You’ve heard of our Brisbane spa… 

Our owners Leanne Morris and Tracey Ivanovski opened the Brisbane salon five years ago. As well as being Queensland’s premier day spa, Raby Bay currently holds the APAA Best Day Spa in Australia award, and the ASpa’s Best Day Spa in Australia Reader’s Choice Award. (Not bad, huh.)

But it was time to grow.

So we introduced the Harbour Day Spa Gold Coast, located at the Phoenician Resort in Broadbeach (previously the Phoenician Spa Retreat). The Gold Coast salon has duplicated Raby Bay’s winning combination: a relaxing, indulgent paradise incorporating a medi-spa as well as a full hair salon and makeup boutique. This is full-scale opulence: elegant Mediterranean fittings, 10 treatment rooms, a roman bath, steam room, sauna and a plunge pool. It perfectly caters to solo spa-goers after total tranquility, and girly groups ready for fizz and fuchsia pedicures.

Relaxation or results?

Have both. We’re often forced to choose between a traditional relaxing spa experience and the stark surrounds of a skincare clinic. Harbour Day Spa rejects this divide, offering pampering that soothes the soul and replenishes the skin as well as a dazzling array of cosmoceuticals and medi-spa initiatives like IPL, peels, microdermabrasion and Doctor-administered injectionables like Botox and Restalyne. There is absolutely no need to compromise on experience for results.

Leave looking better than you arrived.

Harbour Day Spa says no to The Great Skin, Terrible Hair dilemma that so often accompanies a treatment.

It simply isn’t a fitting end for a luxurious spa visit. So… have a blow-dry! Enjoy a spray tan you can wash off after only two hours! Have your eyebrows shaped and your make up done! And why not have a French manicure while all that’s happening. The sheen from your visit shouldn’t fade once you jam your sunglasses on and walk out the front door; it should become positively luminous. How good you feel as you leave cannot be underestimated.

The bottom line.

The Gold Coast isn’t short of spas. But what has been missing is one that offers everything in one sumptuous location and that thinks as their clients do; that understands what women want not only during but also after a spa visit – glowing skin, great hair and several tonne of self-confidence. The staff has been handpicked because they’re the best, ditto the products and treatments. You will be unashamedly indulged and you will see results. You’ll leave looking and feeling like your Best Possible You, and there’s nothing as magnificent as that.

Comments

I love the goal your spa/salon has of merging both the traditional relaxing elements of the spa with professional care in terms of your skincare clinic. I would absolutely love to visit one of your locations if I am ever in the area again, or if I ever have enough time for an adventure during my busy weeks!
