Mecca brings Gwinganna treatments to its Sydney store

One of Queensland’s most exclusive health retreats is offering a taste of its signature treatments in the heart of the Sydney CBD. 

Mecca’s George Street flagship, which is the largest beauty store in the Southern Hemisphere, recently launched two curated treatments from Gwinganna as part of its luxurious ‘exclusive services’. 

Gwinganna is a celebrity-beloved retreat nestled in the Gold Coast Hinterland and is known for its incredible spa which was the winner of the World’s Best Eco Spa in 2020; they are the only Australian spa to ever receive the international award. 

Both of the treatments, which are carried out in private Service Suites on level one of the luxurious store, are conducted by two of Gwinganna’s most in-demand therapists and cost $250 for 80 minutes.

The first, the Mecca x Gwinganna Pure Tranquility,  is taken straight from the retreat’s menu and is described as a ‘grounding and cleansing journey for the body and the busy mind to help gently release deep layers of stress, fatigue and anxiety’. 

‘Using a fusion of esoteric practices and localised massage techniques, this rebalancing treatment includes a warm foot bath, energy cleansing, Indian head massage, body reading and chakra awareness,’ the description reads.

It is recommended especially for those suffering from ‘heartbreak, an extreme mental load, an all-encompassing job or anything that’s left you feeling life a shell of yourself’.
