Eco Spa Resort

Spas Going Green

An Eco spa resort will provide holistic therapies and use natural products, put a few have taken things one step further and are designated 'eco-spas'.

Eco-spas are a relatively new and emerging innovation. For their clients they offer treatments and therapies using only 'green' products made from natural sources and without any chemical enhancements. The treatments themselves will be holistic, and are often drawn from ancient Asian traditional remedies and methods, developed centuries ago in a time where man lived more in harmony with their surroundings than we do today.

But it doesn't stop there. A true eco spa resort will endeavor to go as green as possible, from using recycled paper to furnishings made only from sustainable sources, whilst retaining all the luxury and comfort one expects of a spa.

In Chatsworth, California, the Naya Fresh Body Spa became the first eco spa in the San Fernando Valley when opened its doors in June 2008.

Once inside those doors you will find everything you might expect of a luxury day spa, chic décor, opulent furnishings and sumptuous surroundings. What may not be so obvious is that the interior was designed using only natural and renewable materials including bamboo and stone, which feature throughout the premises.

Naya also keep their impact on the environment to a minimum by using only renewable energy resources, and keep the place sparkling using allergen free detergents and cleaners. Their entire range of organic treatment products are custom developed by their in-house apothecary, which is not only eco friendly but enables them to tailor products to suit each individual client.

Naya have managed to seamlessly blend luxurious and effective spa treatments that leave their clients refreshed and invigorated, with surroundings that respect and look after the environment.

Across the Atlantic in England, the Titanic Spa in Yorkshire recently became England's first eco spa. Inside this converted textile mill the guest will find the most contemporary, luxurious and stunning spa. Its facilities are fabulous and its treatments rival any at the top-flight luxury spas throughout the world. But from it's solar panels and salt water pool to the bore hole that supplies the water for it the Titanic is doing everything it can to become carbon neutral.
