Autumn Mooney Reviews our Lattouf Hair & Day Spa Surfers Paradise


THE MARRIOTT HOTEL, LATTOUF HAIR & DAY SPA – GOLD COAST AUSTRALIA
The Marriott hotel’s Lattouf hair and day spa, on Australia’s sparkling Gold Coast in Queensland, combines an intoxicating infusion of the senses in order tocreate a perfect signature candle therapy massage.  The Marriott hotel’s Lattouf hair and day spa is where amazing aromas, serene sounds and magical massage become like art.
Located in the heart of Surfers Paradise, the Marriott hotel sits on a glistening canal. If you arrive early, you might perch on a comfortable outdoor sofa to enjoy a moment of recreated tropical paradise within a city of sun. Or perhaps, seat yourself inside and soak in the elegance with air-chilled interiors. Lattouf Spa is located on the level 1, accessed only by lift, along with a state of the art gymnasium. The spa offers an abundance of hair indulgences and relaxing spa treatments, plus Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna within a lovely five-star setting.
Antique wooden doors and burning candles frame Lattouf’s spa entrance, immediately inducing in guests a sublime relaxation state within the beauty den.  On arrival, friendly staff will seat you, offer a soothing tea such as peppermint and liquorice, take your details, then escort you to a candle filled oasis treatment room, or into the modern hair salon, depending on your booking.
I enjoyed a Lattouf signature treatment, the pure Lattouf candle massage, for intense hydration. A melon and fig infused candle was melted into oil then expertly massaged and absorbed into my skin, while the aroma lingered and meditatively soft tunes played.  Candle therapy works well for unwinding, with gliding elbows and kneeding hands on pressure points all the more smooth and sensual. Guests choose the candle scent to be burnt during the massage. On offer are Lattouf exclusive aroma’s such as vanilla cinnamon and clove, or lemon and green tea, or Patchouli, aniseed, with ylang ylang – sounds like a hard decision? It is.
I recommend The Marriott Hotel Lattouf  Hair & Spa to anyone seeking a purely relaxing and indulgent day on the Gold Coast of Australia.
