Spas in Dublin
Culture shock can often prove confusing, and there’s no better way to make sure you wash away potential wrinkles than indulging in a trip to the spa in Dublin. Irish women came late to the spa business, but with roots based in the prim and the proper, they’ve taken to primping with gusto, and it’s even growing in popularity with the male of the species.
City centre spas in Dublin
The Buff Day Spa comes recommended from the popular Irish beauty blog Beaut.ie. You can pop in after work for a Mineral Treatment (only 30 minutes) or go for the full blowout with a Half Day Indulgence.
The Mandala Easter Retreat is an oasis of Asian luxury sure to bring back memories for expats moving here from Thailand or Indonesia. The Purifying Body scrub or Thai massage will soon straighten out those kinks, while Mandala Man offers facials with a masculine twist.
Sticking with the international theme, French Beauty offers the Brittany Mud Body Wrap and the Matisse Caviar Facial among their treatments.
Suburban spas in Dublin
La Spa Therapie caters to suburbanites in the northside beach area of Malahide and Howth. Promoting Kerstin Florin products, they also offer an Eminence day from 10am to 5:30pm if you really need to get away from it all.
Over on the southern end of the city, Day Dream offers a Champagne Diva Day to people with something to celebrate. Located in Ashbourne and Terenure, they also offer male favourites like chest waxing and a Muscle Melt Back Massage.
