On the edge of the World Heritage-Listed Blue Mountains National Park now stands Ubika Day Spa, one of the largest purpose built day spa facilities in Australia. The two-story day spa is the newest addition to the ongoing revitalisation of Leura landmark, Fairmont Resort & Spa Blue Mountains, an MGallery by Sofitel branded resort.
Ubika — from the Ancient Indian Sanskrit meaning ‘to grow’ – is based around a wellness philosophy of seed planting, and helping to nurture it, for continued physical, emotional and spiritual growth. Inspired by the seasons, the surrounding environment and the needs of busy people, the spa menu has been designed to hydrate, nourish, restore and regenerate so one can flourish. Treatments focus on the core elements needed for growth: hydration [water] nourishment [food] restore [repair and nurture] regenerate [exfoliating, brightening].
Featuring 16 treatment rooms, each with its own shower, including four couple’s rooms and one deluxe couple’s room with private spa bath, Ubika Day Spa also features a Vichy Shower room, and a quiet Zen room to relax pre and post treatment in front of a fireplace sipping iKOU branded herbal teas.
Flooded by natural light and surrounded by natural beauty, the building blends in with its surroundings on the World Heritage-Listed site, with sandstone walkways, black butt timber detailing, tranquil water features, fishponds and an autumnal colour theme throughout.
Multi-award winning local Leura based organic spa brand, iKOU, have designed a bespoke menu for Ubika Day Spa incorporating their own range of spa products. iKOU sources the most potent and pure ingredients from pristine locations around the globe, with a focus on unique organic and wild-harvested Australian fruit and flower anti-ageing extracts, like the local White Flannel Flower. Each treatment takes guests on a journey inspired by nature, with sensory details of the global spa culture infused into every experience, from facials, body scrubs to cocoons and massages, with treatments specifically designed for woman and men, couples and pregnancy.
Ubika Day Spa’s signature treatment is the ‘White Flannel Flower Sanctuary Ritual’, a head-to-toe degustation experience designed by iKOU, inspired by the beauty of the Australian White Flannel Flower. The 105-minute full body sensory journey includes an ‘Organic Coconut & Jasmine Body Polish’, ‘Australian White Flannel Floral Hydrating Cocoon’, ‘Baobab & Neroli Facial Massage,’ ‘Double Face Masque infusion,’ ‘Peptide+ Multi-Action Serum,’ ‘Full Body White Flannel Flower Soufflé,’ and ‘Foot Restoration Massage.’ Suitable for pregnancy.
Fairmont Resort & Spa Blue Mountains General Manger Scott O’Neile says, “There is no doubt this resort resonates in the hearts of so many people, holding special memories and stories of special times gone by. The resort is now entering a new era, with significant investment being made into the revitalisation of the resort, with wellness now a key focus, turning it into one of the region’s must-stay destinations, enhanced by the addition of Ubika Day Spa.
“Fairmont Resort & Spa Blue Mountains truly is a destination in its own right and we look forward to welcoming guests to Ubika Day Spa and showcasing the best of the World-Heritage listed Blue Mountains region,” concluded Scott.
Cosmetic enhancements are also available, by a highly experienced cosmetic nurse injector, with over 15 years of experience, specialising in anti-ageing treatments. In addition to injectables, the nurse offers peels in combination with skin products recommended as part of the treatment plan.
To celebrate the start of Autumn, Ubika Day Spa has launched an ‘Autumn De-Stress Special’ to soothe tired feet and restore skin hydration as the weather starts to cool with a nourishing ‘Foot Restoration Massage’ and ‘Organic Hydration Facial’ for only $155 for 75 minutes.
