Self Care – Spa Diva

SPA like a DIVA!

When I stepped into Montreal’s most luxurious day spa last week, I might’ve been having a bit of a chocolate craving.

This was my first time at Spa Diva, voted the finest spa in Montreal for 6 consecutive years in a row and recognized as the largest and most luxurious full-service day spa in Canada.  Now I understand way.  The spa is located downtown Montreal on the second floor of the elegant Les Cours Mont-Royal; a prime shopping and dining destination.  Such a beautifully decorated mall. 

LCMR-Les Cours Mont Royal

To get there I decided to take the metro from my hotel which was located midtown Montreal. I hadn’t taken the metro in years and almost forgot how convenient, fast and super easy it is.  I arrived at Peel station in minutes where there’s an entrance to the mall.  Once inside I took the winding staircase up to the second floor where Spa Diva is located.  

Before my service I was met by a very pleasant esthetician named Yenzy, who escorted me to my very own change room complete with private shower with all the amenities, plush robe and slippers and a key to lock up when ready. Everyone who books a service gets their own room.  How nice is that?

I had a tough time choosing from the multitude of services available but finally decided on a decadent chocolate body wrap.  It was amazing. I was smothered and scrubbed all over in warm luscious salted chocolate combined with the healing properties of soy. I was then body wrapped and left to rest for about 15 minutes before Yenzy returned.  This treatment is a natural detox  to satisfy the body’s craving for replenishment and chocolate and revitalization (the brochure was right) while leaving skin hydrated and feeling very very smooth.  It’s followed up with a mini tension relieving facial massage.  Sooo relaxing.  

Then you get to relax in a deluxe waiting area until they’re ready for you on the most comfy sofa beds drinking tea or lemonade and eat chocolate covered strawberries. That is divine enough on its own. They don’t rush you.  You’re allowed to spend as long as you like (except for staying overnight of course) after whatever service you’re having too.

If I didn’t have to catch a flight back to Vancouver that same day I would’ve tried to add on something else.  But I’ll definitely go back when in Montreal next.

I highly recommend this spa.
