The pursuit of a healthy, balanced body and mind can feel all the more elusive in a fast-paced, digitally connected and stressful world. At Sparkling Hill, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to disconnect from the world and reconnect with themselves. Here’s why you need a wellness resort on your bucket list.
What to Expect from a Wellness Resort
Wellness is defined as ‘the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal.’ At Sparkling Hill, our aim is for guests to have a truly relaxing and rejuvenating stay. That can mean many things, from a detox from digital devices, more quite time & serenity, and a better night’s sleep. The foundation of our wellness resort is European-inspired approach to health and wellbeing, and our wellness retreats integrate the best traditional European health spa treatments and holistic clinic services.
Wellness resorts often go hand-in-hand with wellness retreats, though you may find that some resorts offer day-use access. At Sparkling Hill, our KurSpa facilities can only be used by guests staying overnight, which enables all guests to settle into a more a relaxed state of being.
Must-Try Experiences at a Spa Resort
Put simply… eat, sleep, spa, repeat! Here are some health & wellness experiences that we recommend when staying at Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa:
- Book at spa treatment: Our KurSpa offers over 100 spa treatments and it’s the easiest way to slip into your wellness state. We love the Crystal Rain treatment, which uses nine essential oils to relax stressed muscles and reduce inflammation.
- Give yourself the silent treatment: Our Serenity room is a silent space which allows for total quiet-time. Relax and unwind on one of our loungers and take in the glorious mountain view.
- Meet with a wellness specialist: As part of our team of in-house wellness professionals. our Wellness Architect Dr. Pieter Strauss has decades of experience in clinical psychiatry and brings a profound understanding of human psychology to Sparkling Hill’s wellness programs.
- Get comfortable with cold: If our Igloo isn’t cool enough for you, try the -110 degree Cyro Cold Chamber, which gives the nervous and circulatory systems a boost.
- Hydrotherapy: Our spa’s name, KurSpa, blends the German word for ‘healing’ and the Latin word for ‘water’, epitomizing our philosophy of ‘healing with water’. Our Kneipp Hydrotherapy uses thermo-therapy to cause the blood vessels to expand and contract, stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems while reducing swelling and inflammation.
