Perched on the top of a cliff, overlooking the Southern Ocean is a small building of tranquility and bliss. The Southern Spa, exclusive to guests at the Southern Ocean Lodge, offers a fairly size able listing of spa services.
Because of its scale, some of the more upper end indulgences that you may be wanting from a day spa and not possible, but if a great massage, facial or body service is wanted, you will be well taken care of.
There are only a handful of employees here but you wouldn't know that other than you may be greeted by the same person who does your massage. The changing room has a couple of lockers in it as well as a shower, high end, great smelling soaps and lotions, and towels. There is also a small steam room for your use. Because of its small size, there are not private facilities for men and women so know that you may be waiting in your plush robe with others.
Like everything else at this resort, the prices are all inclusive so you are not asked to tip up at the end of your service. And since they can put it on your room charge, when you are finished, you just exit and walk back down the boardwalk, admiring the view around you and wishing it had more time to spend relaxing.
They do have a 5 hour cancellation policy and again, given the small scale this operates on, be sure to schedule your treatments when you arrive so that you can get the times that you want.
All in all, a very nice experience during my stay at the Southern Ocean Lodge. read more
