Spa Executive | Issue 11 | October 2019

“Inspired by a deep sense of place, the colourful
stories of Braemar, and the dramatic landscape of
the Cairngorms, the hotel brings together a
profound respect for local history, a love of nature
and strong sense of community.”
The Albamhor Spa is created by interior designer
Russell Sage along with Spa Vision, which
supplied and installed the bespoke sauna,
treatment tables, and associated equipment.
Colin Cameron, director at Spa Vision, said in a
statement, ”The Fife Arms holds considerable
history and a defining place in the local area. For
this reason, the attention to detail and precision
has been unwavering. The Albamhor Spa is a
stunning addition to the hotel facilities and we are
delighted to have played our part in bringing the
designers’ vision to life.”
Albamhor is the ideal place to “unwind and to
restore, revive and relax body, mind and spirit.”
Products have been selected to embody The Fife
Arms ethos of providing a unique Scottish
Highland experience while respecting guests’
health and wellbeing along with the environment.
Signature treatments include a Restorative Full
Body Massage for which therapists use a blend of
massage techniques to target specific areas of the
body, tailoring the treatment to a guest’s individual
profile. According to Albamhor, “The therapeutic
movements stimulate the blood flow, helping to
repair key muscle fibres, restoring optimal
movement and flexibility to those areas in need of
physical and energetic renewal.”
Other signatures include a Relaxing Full Body
Massage employing bespoke selected blends of
aromas with a mix of light massage techniques to
help ease states of physical and mental
exhaustion; and the Fife Foot Ritual, which
includes a soak and “a luxurious scrub with ishga
Sea Salt scrub followed by a relaxing and
therapeutic massage to the lower legs and feet.”
This treatment can be enhanced with “a
detoxifying ishga Seaweed & Salt warm poultice to
reduce inflammation and ease those tired
muscles.”
