Beauty Fix – where to pamper yourself in BA

1 Comment Print

Tramping around a big, grimy city like Buenos Aires can take its toll on your appearance and general well-being. While most of the city’s five star hotels have spas to die for, expect to pay an arm and a leg for the privilege of using them. Alternatively, pay a visit to one of these relaxing establishments for some much-needed pampering.

Le Parc Day Spa offers a wide choice of head-to-toe treatments from nourishing facials to hot stone massages, hydrotherapy baths and other beauty treatments in modern, comfortable surroundings. Don a white robe, lie back and allow the team of professional therapists to work their holistic magic. You can also get a day pass to use the gym and swimming pool if you fancy a good work out at the same time.
