September is here, and with it comes that feeling of wanting to stretch summer out a little longer, which is why the Bahía del Duque Hotel in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, offers a way to transition into fall that involves taking care of yourself, relaxing, and enjoying the season’s most peaceful sunsets overlooking the Atlantic.
The Bahía Wellness Retreat Spa: An Oasis for the Start of the School Year
This luxury spa in Tenerife is inspired by the power of the sea and the sun of the Canary Islands. It features an outdoor thalassotherapy circuit centered around a Vitality Pool filled with water drawn directly from the Atlantic, hydromassage jets, bubble beds, an ice pool, an outdoor solarium, a hammam, saunas, and sensory showers.
With the arrival of fall, its program becomes a go-to option for restoring physical and mental balance after the summer season, since, beyond the fitness circuit, the spa offers a comprehensive menu of holistic treatments and rituals, as well as a physical therapy area, a Kinesis room, Pilates, yoga, a gym, and a Beauty Studio, featuring hair, manicure, and pedicure services.
The Bahía Wellness Retreat spa is open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and access to the thalassotherapy circuit and treatments is also available to non-residents.
Top 5 Post-Summer Treatments at Bahía Wellness Retreat
There’s no doubt that summer takes its toll on your skin and hair. Prolonged exposure to the sun, chlorine from the pool, and saltwater can damage hair strands, dry out the skin, and dull your complexion. Bahía Wellness Retreat offers a selection of five treatments designed to give you a complete makeover for the new season, featuring leading brands such as Biologique Recherche.
- After-Sun Hair Treatment
Hair is often overlooked when it comes to post-summer care. The Beauty Studio at Bahía del Duque, in partnership with Atelier Hair & Nails, offers the perfect treatment to revitalize your hair in three steps: a restorative shampoo that removes salt and chlorine buildup without drying out the hair, a deep-nourishing mask that rebuilds the hair fiber and restores natural shine, and a leave-in oil or balm that controls frizz and leaves a silky finish. The result is revitalized, soft, and lustrous hair.
- Lymphatic Drainage
Summer can leave you feeling sluggish and bloated. Lymphatic drainage is the most effective treatment for restoring a sense of lightness and cleansing the body. Through gentle and precise manual pumping techniques, it stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, promotes the elimination of toxins, and visibly reduces fluid retention. The results are felt immediately.
- P50 Body Scrub
Dead skin cells accumulate on the body, which can lead to a dull complexion and uneven texture. Biologique Recherche’s P50 Body Gommage is an exfoliating and restorative treatment that promotes epidermal renewal from the deepest layers, removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and increasing blood circulation. The result is visibly smoother, more even skin with a velvety texture.
- Oxygenating Detox Facial
The Oxygenating Detox Facial is a detoxifying and purifying treatment specially designed for those times when the face may appear dull and uneven. Its ability to activate cellular metabolism gives it powerful anti-pollution properties that protect against atmospheric pollutants. After application, skin tone is evened out and the face regains its oxygenated, hydrated, and revitalized appearance.
- Luxury Visage Facial
The most comprehensive treatment in the collection. Biologique Recherche’s Luxury Visage Facial combines 27 anti-wrinkle, antioxidant, firming, and regenerating ingredients, including TélomeroActiv, an active ingredient that deeply repairs cellular DNA and stimulates the body’s defenses against free radicals. The result is more radiant skin with an even tone and a visible reduction in the pigmentation of existing dark spots.
Sunsets at Bahía del Duque: the perfect complement to the rentrée
After a spa session, few things enhance the sense of well-being quite like watching the sunset from the terraces at Bahía del Duque. With views of La Gomera and the Atlantic, the season’s last rays of sun create a sense of calm that invites you to extend summer just a little longer.
Upalupa Moments & Tastes is one of the hotel’s best spots to enjoy a cocktail at sunset, with chill-out music and the laid-back pace that characterizes this time of year in southern Tenerife. It’s a unique way to end the day and make the rentrée an experience worth savoring.
Back-to-School in Bahía del Duque: A Moment for Yourself
Getting back into a routine doesn’t have to be a sudden change. In Bahía del Duque, September and October are two of the most peaceful and pleasant months of the year: the weather is warm, the hotel returns to its more relaxed pace, and the spa offers exactly what you need to make the transition smoothly.
A day at Bahía Wellness Retreat, a sunset overlooking the Atlantic, and dinner at one of the hotel’s restaurants: that’s how you kick off the new season in Costa Adeje.
