Water is the blood of life. It is the substrate from which we evolved and in which the biochemical processes vital to our existence fizzle away. Nothing could be more precious. 

Spas are not spas without water. In fact, the definition of a spa is “a location where mineral-rich spring water (and sometimes seawater) is used to give medicinal baths.” In all cultures water is regarded as a purifier of the body and mind.

Autumn Spa: Fall In Love With Thermal Treatments

Crisp air, whirling leaves and the cold crunch of the first frosts. Like Halloween and Bonfire Night, late autumn has a bewitching magic.
