The only thing simple about the Salus Per Aquum spa is its mantra — ‘health through water’ — which incidentally is also the English translation of its name. But expectedly, like all things decadently Versace, the Roman Bath style Salus Per Aquum spa is as exclusive as it can get, offering a broad range of treatments to satisfy the body’s modern day needs.

Located in the world’s very first Versace Hotel, the Palazzo Versace at Australia’s favourite holiday playground, Queensland’s Gold Coast, the spa bears that definitive Versace stamp, accentuated by the iconic triumvirate logos of the Medusa head, the olive branch and the perfectly geometric parallel lines that gently rise into squares every now and then. Done up in pale marble mosaic, the Salus Per Aquum spa combines design features from the opulent palaces of Europe and the classical architecture of Roman times to great success.

But what is even more inviting than the superb environs of the multi award winning day spa, is the comprehensive menu of treatments it has on tap for the gent who likes to indulge in a bit of serious pampering whenever the need arises… and even when it doesn’t!

 

Echoing this is Salus Per Aquum’s Managing Director, Brendan Long who understands his guests’ needs down to the T, “With the busy lifestyles we are now leading, it is rare for people to have the time to spend a week overcoming the stresses of life. Results need to be achieved in a far shorter period of time and more regularly. The personalised and specialised features of Salus Per Aquum have been designed to achieve this.” According to Long, the spa also offers special packages for corporate clients seeking to reward their delegates. Now that’s what we call mixing business with pleasure!

For complete rejuvenation of the body, one can choose from the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi (AUD $195 for 90 min) and Kahuna (AUD $205 for 90 min) massages that uses a unique flow and rhythm to the massage strokes, to the calming Shiatsu Massage (AUD $195 for 90 min). But if you prefer a more ‘earthy’ therapy, then the Hot Stone Massage (AUD $205 for 90 min) is just what you need.

 

Another big hit at the spa among men is the Body Renewal Treatment (AUD $265 for 105 min) that commences with a full body exfoliation using loofahs, soft brushes and sea salts, followed by the application of a body moisturising mask. Once the mask has nurtured the body, the refreshing shower washes away all impurities as the direct steam of water and light rain combine to stimulate the entire body into a deep state of relaxation.

For the man who likes to keep his mug in tip-top condition, the Salus Per Aquum spa has its famous Salus Signature Facial (AUD $190 for 90 min) that is preceded by skin analysis and involves thorough deep pore cleansing, steam and extractions along with the use of a three part thermal rubber lift mask that regulars claim renders phenomenal visual results. Other popular facial treatments are the Caviar Radiance Facial (AUD $270 for 90 min) and the Express Facial (AUD $150 for 60 min). Also available at the spa are a range of hand and foot treatments (ranging from AUD $105 to 145 for 60 to 75 min) that complete the male grooming experience at Salus per Aquum.

 

While the treatments may seem comprehensive enough, that’s not all that this calming oasis offers the busy businessman or the weary world traveller. This spa also boasts of a well-appointed hairdressing salon, a heated indoor swimming pool, steam and sauna rooms, water therapy sessions, personal training, yoga and tai chi among others that are just a glimpse of what entices guests to stay a little bit longer here.

But who needs enticements when the Versace promise of style and luxury coupled with sublimity and bliss says it all!

Salus Per Aquum for ‘Him and Her’ together!
Pampering is something that is meant to be shared. The special couples suite at the spa is elegantly appointed with dual massage beds and is bathed in the soft light of perfumed candles. Here, their gifted therapists promise to transport the two of you to a place of total and complete relaxation. But hang on, that’s not all. At the conclusion of your 60-minute soothing massage, you get to enjoy a glass of crisp bubbly while the two of you loose yourselves in the gurgling plunge pool. All this for AUD $260 per couple.
