Paua Spa at Centre Stage

In a city that is overflowing with mediocre foot reflexology and massage parlours, it is often hard to find a straight up, simple, honest, non-gimmicky spa. Paua is one of the groups who beg to differ. Priding themselves on service and comfort, their five high-quality spas include state-of-the-art treatments, tranquilising décor and design, plus experienced therapists all trained by their own affiliated academy. In essence, they have pampering down to a science.  

Their latest spa effortlessly follows suit. Fittingly located at the CentreStage boutique apartments, this is one of their best yet. Combining innovative technology with tranquilizing décor, they have managed to create a spa that is worth visiting both for the treatments and the venue. A comfortably accommodating 4’000 square-feet is decked out with stylish lighting fixtures, funky murals, and refreshing touches of timber and wood. Six spacious treatment rooms (including an alluring couple’s room) come complete with features such as the body-contoured double Jacuzzi, the naturalistic colour-therapy lit glass-fronted steam/rain showers, and other modish branded bathroom fixtures. There is also a fireside-heated lounge, an open-air terrace (sadly, no al fresco treatments available), and a nail-bar with massaging pedicure thrones fit for a queen. This is place where therapeutic restoration takes centre stage.

The selection of blissful treatments on hand include reviving facials, nourishing body therapies as well as various manicure and pedicure regimes. All the treatments incorporate first-rate natural products from Elemis or Murad. For pollution-infested skin try out the remedial Environmental Shield Vitamin C Facial which will leave your face glisteningly clean. Or if you want a real treat spoil yourself with the Paua Half Day Pamper which includes a luxury bath, a steam, exotic scrubs, a massage and a facial – three and a half hours of complete tranquillity.
