It’s All Just a Little Bit Fishy!

I wasn’t sure what to think as I dipped my feet into the tepid water full of tiny little fish that immediately “attacked” my toes and ankles.  As quickly as I put them in the tank, I whisked them right out, took a breath and thought “heck, they’re only tiny little fish that want to [...]


Do you have Glambition?

If you don’t yet, you will soon!
We hosted our launch party for our new brand – Glambition – last week.  The event was held at Citi Studio in London and was a huge success (if I do say so myself!).  It was such fun to get folks together from various industries – we had medi-spa [...]


Cotswold Spa Hits the Spot

While Kevin was busy experiencing the sights, sounds and spas of Tokyo during the annual Leading Hotels of the World Conference (SpaFinder has the pleasure of being invited to this impressive get together every year as a strategic partner of Leading Spas of the World), I decided to take some time off  to visit a [...]


Hawaiian Delight – Boot Camp on Big Island

Not long ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Hawaii (the Big Island), one of my most favourite locations on this fine earth we dwell upon.  It’s one of those places that make you feel in touch with every spiritual and physical aspect of your being.  You can’t help but feel engaged and switched on [...]


Birthday Spa Treat at The Sanctuary, Covent Garden

Nothing really beats a spa celebration (a growing trend we are seeing here at SpaFinder), especially when the champagne is flowing and the  ambiance literally forces you to “chillax”.  I was lucky enough to visit The Sanctuary in Covent Garden last week for just such a day.  It did the trick – leaving me feeling [...]


SO Spa, So wonderful…

If you’re anywhere near London, I would strongly suggest and immediate visit to the newly opened So SPA at the Sofitel St. James.  Housed in a glorious building, the So SPA is uniquely French and uniquely good.  They has somehow transformed an old bank into an oasis of relaxation and beauty – and have done [...]

But that’s after we stay at Bagni di Pisa Medical Spa Resort – the last stop on our Tuscany spa sojourn. Bagni di Pisa is right on trend with its combining of medical and spa tourism. Its [...]


Spa-Tacular Tuscany. Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort

By this point in the trip, we were completely smitten by Tuscany… and this was reinforced by a stop-over in Pitigliano. This was like stepping back into the Middle Ages – it’s a fairy tale town built on high tufa cliffs (for protection) and can trace a long history from pre-historic Etruscan times, through the [...]

Another drive through the beautiful Tuscan countryside to San Casciano dei Bagni and we arrive at Fonteverde – one of the most famous Italian spas and a consistent award winner, including ‘Best Spa in Italy’ in last year’s SpaFinder Readers’ Choice Awards!
This hot spot had to be on our itinerary.
Spread over 5 acres and featuring [...]


Tuscany: Reasons to be cheerful – Borgo la Bagnaia

Tuscany … so much to see! We are doing this Tuscan spa adventure in bite-sized spa chunks – so no Florence, or Siena…. this time! Heading due south we stop off at San Gimignano, see Siena from a distance, and arrive at our destination – Borgo la Bagnaia in good time. This was a small [...]
