A SPAlicious five-star day!

Sometimes, it`s important to do something for yourself. Treat yourself well and give yourself a little luxury, whatever that means to you. So why don’t we do it more often?

Walking towards the five-star luxury hotel “Europäischer Hof” in Heidelberg (on a “normal” Tuesday) to get a facial (in the Aziz Beauty Lounge) and some spa luxury with my friends, I felt like I could fly. My main thought was “yeah”!

A unique feature of the spa: the roof terrace has an impressive view of the famous Heidelberg Castle! Noone can beat that!

Arriving at the “Panorama SPA“, I got a warm welcome by Mona, showing me around and explaining me how it all works. I had time to relax a while in the sauna before my facial treatment was to begin (they have a sauna, a sanarium and a steam-bath). Here is a photo tour through my wonderful experience:

Me ready for my facial. Make-up removal is part of the treatment, so come as you are!

Ramona did a good job with my facial treatment! — Thank you, Evelina, for a great job with my facial treatment! I had the treatment called Pureness (30. minutes), but they have various treatments available that last longer.

During the facial, she used products from "Ligne St. Barth" with wonderful smells and great effects. It left my skin softer than a baby butt, smelling like a lily! — During the facial, she used products from “Ligne St. Barth” with wonderful smells and great effects.

After my treatment, I just chilled at the rooftop terrace, waiting for my girls to arrive. Such a nice thing to be able to share this experience with good friends!

It was time to get something bubbly in the glas and take a swim!

A small pool including a whirlpool corner - a great place to just float and enjoy. We were lucky and could enjoy it all by ourselves! — A small pool including a whirlpool corner – a great place to just float and enjoy. We were lucky and could enjoy it all by ourselves!

Complementary use of towels, bathrobe and slippers! There is also tea, coffee, water and some snacks for the guests to enjoy.

Thank you to my friends, Anne and Hannah, for making this an unforgettable day. Being a mom to a two-year-old makes me see how valuable such quality-time with friends, your partner or family is. One should never forget to spend time with the people you love and appreciate every single moment of joy and happiness.

Dare to make your dreams come true – the journey starts with a single step!
