Verbier is synonymous with Made in Chelsea, British royalty and the super-rich, who migrate to the Swiss ski resort every winter to take advantage of the photogenic scenery and the world-class slopes.
But for those in the know, Verbier is less about perfecting your skiing skills, and more about indulging in unparalleled luxury at the top of the world.
The W Verbier Hotel is a year-round favourite with the jet set, appealing to just about every type of Verbier visitor. For snow-lovers, you can ski in and out of the hotel and directly onto the slopes; party animals can easily access the clubs and bars of Place Blanche; while summer brings a whole host of detoxers who enjoy the good food, natural scenery, daily yoga and peaceful surroundings that the resort is famous for.
However, it is the 800 m2 AWAY Spa which really makes the W Verbier stand out, and convinces the A-listers to shun their private villas and hang out at the hotel.
The spa is a haven of peace and privacy, which is well versed in the needs of the après ski crowd. After an exhausting day on the slopes, book the spa’s signature AWAY massage, which is tailored for each individual’s needs. Or for amateur and semi-pro athletes, make time for a full body deep tissue massage – the only tonic for a long day of cross-country action.
For the VIPs who come to stunning Verbier to simply get away from ‘real’ life, the AWAY spa offers an array of glamorous body treatments, facials and beauty therapies.
This is the sort of place where you can expect your spa to include a sapphire salt scrub or a peridot wrap, followed by an anti-aging facial which features actual crushed diamonds and orchid extract.
For men, the options are no less luxe. Try the Jade Tonifying Care Facial which will make you look perfectly well rested, even if you have been skiing all day and partying all night.
The treatment list is short but effective. The AWAY Spa at W Verbier Hotel knows its clientele, and these treatments have been specially formulated to appeal to the most discerning customer.
+ Don’t miss… the AWAY Facial. The spa’s signature phytoblodermie products work to energise and balance your skin. This technology combined with the fresh Alpine air results in the glowiest skin you’ve ever seen.
