The Six Senses Spa mirrors The Alpina Gstaad’s mix of the modern and historic by bridging innovative therapies with traditional Eastern practices. The spa expert guides clients in selecting the best treatments for their needs, to be enjoyed in spacious tranquility in the indulgent 2'000 sq-metre space.
The verdant valleys and mountains that rise around Gstaad are a testament that water is truly the source of life. And of beauty, as witnessed in a new revolution in skincare. JetpeelTM is a non-invasive treatment that hydrates, sculpts, and cleanses without needles. Instead, high-speed hydroporation infuses the skin with a wealth of anti-aging and skin-boosting ingredients, like hyaluronic acid for hydration to the botanical Brightening Complex that returns skin to its natural glow. “From the very first session, our clients notice a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion,” says Claire.
How has JetPeel™ revolutionised how spas are cosmetically removing signs of aging? Derived from aerospace engineering, hydroporation features a highly precise, supersonic jet stream of microdroplets that deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and permeate the skin with beneficial serums. This results in an enhanced absorption of active ingredients that supports regeneration while reducing impurities and redness. Modeled after a laser beam, JetPeel™ is remarkably pain-free with no downtime.
JetPeel™ offers a range of revitalising benefits that turn back the clock, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while minimising pores. Ever so gentle and non-invasive, these nourishing facials are suitable for all skin types, including people with acne and pigmentation issues. Numerous clinical studies by top university hospitals have scientifically confirmed the deep effectiveness and efficacy of JetPeel™.
How does JetPeel™ rejuvenate skin that has been damaged by exposure to outdoor elements in the Alps? Claire explains, “The high-pressure aerosol intensely hydrates cold- and wind-weathered skin and exfoliates your face to remove dead skin cells.” Like a magic wand for your skin, this innovative hydroporation treatment deeply cleans, unclogs pores and stimulates circulation, for a healthy, natural glow.
The familiar beat of your favourite love song, the ethereal chords of a church organ, the “om” hummed in yoga class. Sounds can really move us, and sound healing harnesses this power in a deeper way to improve your physical and mental well-being. Singing bowls produce sacred sounds that reverberate in your innermost self, “Providing a pathway to your true limitless nature,” Claire enthuses. Transformative and transcendent, sound healing can be experienced alone or with loved ones.
The Six Senses Spa boasts an exclusive collection of over 40 different instruments. Like The Alpina Gstaad’s discerning clientele, “They come from many continents — Asia, Africa, Europe, South America — to create a unique sensorial meditation,” explains Claire. It is truly rare to have such a variety of instruments, plus masters like Claire and Head Therapist Antonis Sarris leading the sound healing sessions.
Singing bowl meditation offers a range of potential benefits for both physical and mental well-being. Participants experience reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep quality and mood, and pain relief. The vibrations quiet the mind and expand your consciousness to improve concentration. Some believe the benefits are linked to the bowls’ capacity to stimulate the production of positive hormones, alter brainwave patterns, and resonate with the body’s energy field.
Rooted in ancient traditions, singing bowl meditation is undergoing modern innovation through scientific exploration and creative applications. Research is increasingly validating the positive effects of singing bowl sound therapy on physiological and psychological well-being. Innovative methods include designing specialized bowls for specific body areas, integrating with other wellness practices like yoga, and exploring how sound frequencies impact brain activity.
