A Valentine's trip to Killashee Hotel and Spa will leave you and your partner relaxed, refreshed and re-energised

As part of a special couples spa package at Killashee Hotel and Spa, myself and my partner went for a full body cleanse through a rasul treatment.

Enhancing that beauty from within, traditional Arabian cleansing from ritual helps you relax, cleanse and detoxify the body.

In the privacy of the rasul chamber, you apply mineral-enriched mud all over the body before entering an exotic steam room completes with magical twinkling lights.

The steam acts to open pores, allowing the detoxifying and nourishing properties of the mud to penetrate the skin.

A warm tropical shower washes away the mud, leaving skin smooth and silky to the touch.

From there, we travelled to the brand one of their many treatment rooms for a Warm Bamboo Back Massage.

With the Bamboo being considered a powerful healing tool in many parts of China, Japan and Indonesia, we were transcended into a almost cosmic state of relaxation.

Up next was the Dry Floatation chamber, which was arguably the most relaxing of the lot.

This revolutionary machine gives you the soothing feeling of floating, while remaining completely dry.

It genuinely allows you to drift away, clearing your head of any stressful or frustrating thoughts. They say a half an hour on dry floatation bed is equivalent to around three hours sleep.

Our trip concluded by returning to the tranquil Relaxation Suite, where we had some one on one time to relax and enjoy some light refreshments.

It's safe to say that we came out of our afternoon feeling relaxed, refreshed and re-energised.
