Taking time out for wellness


REVIEW: GAIA SPA


AMANDA BISHOP, Former Editor of Chamber Profile for Devon Chamber of Commerce, visited the South West’s newest five star spa in October. Gaia Spa opened at Boringdon Hall, Plymouth this autumn and has established itself as Devon’s premier luxury spa destination. It’s the largest spa opening in the country this year.


With a focus on high quality, Gaia aims to give people time to be away from their usual surroundings, to take time to switch off and to get back to nature. From the moment you arrive at Gaia you will be


encouraged to take time to relax and focus on your individual wellness needs, providing a perfect opportunity to switch off your phone, take your mind away from your inbox and enjoy the luxury of time. Gaia’s facilities include an indoor infinity pool and a


hydrotherapy pool with an outdoor swim through, to enable you to enjoy the countryside views from the warmth of the heated pool. To help you unwind further Gaia offers a number of varying heat experiences from


steam rooms to saunas (including the impressive Crystal salt steam room) each catering to a different need or mood. With an on-site gym and spatisserie serving delicious food the experience is one of total absorption, providing an escape from the every day. Whether you have a few hours or a full day the environment promises the opportunity to unwind and enter into a state of total relaxation. Amanda said: “Having spent just a few hours in the


spa I felt relaxed, rejuvenated and ready for the working week ahead. Gaia Spa is named after Gaia, the ancient goddess of nature, a healing goddess and this feeling feeds through the spa facilities.
