Cork’s urban resort joins an exclusive list of premier wellness destinations as the first spa in Cork to offer Elemental Herbology with brand new spa menu
The Montenotte, Cork’s finest urban resort announces its new exclusive partnership with Elemental Herbology at the award-winning Bellevue Spa. As the first in Cork and second hotel in Ireland to collaborate with multi-awarding winning natural skincare brand, Elemental Herbology, this partnership brings a holistic wellness experience to Ireland’s leading luxury destination, furthering its commitment to delivering exceptional and innovative guest experiences.
Alongside its established list of body and holistic treatments, The Montenotte’s in-house Bellevue Spa will now offer Elemental Herbology products and treatments, joining a number of exclusive hotels including Nobu Hotel, London and Shangri-La, Oman. Available to local residents, hotel and day guests who are seeking thoughtfully curated spa treatments and a calming space to relax and recharge both body and mind.
Elemental Herbology creates holistic wellness experiences inspired by The Five Element Theory – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. The brand combines plant-based skin and body products with a fusion of eastern and western techniques, stemming from the philosophy that life exists in a constant state of flux where lifestyle and environment impact energy flow and balance. With a fresh approach connecting deeply with community, culture, and sustainability, Elemental Herbology helps guests discover their elemental balance through innovative products that restore harmony and promote wellbeing in all aspects of life.
The Five Element philosophy perfectly complements The Montenotte’s unique setting, where the Wood element is reflected in the Victorian sunken gardens and surrounding woodlands, Water in the stunning views of the River Lee, Earth in the urban resort’s hilltop location, Fire in the warmth of its Irish hospitality, and Metal in its contemporary design details.
As part of the launch, Bellevue Spa will introduce a new menu featuring Elemental Herbology facial and body products with treatments based on The Five Element Theory. Highlight treatments include a Five Element Aroma Facial bespoke to each guests skin and dominate elements, a Rose Hydrator Body Wrap to soothe parched skin, a Thai-Qi Flow Massage using acupressure techniques to restore energy flow and balance mind and body, and Ho-Leaf and Rosemary Muscle Melt combining essential oils with deep massage to unravel tension.
Every facial and body treatment will use a combination of signature techniques in order to address the impacts of busy, modern lifestyles. The new spa menu will complement The Montenotte’s existing wellness amenities, including the therapeutic Salt Room crafted from over 1,400 Himalayan salt bricks where guests can recline on plush chaise lounges and allow their bodies to absorb natural minerals, and The Motion Health Club with its 20-metre swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi.
