The Gold Coast - Australia's de-stress central
Where do Australians go when they are stressed?
The Gold Coast in Australia is known as the day spa and massage capital of Australia. With over 100 massage and day spa providers, the Gold Coast is home to some of the best companies for relaxation beauty and massage treatments in Australia. These vary considerably in style and structure.
For example many of the larger hotels will have day spas attached, including steam rooms, saunas, spas and a wide variety of massage treatments. These are often more expensive than other companies but do boast the luxury of often plush surroundings and treatments like float tanks, where the client’s body is suspended in high salt water in a darkened tank, designed to relax and soothe all the senses.
Day spas also can offer a variety of massages not otherwise available on the Gold Coast, such as hot stone, pregnancy and Indian Head Massage. There are also smaller businesses that offer Gold Coast massage services. These are usually independent therapists that work in their local region, sometimes unqualified and uninsured. Usually they are cheaper than the larger day spas but offer a more limited range of services.
These massage therapists typically offer remedial or relaxation Swedish massage treatments, often out of smaller rooms attached to a hair dressers or beauty salon. An excellent alternative to these are mobile Gold Coast massage therapists like Ripple, who offer a wide range of day spa treatments to clients in the privacy of their hotel rooms.
Ripple Massage’s website has much information on Gold Coast Mobile Day Spa and is the one mobile massage therapy business in Australia that also offers specialised pregnancy massage to its clients.
Some companies only offer the standard one hour Swedish or Remedial massage treatments in the Gold Coast region. However Ripple Gold Coast Massage is a little bit different in that it offers styles of massage you do not find in other places in Australia, such as chocolate, Russian, Vietnamese Four Hands and Sea Shell massage.
The Gold Coast has long been known as a region for relaxation, so it is not surprising that massage and day spa is popular here. The Gold Coast was a hugely popular holiday destination for servicemen returning from World War II. In the glorious 50’s the Gold Coast Region had grown and the 1960’s and 1970’s saw the developers undertake a lot of high rise development.
Surfers Paradise is also known for its ‘Meter Maids’ in gold bikinis who feed parking meters by the beach to prevent holiday makers from getting parking fines. The hi-rise boom continued right through the 1970s and it became Australia’s premier family holiday destination. It was then that day spas really started to be built, as well as theme parks and it became known for its blissfull massage treatments.
Today the Gold Coast remains one of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations for families looking to visit the theme parks, escape to the beach and indulge in some relaxation day spa treatments.
