Sheer indulgence is the watchword at Excelsior’s new spa, Le Grand Spa. The pursuit of luxury is not new to the Excelsior when it means delivering the quality of life anticipated by today’s international 5-star travellers in their search for fresh sensory experiences and new sensations.

Doing nothing by halves, the Excelsior claims to offer the most exclusive spa treatment centre in Malta and judging by their new premises, treatments, staff, equipment and products, they could be right. The Excelsior’s new spa centre certainly drives its guest philosophy of grand life in some highly original ways.

Luxury touches for the Le Grand’s guests include tailor-made facials that use individual serums and ampoules, so each facial is unique. The richest form of natural mineral, 24-carat gold leaf, is used in a number of treatments. Dermastir Diamond ampoules that carry fine particles of diamond dust are used for exfoliation.

Not surprisingly, these Dermastir diamond ampoules are marked with a lot number for authenticity – and originality. Le Grand 5-star spa guests can also receive caviar’s high nutrient and protein properties as part of their treatment. Dermastir caviar serums by Alta Care Laboratories are much better quality, are longer lasting and have enriching effects on the skin that ordinary treatment ingredients do not possess.

Another Le Grand first is the unique Altadrine Candle Oil Massage. Le Grand is the first spa in Malta to use these special candle oils. In fact, all Le Grand’s spa products are packed in specially designed oxygen-free containers to maximise the benefits of their ingredients for the Excelsior’s guests.

Over 60 treatments are available on the Le Grand treatment menu, consisting of 28 different luxury facials and 34 different luxury body treatments. In keeping with the Excelsior’s Far Eastern origins, these treatments come in a fusion of East meets West – from Balinese and Chinese to Indian Head Massage and Swedish Massage. Not surprisingly, Excelsior’s new spa incorporates the very latest technology for both facial and body treatments and is supported by a highly qualified team of international therapists.

In typical Excelsior style, Le Grand has four rooms for couples, to enable guests and clients to have treatment at the same time. In the Le Grand’s party room, guests can be pampered four-at-a-time in total privacy for as little as one hour or for the whole day. When it comes to living the spa life, champagne is on the menu, too, to toast that special occasion or special celebrations like weddings, hen parties and corporate clients.
