Try a delicious new treatment - Chocotherapy

We may be the last to admit it, but chocolates, not diamonds, really are a girls best friend. What else comforts you when you break up with your boyfriend, transforms a 15 minute tea break into a forbidden pleasure and even ups the romance factor with Mr maybe?

The use of chocolate in therapeutic body treatments can be traced back to the 4th century, Mayans smothered themselves in a balm made from the cacoa plant. And with good reason too: cocoa powder is jam-packed with minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium which stimulate cell renewal, plus vitamins C,D and E to hydrate, and flavenoids and caffeine for diuretic action. Forget green tea, dark chocolate packs a greater punch with four times as many anti-oxydants.

The latest body treatment from Italian company Gerard’s is affectionately named Chocotherapy, and is designed to calm the mind, as well as leave the skin soft, glowing and completely hydrated. The treatment starts with an invigorating body scrub using a blend of Dead sea salts and essential oils of white musk, geranium, or honeysuckle. When the skin has been prepped, cocoa butter chocolate is melted and mixed with warm sweet almond oil for a truly hedonistic massage experience!

There is an optional facial treatment adaptable for sensitive, dry or problem skin.
The facial and body treatment combined with a dip in the garden gazebo hot tub and time for relaxation included, form the Chocolate Heaven Spa Package - a perfect indulgence for yourself or with shared with friends.
