Attention all workaholics!
Looking for a relaxing way to unwind from the stress of texting, typing and keeping up with the endless demands of social media these days? Need a pick-me-up after the holiday season as we gear up for the new year and reality sets in once again?
Look no further than your nearest Mandarin Oriental Spa!
The luxe hotel chain has a brand new body treatment specifically designed for those of us that are constantly glued to our smartphones, laptops and tablets, and I can’t stop raving about it to everyone I know.
I recently stopped into the Mandarin Oriental Paris to unwind this holiday season and their incredible Digital Wellness Escape was exactly what I needed.
The 120-minute indulgent experience promises to relax your mind and body with a soothing jacuzzi bath filled with shungite stones followed by a massage that targets the key areas of the body (like the head, eyes, neck, hands and feet) that hold the most tension from staring at computer or phone screens.
Upon arrival, I was welcomed with a cup of tea and a warm hand towel before I was asked to surrender my iPhone for the remainder of my stay. The attendants locked up my phone at the front desk, and although I was panicking inside, I forced myself to relax and focus on all aspects of this escape.
I absolutely loved the zen vibe and gorgeous décor at the Mandarin Oriental Paris, and felt completely pampered and at peace from the moment I stepped foot on property–which is a far cry from how I feel running around the streets of Paris on any given day.
My therapist was attentive and serene, and gave me a wonderfully relaxing massage that put me right to sleep!
When I was done, I was given dried fruit and tea to nourish my body and a coloring activity to further my digital disconnection.
Now that’s a first! It was like rehab for the digitally addicted.
I actually wrote about the full spa experience for JustLuxe.com, so check the site soon for my complete review!
In the meantime, be sure to book the Digital Wellness Escape treatment at any participating Mandarin Oriental worldwide.
It’s the perfect way to enter the new year and a savvy addition to MO’s spa menu that’s well worth the price for a 120 minutes of peace and solitude.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2017!
