The philosophy here at the Rock Crystal Spa is to provide our guests with an escape from the stresses of every day life. Its a place where you can indulge in tranquil surroundings allowing you to relax, revitalize and reinvigorate your mind & body.
The Spa involves all of the senses, with extraordinary effects; through touch, smell, sight, hearing and taste, the effects of the treatment reach the most profound states of mind, and finally reach the fantastic level of relaxation. The Health Spa at Ballyliffin Crystal Rock Spa has chosen Uspa and Thalgo as our signature beauty lines.
The Balneo therapy bath features 150 jets and works on the lymphatic system for the ultimate in relaxation.
A Dry Floatation Tank uses Epsom salts underneath and minute vibration technology to calm the spirit. One hour lying on this advanced equipment is equivalent to six hours sleep! Passive immersion” is the professional term for this almost weightless experience which also has positive effects on thepsyche. A complete relaxation of the muscular system and the joints are the welcome results. It can be used as a means of relaxation on its own or combined with a range of body treatments, muds and wraps.
This system combines the advantages of unlimited heat source and relaxation of the waterbed base and the intensive effect of the wrap or body treatment.
In the Dry Flotation System you do not come into direct contact with the water, but are wrapped in a thin membrane which adjusts to the shape of the body due to the water pressure. Between the body and the membrane the absorption rate and efficacy of the undiluted product applied to the skin is increased. The combination of being enveloped in warmth and floating on a buoyant waterbed delivers a feeling of deep relaxation.
Beautifully finished with muted lighting, candle-lit corridors and tranquil rooms, the spa is a must for de-stressing and pampering and to escape today's hectic lifestyle. It offers everything from beauty and relaxation to full massage and sophisticated treatment regimes.
And for the more energetic - a full range of classes are available from aqua aerobics to spin and step for all levels. Toning and working out is also well facilitated with a state of the art fitness suite/gym with multiple cardio vascular and free weight equipment complete with multi plasma screen wall.
