Summer Elisabeth Luxury Day Spa gets a glow-up.
Winter is the perfect time for a little R&R, but that doesn’t mean you have to be MIA. Summer Elisabeth Luxury Day Spa has just had a glow-up and wants to help you too to shine this season.
Tucked inside the Phoenician Resort in Broadbeach, Summer Elisabeth Luxury Day Spa has been pampering guests for a decade. But in June this year, a fresh chapter began with Ruth Marian Kippax at the helm.
Ruth’s evolution into a respected name in luxury spa and wellness is marked by an extraordinary journey. From supporting refugees as a psychotherapist to leading national programs for new Australians, she’s always been driven by passion and purpose.
Ruth launched her first business in Fiji, and in response to the challenges of the 2020 pandemic, transitioned into a leadership role overseeing the marketing and operations of the luxe Radisson Blu Mirage Resort development on Naisoso Island. Across every chapter, from psychology to luxury hospitality, there’s been a common thread: understanding human needs and crafting experiences that uplift. This latest chapter brings it all together.
Ruth said, “Owning a wellness spa has long been my dream, uniting expertise in human well-being with luxury hospitality.”
Summer Elisabeth Luxury Day Spa carries a distinctly Greek feel thanks to its connection with the Phoenician Resort, but subtle renovations are underway to create a Greek-goddess meets Zen-master vibe.
This spa isn’t just about facials and foot rubs. It’s a sanctuary where women can rest, reconnect and feel truly cared for. Introducing innovative treatments and concepts not commonly seen in Australia, it’s a space where inner beauty meets science and nature. Guests don’t just walk out with glowing skin, they leave feeling uplifted and absolutely fabulous.
Not sure where to begin? Why not start at the top, literally. The Japanese Head Spa is a dreamy blend of ancient techniques and modern wellness, delivering scalp-to-soul relaxation. This dreamy ritual detoxifies the scalp, encourages healthy hair growth, and melts away mental tension with every soothing touch.
Looking for that extra sparkle from your spa treatment? The spa packages here are named after precious jewels like Emerald, Ruby and Jade, that’ll leave you feeling as polished as a gem.
The Opal Spa journey is a heavenly head-to-toe experience featuring body exfoliation, full-body massage, hydrating facial, foot treatment and scalp therapy.
The Diamond Spa journey is the ultimate indulgence with a bespoke combo of body scrub, full-body massage, deluxe facial, foot and hand treatment, spa lunch and scalp ritual.
Enhance your experience with Medi Spa and beauty therapies designed to help you feel like the best version of you.
Time to fire up the group chat because Summer Elisabeth Luxury Day Spa has gorgeous group packages perfect for your whole crew to unwind in style. Plus, there are specialised pregnancy treatments for those expecting a little extra pampering. From besties to mamas-to-be, everyone’s cared for.
And because your nervous system doesn’t take a day off, neither does Summer Elisabeth Luxury Day Spa, which is now open seven days! That’s what we call next-level self-care.
