utopia, our Utopia™ Signature Massage comprises 75 minutes of pure bliss. Warm towels, hot stones made from natural basalt (a volcanic rock), gentle, soothing hands and a unique foot massage with rich shea butter are just a few of the pleasures awaiting you!  To further your pleasure and relaxation you may choose to use an aromatic oil. (Since many guests prefer a non-scented oil, we offer both.)

Utopia™ Hot Stone Massage
No longer just for the adventurous, the 75-minute Utopia™ Hot Stone Massage induces deep relaxation as the natural basalt stones are strategically placed on your body. Slip into peace and tranquility as your skilled therapist masterfully combines the warmed stones with gentle strokes to relax tense muscles and warm you to the core...

The use of hot stones as a thermal agent for therapeutic purposes dates back to Ayurvedic (Indian traditional) medicine, well over 5000 years ago. In Ayurveda and other traditional medicines, warmed stones are used as a source of healing energy, as they are believed to balance the chakras or energy centres and draw negativity from the body.

At Spa Utopia, the heated stones are first applied to strategic areas of the body associated with the chakras. The body is then systematically massaged with a heated stone. As with the Utopia™ Signature Massage, you may choose to be massaged with an aromatic oil, or one that is unscented.

At the conclusion of your Utopia™ Hot Stone Massage, you will feel deeply relaxed, yet energized, and ready to fully embrace the day ahead.
