Asanta Day Spa - Journey of the Senses

And a journey of the senses it is! Asante Day Spa is tucked away in a holiday resort. You walk past a resort style swimming area, into a different world. With great ambient music playing, with a bit of a tribal beat and a bit of spunk, the music matches the décor. It is African themed, with gorgeous animal prints impeccably arranged and not a detail left unattended to.Asante means thank you in Swahili, and after this treatment, I was saying “Asante!” Business owner Libby DeVaux (my therapist for the session), gave me a tailored treatment, which included parts of the Zulu Ritual as well. An invigorating Brazil nut, coffee & ginger body scrub, which softened my body, and made it feel so smooth and alive, I was more than ready for my Amani Stone Ritual, which is a heated stone massage, followed by a facial, a scalp ritual and a foot refine.

I received a soothing full body heated stone massage, like nothing I’d ever experienced. The stones were smooth and all pure marble. Warm essential oils were sweet orange - sandalwood and ginger, relaxing and cleansing. I gazed at the white cloth draped from the ceiling with the same precision and artistry, while my pores and skin were treated to a relaxing and invigorating heated stone vitamin A & C infusion facial. When my scalp was being massaged, I could feel my mind slow down and African beats draw me in.

Finally, the relaxing & refining foot ritual with pressure point massage. Asante. A wide range of treatments are available including a great couples afternoon, involving body treatments, facials, and quiet time together in the bath with champagne! Treatments can be tailored to the individual and service is attentive and personal.

Dargan Springs Mountain Lodge and The Blue Mountains Wellness Retreat

The Blue Mountains Wellness Retreat at Dargan Springs, “Pure Relaxation” high in the Blue Mountains, NSW

Busy lifestyles are fast, full and often overwhelming.  Full of commitments and ambitions for ourselves, our families and our careers. Finding a balance between these and the time needed for our personal wellbeing is challenging but essential.

Often just getting away from it all for some peace and quiet is one of the best therapies -  a ‘retreat’ to reflect, appreciate, make some new choices and plans.  

At The Blue Mountains Wellness Retreat, we encourage you to slow down, relax and recuperate. Eat well, sleep well, get out for some fresh air, surrender to a soothing massage – it’s as simple as that - and certainly effective.

Surrounded by fresh air, spectacular views and native bush, the tranquility of the natural environment is part of the magic.   The lodge has Advanced Eco-certification as we believe sustainable business practices go hand in hand with sustainable personal health and wellbeing.  

We don't believe in busy programs or restrictive diets.   All our meals are home-cooked, fresh, colourful, plentiful, nutritious and delicious – and you can enjoy a tea or coffee any time and a wine with dinner.

We offer a individual Balanced Lifestyle consultations.  These look at your lifestyle priorities and  personal values and then help you to make realistic plans for positive changes.  

Or you may just want to have a pampering getaway.  That’s fine with us!   Treat yourself to indulgent massage therapies and a ‘Phyts” organic aromatherapy facial, followed by a soak in the outdoor hot spring water spa.

We offer guided meditation, yoga and tai chi at the lodge.  And for the more energetic, we offer guided bushwalks, wilderness walks to some spectacular spots in the World Heritage Blue Mountains – as well as rock climbing, abseiling and mountain biking.

We hope you will go home rested, refreshed and inspired!
