Since 2009 she has been in charge of a team made up of therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, beauticians, chiropractors, personal trainers, receptionists…

Laura Girón, manager of Oliva Nova Wellness Spa, with almost 15 years of experience, about knowing not only every corner of this space, but also the most cutting-edge beauty brands and the most avant-garde and effective cabin treatments. Together with a team of nine specialists, the spa manager works hard to ensure that the services offered every day are of exceptional quality and the results obtained have unbeatable effects.

 

When and how did you start working at Oliva Nova?

In 2003 I worked in the sales department for CHG Group. I was living in London and my duties were to market properties in Oliva Nova and Denia. Years later, at the beginning of 2006, I moved to Spain and started working heading the marketing department. In 2009 I took over the management of Oliva Nova Wellness Spa.

 

What type of experts are part of the wellness team? How many people make up the team?

At Oliva Nova Wellness Spa we work with a wide-ranging team to offer the best of services: three people in customer service and reception, three therapists, a physio, an osteopath, a beautician, and a chiropractor. On the fitness side, we have a personal trainer, and as for the day-to-day management, we have a person specialized in design and marketing. And me, as the manager.

 

What can we find right now if we visit Oliva Nova Wellness Spa?

Oliva Nova Wellness Spa has more than 900 square meters. On the one hand, the spa circuit offers water at a temperature of over 33 degrees, two cascades, a swan neck and a jacuzzi. Moreover, there is also a Finnish mixed sauna and a sauna exclusively for women, a Turkish bath, a contrast shower, a cube shower and a footbath with pebbles. On the other hand, there is a fitness area equipped with Technogym equipment; and on the other hand, an area with seven cabins in which different treatments are carried out.

 

Is the spa circuit open or do you guide guests by creating a customized plan?

The spa circuit has a guide so that guests fully enjoy their wellness experience. The starting point is the “heat phase”, at this point the basal temperature increases, perspiration takes place and our body’s heart rate increases. In order to achieve the benefits of having the temperature raised, it is essential to carry out a correct subsequent cooling process, either in dry cold, wet cold or humid cold.

This is where the “cold reaction phase” takes place, which produces a toning effect, reducing pain and relaxing the muscles. Finally, the circuit ends with a “relaxation phase” in which the body will experience a state of relaxation and psychophysical regeneration.

 

How does this circuit benefit people’s health?

The benefits of a good spa experience are numerous: it improves blood circulation, sleep quality and nervous tension, reduces muscle and joint pain, cleanses the airways helping to increase the amount of oxygen reaching the lungs, strengthens the immune system, relaxes, and reduces stress.

 

Are there any features that differs this spa from others?

For me there are two indisputable facts. The first, the great team of professionals behind it; and the second, the privileged location, the unique environment that defines Oliva Nova.

 

What are the most requested services?

Without any doubt relaxing and therapeutic massages, although beauty services such as facials, manicures and pedicures are increasingly in demand.

 

Oliva Nova is a resort visited by hundreds of sportsmen and women every year, are there any specific treatments for them? Which ones?

We do a lot of sports and therapeutic massages. For example, many riders who come to compete in the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour have a very strained lower back because of riding for hours on end. Our osteopath has been with us for many years and knows better than anyone how to treat this soreness.

 

Are there any plans to expand the spa facilities in the medium to long term and to add new services or improvements? Every year we try to introduce new features in all areas of Oliva Nova Wellness Spa, whether in the circuit, in treatments or in the fitness room. Recently we have made improvements to the relaxation room which have been very well received by our clients.

 

How can I access the wellness center facilities?

Everyone can access the facilities; all you need to do is contact the team and make a reservation in advance.

 

What about the fitness area?

We are open to the public all year round, from Monday to Sunday. In addition, every afternoon from Monday to Friday we have the services of a personal trainer, who designs fully customized exercise routines for all interested customers.
