What’s on our radar this month …
Velvaere always warrants a visit: it’s a hidden oasis in the centre of Dublin, on Le Pole Square, near Dublin Castle. Velvaere is peaceful, friendly and packing a punch when it comes to treatments. Latest is this Codage head-to-toe exfoliation, with body brush, and massage using the extraordinary Concentrated Serum Milk (€69), containing encapsulated caffeine. It helps with circulation, water retention and general sluggishness.
Arrive in time to relax in the sauna and thermal pool first. And ask for Elina, a five-star therapist and one of the warmest I’ve encountered. It’s hard to explain just how soft and preternaturally smooth your skin will be for days afterwards. Unlike every other body massage, you won’t stick to your clothes with oil. Afterwards, you’ll have the best night’s sleep ever. A perfect pre-wedding treatment. €135; €160 from September; 75 minutes); velvaerespa.ie
