After the cramped flights and stressful meetings, do yourself a favor and stop by the serenely elegant Helsinki Day Spa. Located in the heart of the city, this facility offers a full range of skin treatments and massages, as well as daily yoga, pilates, and stretching classes. The decor is pure Finnish design, but the treatments are Eastern, with everything from Thai Ayurvedic massage to Japanese Seltai-Chakra Therapy. In a city that sits on the border of east and west, Helsinki Day Spa offers an indulgent fusion of the best of both worlds. Massages 35-178 EUR; facials 95-165 EUR; full packages 140-248 EUR. - Liesl Yamaguchi Review © 2007, Wcities |
