SPA STRUCK (Yi Spa - Berlin) |
Sunday, 23 July 2006 |
The plush amenities of a celebrity rehabilitation centers can be yours, without the lawyer fees of a public DUI. Though its not the "rehab" you may be thinking, Yi-Spa in Berlin will have your mind and body rejuvenated in no time, leaving your stress addictions behind.
The site opens with a cryptic passage from writer Khalil Gibran, "I had a second birth when my soul and my body loved one another and were married." Though we're not entirely sure how this relates to facial exfoliation and full-body massages, the feel-good vibe is there, and we'll follow it.
Yi-Spa continues down its unconventional path with eye-opening architecture and interior design. Instead of puritanical white, designers infused bright color (hot pink no less) into the spa's interior - a refreshing change from the stark, minimalist-inspired interiors that characterize most spas. Hard wood floors and white walls contrast with hot pink screens and curtains and dome shaped lighting.
For the high-strung Berliner in your life, you can purchase a "Feel-Good-Schien" loosely translated as a "license to feel good," – or as we say in the States, a gift certificate. By L. Harper
