HEALTH & BEAUTY Pamper yourself... “now and again, we all need to unwind and retreat from the pressures of everyday life” If you have a hectic lifestyle and a busy work schedule (and who doesn’t these days?) you must take time to unwind. At least that’s what your doctor will tell you. It might be walking or curling up with a book – or, like a growing number of women (and men), you might opt for the luxury of a pampering session. One location you should include on your list of pampering favourites is Melville Hall Hotel, which has recently invested heavily in creating the oasis they have named Utopia Spa. The quality and finish here is every bit as high as you’d expect to find in any major city spa on the 64 mainland. Utopia offers a wide range of treatments, from indulgent massages and de-toxifying body wraps to beautifying facials and holistic therapies, all designed to enhance that overall feeling of tranquillity and calm. Unlike most impersonal hotel spas, at Utopia, you will receive a personal and dedicated service from the minute you arrive. You can also make use of the hotel’s facilities which include fabulous dining in the Summer Hill restaurant with its health-conscious “traffic lighted” menus, Spa lunches which include fruit presses and smoothies, or simply relax in the Spa lounge or festival bar.
