GOLD SPA

So, you think a spa visit is about cold water showers, colonics and salad leaves? Well, a visit to Waterfall may just change your mind.

Based on the philosophy of 'a little of what you fancy does you good', the brand-spanking new Waterfall Spa in Leeds is not into deprivation, denial or detox in any form. Hooray! The spa embraces a far more tempting approach - namely enjoying life and giving in to all manner of indulgences.

Waterfall is a haven for the decadent, with its shimmering draped boudoir beds,and a beautiful plush interior by award winning designer Roberta Fulford.

The many treatments on offer - as if you need them when you're this relaxed - include the spa's signature Indonesian therapies and  a seductive hot oil wrap, a deeply hydrating and pampering intensive massage which  helps rehydrate dry skin.

Retro Glamour

There's a retro glamour lounge where you can have your very own 'Joey and Chandler' chairs to recline on, and sip chilled champagne while enjoying pedicures and pressure point massage from a personal 'hostess'. What's more, while you are chilling in the spa you can make the most of complimentary iPods and iDocks.

The spa delivers mini-treatments in the form of chocolate pots and chilled fruit platters after each treatment to then go and dunk to your hearts desire in the venues own Belgian chocolate fountain.

Let me just say that again, in case you think you may have mis-read it.

A spa. With a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. I'm there.

Like most spas, there are also heat rooms and a stunning hydrotherapy pool to make you feel as though you are a million miles away from the bustling chaos of the city. Located on the hip Brewery Wharf, this is a great option for anyone wanting to escape the negative outside world and invest in some feel-good girly time where the emphasis is on self-acceptance.

Waterfall Spa is an empowering venue where girls are encouraged to celebrate themselves and embrace some seriously good creature comforts. And a chocolate fountain!
