Indulge in 'true' wellbeing at Borgo Egnazia's Vair Spa

Tuesday, 27 September 2011 9:47 AM

Borgo Egnazia believes it is in position to become one of the leading luxury spas in Italy after opening the Vair Spa.

The opening has revealed the completion of the stunning 1,800m² Vair Spa, developed to become the most spectacular embodiment of pampering in the Mediterranean.

In keeping with Borgo Egnazia's philosophy of preserving local traditions, Vair is based around local Apulian customs and an affinity with the Apulian land.

All products are made in Italy and some treatments evoke the therapeutic traditions of the local region, while all treatment names are inspired by local dialect, including the title 'Vair' which stands for truth.

Treatments are designed by the spa manager Patrizia Bortolin and her team of psychologists, dermatologists, doctors, nutritionists, yoga experts, and physiotherapists to create unique spa experience.

Vair is based on naturopathy, psychology and psychosomatic medicine. The team is trained to observe the skin, muscles and understand tension, paying particular interest in non-verbal language.

The 1,800m² Vair Spa, designed over two levels, includes fourteen treatment rooms, a spa suite with a garden and steam room, a 'social suite' for hands and feet, an infusion bar and a heated indoor pool.
