Get away for a day
Bet you didn’t know that getting blitzed with the girls could be healthy and inexpensive? Centrally located and surrounded by hip restaurants, body blitz is the country’s first authentic water spa for women. For under $50 you can spend the day luxuriating in the spa’s therapeutic waters catching up with the girls. The water circuit starts with a soak in the warm sea salt pool, which contains unrefined Dead Sea salt to soothe the skin, relieve joint and muscle pain and supply the body with vital nutrients. Step two is a steam to eliminate toxins and impurities, then a brief stint in the cold plunge pool to close the pores and help stimulate thyroid. You continue on to the infrared sauna for more detoxification before another plunge in the cold pool. The circuit is completed with a soak in the hot green tea pool, which has anti-aging benefits and helps boost the immune system, another cold plunge and an additional soak in the sea salt pool. Take a break mid-circuit and enjoy a nutritious refreshment from the in-house juice bar on one of the poolside lounge chairs. Towels, robes, sandals, toiletries and lockers are provided by the spa. Bathing suits are optional. The only rules are those conducive to a stress-free urban escape – no waiting, no tipping and no men. Hallelujah!
