TORQUAY\u2019S iconic Saltair Spa has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame accolade in recognition of their consistently high standards of service.<\/p>\n
The certificate – allocated to only 10 per cent of businesses listed on TripAdvisor that maintain an overall rating of four out of five stars, surpass a minimum amount of reviews and have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months – joins an impressive list of achievements.<\/p>\n
Owner of Saltair Spa Tammy Melis said they\u2019d received six TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence awards in a row and maintained the top spot for best reviews in Australia Spas and Wellness Centres for a 17-month period across 2016-2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I saw Saltair for the first time, I knew that we could do what some people thought was impossible \u2013 create a luxurious destination day spa without losing the boutique feel that I was passionate about,\u201d Mrs Melis said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have never been a traditional \u2018spa girl\u2019 and my focus when starting Saltair was to take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. I wanted the environment inside and outside the spa to reflect this, where the pace slowed, and people could just \u2018be\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have absolutely achieved this, and while we have thousands of people visit us each year, they always comment on how peaceful and quiet the spa is. It\u2019s a skill we have mastered, and the relaxing vibe certainly spreads well beyond the treatment rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs Melis said she returned to Torquay her hometown in 2007 after a decade at Australia\u2019s leading health retreat Camp Eden and two years managing the Crowne Plaza Resort Spa.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was then that the opportunity to open a boutique destination day spa arose and Saltair Spa was born. When I first saw a Saltair Spa, it was located down a rickety track off the unsealed main road,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the location was challenging, it was also the selling point.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only did it boast rural and ocean views as far as the eye could see, but it was also located on land that my late grandfather and father had farmed for over 65 years, and I\u2019d spent time playing on as a child.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tammy and Saltair Spa will also be appearing on Channel Nine\u2019s Destination Happiness series airing from 9am until midday this Saturday (September 22).<\/p>\n
