Find euphoria in Pattaya at Eforea

RELAX, refresh and rejuvenate at the Hilton Pattaya spa eforea with an array of tailor-made treatments, three options of treatment products and a great view of the beach. 

Perched on the bustling shore, the Hilton Pattaya only recently unveiled its terrific spa, eforea, which has been a popular draw at the chain’s American hotels for three years. Thailand is the fourth country where it’s been introduced, bringing various types of treatment and pampering with the use of prime-quality products. 

The compact spa comes with fully equipped, comfortable treatment chambers, plus a nail salon, steam room and sauna, a vichy shower and relaxation area. 

Not every guest seeks the same journey, so eforea presents three options, each utilising its own products and protocols, but all designed exclusively for the Hilton. 

“The Essential Journeys” are treatments using powerful and advanced technology for instant results, while “The Escape Journeys” are holistic spa experiences that integrate nourishing organic-plant ingredients and traditional global-healing practices. 

And gentlemen get to enjoy “The Men’s Journey”, a collection of re-energising experiences for those seeking balance and restoration. 

There are also three product lines. 

Kerstin Florian’s progressive range of European facial, body and bath products and treatments rely on natural resources – algae, mud, herbal extracts, thermal mineral water and essential oils. Li’tya draws on the revitalising and restorative powers of Australia’s native resources for a holistic spa experience and, also from Australia, Vitaman offers natural spa and grooming products formulated specifically for men.

A recommended treatment is Meditation Journey, which soothes and relaxes. 

You start with a warm foot bath and then the therapist conducts a “smoking ceremony” by burning Australian “Aboriginal leaves” that are believed to have soothing power. As the faint smoke subsides, you get to choose the massage oil without seeing the label. This way, your body can instinctively tell you what it really wants. Using camellia and sweet almond as base oils, the options are Detox with tea tree and lemon, Balancing with lavender and Rejuvenate with ylang-ylang. 

This treatment does not use one particulate technique but a harmonious blend of various, with long stokes, palm and light kneading, with no sharp accupressure or twisting. It does not hammer at the muscles – the aim is to soothe your body and mind. You’ll feel completely relaxed and uplifted afterwards. 

Meditation Journey lasts 60 minutes for Bt2,500 and 90 minutes for Bt3,5000. 

Other interesting treatments include the 90-minute Full Body Repair that includes a scrub, massage and mini-facial, the 60-minute Tandem Massage that involves a four-hand massage, the 90-minute Total Healing Body Experience and the 60-minute All Over Detox.
