TREAT YOURSELF

Enjoy the ultimate pamper day out at Sanctuary Cove.

SANCTUARY COVE is well known for its retail and dining offerings but did you know it is also your go-to destination for a pamper day?

From hair and beauty to health and wellness, this popular precinct ticks all the boxes, as I discovered on a recent visit.

My first stop … Studio Eclettico Hair & Co for an uplifting brow sculpt and blow dry.

The experience was sensational.

Founded in 2017 by Zavier Lott, Studio Eclettico began in a small salon in Hope Island.

Now boasting a larger light-filled salon, with rattan pendant lights, leather chairs and brushed gold mirrors for a warm welcoming atmosphere, this WORDS BROOKE LOWTHER

relaxing oasis offers a range of luxury hair and beauty services including brow sculpting and threading, makeup application and blow dry treatments.

Next on my agenda was a visit to The VAULT Skin Lab Sanctuary Cove.

Walking in, you are instantly transported to a spa in the Mediterranean.

Here, the best of modern clinical treatments and product ingredients are combined with the tradition of ‘old-school’ beauty to create new and modern approaches to skin health.

Cathy Radford has distinguished herself as a passionate advocate of aesthetic skin improvement so knew I was in good hands.

With over 15 years’ experience within her practices in Orange Country USA, Sydney and now in Sanctuary Cove, Cathy specialises in tailored treatments and products designed to enhance an individual’s skin and complexion.

There are a wide range of treatments on offer, however, I chose the restful and rejuvenating 60-minute Signature Facial.

It was divine and I will certainly be heading back for my monthly facial treatments.

As part of my health and wellness experience I had also scheduled an appointment with Elite Skin, the number one Advanced Non-Surgical Cosmetic Clinic on the Gold Coast.

Step into their tranquil, attractive and professional skin and cosmetic centre on Masthead Way where they will take care of all your skin concerns and desires for improvements or change.

Specialising in skin treatments and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, the practice takes a more holistic and nurturing approach, with each treatment program tailored to the clients’ unique concerns and conditions.

I had a few skin concerns and the fact that they could accommodate these, and offer a long-term plan not just a quick fix, made me very comfortable and confident.

While technically not pampering, my last stop of the day was Enhanced Dental.

From simple procedures to more complex cases, this family-friendly practice specialises in improving your oral health as well as the appearance of your teeth.

They boast a comprehensive range of cosmetic and general procedures including emergency dentistry, teeth whitening, orthodontics (teeth straightening), dentures, porcelain veneers, crowns, implants and much more.

What I liked about the team at Enhanced Dental was their open and friendly approach to each patient.

Helping to beautify smiles and boost confidence, the Sanctuary Cove dental clinic is also a specialist in smile makeovers … perfect for me as I definitely want to keep my smile looking the best it can be.

Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after an indulgent day at Sanctuary Cove, I carried on with my busy life (but I am determined to make time for another visit as soon as possible).
