Shahdag is associated by majority of us, first of all, with skiing. However it is time to break down the stereotypes: Shahdag, the popular tourism center, is more than just an opportunity to go skiing. A wide range of leisure options for every taste will allow everybody to spend some quality time to the benefit of body and soul. SPA treatments take an important place among these opportunities. A lot of people come to Shahdag to treat themselves to a massage and variety of wellness treatments and the resort can give them “hot” reception. And what better place is there to soak up the Jacuzzi, admiring snowcapped mountain views in winter or to exercise the spinning, feasting your eyes on green hills in summer than here?!
Bali massage and Turkish peeling
“Ovdan” SPA in the five-star “Shahdag Hotel&Spa” is the glaring example of the world-class wellness complex created in the Azerbaijani resort. The spacious complex with a total area of 3000 square meters includes treatment rooms, Turkish hammams, Finnish sauna, steam bath, whirlpool bath, Cleopatra’s bath, indoor pool, gym, yoga studios, SPA bar and relaxation lounge. SPA center services include a wide selection of massages, aromatherapy, reflexotherapy, wrappings, bathing rituals and many other exclusive treatments including facial and body treatments.
Bali massage, the popular type of oriental massage therapy, aimed at stimulation of energy pathways within the body, requires special conditions and this massage is done in a specially prepared room with dim light. Bali massage involves the use of gentle strokes, reflexology, aromatherapy, and acupressure for complete relaxation and soothing.
The male visitors of the SPA prefer Hammam “Farah” complex treatment, which is held in the authentic Turkish bath by an experienced therapist, who worked in Antalya for many years. The first step is the peeling with “kise” which allows you to remove the dirt and dead skin. This treatment is followed by a famous foam massage. The massage is followed by back and legs mask with honey and milk.
Cleopatra’s bath and the energy of nature
Soaking in hot water is an effective way to naturally encourage and induce the body to sleep. Bathing in warm water will relieve stress due to the release of endorphins. And Cleopatra’s bath doubles the benefit and pleasure. Milk and honey are used instead of water! This treatment is held in an original lacquered bathtub made of natural wood in “Ovdan” SPA center.
The design of interiors is very important, and this aspect is taken into account here. Walking through the center you catch yourself thinking that you are in the oriental tale; dome motifs, “shebeke” ornament and exquisite mosaic used in design gives exactly this feeling. Natural finishing materials radiating energy, light and warmth increase the effect of immersion in nirvana and promotes relaxation. In a word, you feel like you lose connection with time and reality and you wish just to one thing here – to extend this pleasure as long as possible.
Active leisure with a view of Shahdag
But people come to Shahdag not only for relaxation. Gym, pool and yoga studios are available for guests here. This well-appointed gym with more than 10 pieces of cardio training and weight equipment are popular not only among amateurs, but also among professionals.
This is just a small sample of the opportunities available in Shahdag, the pride of Azerbaijani tourism, which is constantly developing and attracting more and more tourists from all over the world.
Whatever the reason you visit Shahdag – to go skiing, relax in the SPA or workout in the gym, you will be surrounded with a care and inspired by warm welcome and you will feel the burst of youth energy and health.
Welcome to Azerbaijan, welcome to Shahdag!
