At last summer has arrived...

We're having one of the best weeks of the summer so far, here are some pictures...

Gorgeous new product range at The Sail Lofts Ocean Spa

I’ve just come back from my first Elemis treatment at the spa and I’m feeling very refreshed and just a little too relaxed to be back at my desk (sigh).

Following the introduction of the new range of EIemis treatments and products I opted for the ‘Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow’ and it really was a lovely treatment. The lime and ginger scrub that is used during the treatment smells divine and my skin feels baby soft and looks smooth and glowing – it’s certainly beach ready, shame I can’t say the same for the weather!

The introduction of Elemis will complement the range of organic treatments currently offered by the spa and we’re very excited that we’re now able to offer our customers a choice between organic, natural therapies and results driven treatments from a world-renowned, British skincare brand.

Elemis have created a range of skincare products and treatments that combine natural ingredients with the advances in scientific research, which means they are good and they really work! After finding out that the Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream can reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by up to 78% in just 15 days my Mum has added this little beauty must-have to her daily skincare regime, and so far she’s rather impressed.

If you fancy treating yourself or you’d simply like to find out more about the Elemis range please contact the spa on 01736 448545.

Its rare to see Carbis Bay as white as this - it felt like we were going to get blown away!

Potential for a big sand castle!

A South Coast spot, not many know about it and those that do keep it quiet... Great spot for snorkeling and fishing - time for the OS map!

Let summer time begin!

As if by magic as the clocks sprung forward we were greeted with glorious weather, longer evenings and the best waves in weeks.


The smell of BBQs is back and shorts and flip flops are being fashioned across town! Summer is here for the moment, so don't forget the sun cream and we'll see you on the beach....
