beauty escape
Palm Cove
PARADISE Hidden along the coast between Cairns and Port Douglas is Palm Cove – a sleepy town boasting a palm treelined beachfront that is Queensland’s answer to LA’s Sunset Boulevard. A trip to the holiday spot wouldn’t be complete without a treatment at one of numerous, highly rated beauty spaces for a little R+R. Away from the hustle-and-bustle on the main strip is Via Spa by Accor – a luxurious day retreat offering a treatment menu fit for holiday-goers seeking either performance-powered skincare or a relaxing full-body reset. Hannah Gay visited the venue and spoke to Spa and Boutique Retail Manager, Karli Phillips on what sets the space apart.
Karli, tell us a little about yourself where did you get your start in the beauty space, and how long have you worked with Vie Spa? “I started in the spa space from day one where I conducted my training in Auckland, NZ. We also had a student day spa, so I was definitely immersed and drawn to everything that lives and breathes spa. I was fortunate enough to gain a position back in 2011 when I relocated to Cairns at what is now Vie Spa, and have been with them ever since!” How long has Vie Spa been in operation? “The spa itself has been operating for 14 years, and was rebranded into the Vie Spa we know today in 2013.” What is the ethos behind the space? “[For the client], their overall state of wellness is nurtured, where treatments are designed to respond to their internal and external needs. By connecting to each individual guest, we can create a bespoke experience ensuring each guest’s expectations are exceeded.” Describe the look and feel of the space. “Vie Spa is light, comforting and uplifting, washing a sense of calm over you as soon as you enter our sanctuary.” →
