The treatments

The treatments at Bannisters Day Spa provide a sensory experience. Skilled therapists use the finest Eminence products to leave both body and mind relaxed and restored. Eminence provides a holistic approach to skincare and uses only the finest ingredients from Hungary, chosen specifically for their beautifying properties.

The extensive treatment menu ranges from soothing relaxation and remedial options to warming hot stone massages designed to melt away stress.

A selection of packages is available including The Pinnacle Experience — the ultimate day of indulgence. The Pinnacle Experience begins with a skin-stimulating full-body exfoliation and nourishing cocoon as well as time to unwind in a private steam room. You then rinse off under a tranquil rain shower to reveal luminous skin before a full-body thermal stamp massage. Finish off with a luxurious facial, manicure and pedicure to give you that head-to-toe glow.

Bannisters Day Spa’s range of facials is tailored to address each guest’s individual needs to leave skin looking and feeling radiant. Expert therapists will discuss your skincare requirements during a skin analysis before performing a sublime facial tailored to you. Bannisters Express Facial will energise your skin leaving it toned and exfoliated as well as moisturised and radiant. The Bannisters Signature Facial is a customised treatment created to energise and restore balance to your skin and leave you glowing. Or you can go all the way with a Pinnacle Facial, combining the customised Bannisters Signature Facial with an eye treatment to minimise fine lines and reduce puffiness, a mind-melting scalp massage and a deeply nourishing foot massage.

Manicures at Bannisters are a luxurious experience that includes exfoliation, cocoon and a relaxing hand and arm massage to leave skin smooth and soft.
