Find your element with our new Spa Menu

We’re delighted to announce a stunning new approach to wellbeing with our innovative ‘spa menu’! This offers a personalised choice of treatments and therapies based around the five Chinese elements; wood, water, earth, metal and fire.

You’ll be invited to complete a questionnaire to pinpoint which element you have a natural affinity with. Relevant products are then used during your chosen experiences, which can include a full spa experience using combinations of our hot tub, plunge bool, barrel sauna and contemplation hut. Watch this space as we’re adding a fire pit and nature connection soon.

Our very own Dominic says “While some people will have a clear affinity, it’s also possible to mix and match from the menu, or even take part in a guided ‘journey’ of all five elements. For example, someone might start with a wood aromatherapy sauna experience, move to the fire pit for the fire connection, rest at the sacred stone circle representing earth, detox with a frankincense and gong cleanse for metal, and complete their journey with a cycle of hydrotherapy in the hot tub and plunge pool.”

We have so many options to choose from, with tailored sessions from 30 minutes to the two-hour Prescription Spa Journey. The full day Diamond Elemental Escape includes an extra treat, participating in one of Dominic’s amazing cocktail masterclasses before enjoying a hot tub session – complete with a bottle of prosecco.

Our therapies include massage, facials, body wraps and scrubs, plus Sekhem elemental balancing, a healing experience that improves self-connectivity and Sekhem crystal elemental balancing using crystals to bring balance.

As a bonus, our onsite bar restaurant Aquarius will be offering coordinating meal options for spa guests. “We’re finalising the ideas,” explains Dominic, “but ideas include a ‘water’ dish in the form of a really fresh salad with lots of cleansing lemon and ginger, whilst a ‘fire’ dish could be a spicy curry.” Sounds yummy!

Currently Wishes is the only spa in Devon to offer this particular range. Products are sourced from Elemental Herbology, a UK-based company that makes everything to order. The company’s ethos blends perfectly with ours, as it has the same commitment to supporting the environment, including using fully recyclable packaging and only making ethical and responsible skincare products.

Don’t forget, if you want to enjoy a longer retreat and wellbeing break at Wishes we have onsite accommodation available with a choice of cosy cabins plus new ensuite eco cabins due to open in late April (another watch this space moment!).

Please do contact us for more info, we’ll be happy to help.
