Once again we have had the wonderful massage therapist Wesley at our Select Collection Spa as guest therapist. He works at Dinarobin Resort & Spa in Mauritius, a long time partner for Select Collection.

We took the opportunity to invite some very special guests to an event where they were inspired by fantastic spa treatments as well as Mauritius as a wonderful travel destination.

Happy Clients

I just received a very nice mail from happy clients who had a beautiful vacation and
celebration in Thailand.
Excursion and Thai massages during the day and a special designed private birthday dinner on the beach in the evening.


Hej Leija och Linda!

Vi är sedan en vecka hemkomna från en strålande semester i Thailand.

Jag vill passa på att rikta ett stort tack för att ni ordnade så att hotellet arrangerade en fantastisk 30-årsdag för mig!
Hela dagen, och framförallt kvällen, var enastående!


Än en gång – Stort tack!!

Mvh

Boston - here we come!

I was visiting Boston for the first time and it was such a pleasant experience. I can also recommend the fast train from New York that takes you right into the city of Boston in 3.5 hours. If you travel first class you can buy the meal package which was pretty good.

Meeting up with Julia's lovely daughter Irina and her wonderful friends Henriette and Marit. They are all studying at the Boston University.

Best place in town!

I had an American meat loaf as main (so good) and who can resist an American Hot Fudge Sunday for dessert...( 5 spoons)
