Hand to Soles

By Jenny Starr Perez

Our hands and feet, the unsung heroes of our daily lives, carry us through every handshake, every step, and every rush-hour commute. It’s about time we gave these loyal servants the royal treatment they deserve, isn’t it? Enter the sanctuary of Acqualina Spa, where the new Reviving Massage for Hands & Feet turns a routine pampering into a transcendent escape for the parts of us that work the hardest.

This 50-minute session is a deluxe journey tailored by Spa Director Catherine Davalle to reinvigorate your weary extremities. The experience begins with a soothing hand massage that integrates a warm paraffin treatment, melting away the knots of daily stresses and deeply hydrating the skin. As the warmth envelops your hands, any lingering tension dissolves, replaced by a comforting ease.

The pampering continues as attention shifts to your feet. Here, the innovative Hypervolt device works its magic, offering percussion therapy that vibrates through the soles, alleviating fatigue and enhancing blood circulation. It’s like a symphony for your feet, each note striking just the right spot to soothe and rejuvenate. After the Hypervolt has thoroughly loosened tight muscles, the therapist’s skilled hands take over, expertly targeting key pressure points to release deeper tension. Using precise strokes and firm yet gentle pressure, the therapist addresses areas of tightness, bringing profound relaxation. Each movement brings a renewed sense of relaxation and vitality, leaving your feet completely invigorated.

And the pièce de résistance? The luxurious Seed to Skin Tuscany massage candle oil is drizzled over your skin, its rich, nourishing blend leaving your hands and feet feeling not just refreshed, but utterly indulged. This exquisite oil, part of the meticulously curated amenities now included in-room, captures the essence of Tuscany’s lush landscapes and artisanal heritage in every drop.

For those seeking an extended escape, the 80-minute treatment includes a paraffin foot treatment and concludes with a scalp, neck, and shoulder massage that melts away any lingering stress.

Beyond the massage table, the spa experience at Acqualina continues to enchant. Wrapped in plush robes, guests can wander through our expansive facilities, from the crystal steam rooms and saunas adorned with Himalayan salt walls to the tranquil relaxation lounges, each offering a variety of snacks and teas. The outdoor veranda, with its heated swimming pool and jacuzzi complete with a Roman waterfall, makes for a perfect post-treatment retreat.

This treatment is a heartfelt celebration of the parts of us that offer so much yet ask for so little in return. So why not give your hands and feet a vacation they’ll never forget? After all, in the hustle and bustle of life, taking a moment to thank those who carry us through can make all the difference.
