    Must do Spa Expereience
    So Spa is the must do Spa experience of Queenstown. I visited for a deep tissue massage while holidaying. The staff are friendly and professional and the spa has beautifully appointed decore and is a relaxing atmosphere. My Deep Tissue massage was perfection, my therapist ensured it was the right amount of pressure and was extremely well trained. I only wish I had been staying longer to try out more of their treatments. I highly recommend So Spa.

    World class spa experience
    On a recent trip to Queenstown I stayed at the Sofitel and booked a Pure Indulgence spa treatment the day after arrival. I wasn't sure what to expect, reviews seemed good and the photographs made the facility look inviting. On the morning of the spa, I made my way from my room on the 4th floor to the dedicated lift at the end of the corridor which takes you directly down to the spa reception. I was immediately warmly greeted by Alessandra, who offered me a refreshment and warm towel after I had completed the new client form. The treatment room was pleasantly warm, with soothing relaxation music playing and the delicate aroma of an intangibly delicate scent in the air. I had booked a full body scrub and massage which took place on a comfortable massage table covered with beautifully soft large white towels. I had chosen a manuka honey scrub which was a a top to toe experience and absolutely amazing. After this I was treated to the best massage of my life, and I have had many. Alessandra is a highly experienced and talented masseuse, whose petite stature belies the strength of her hands. She knew exactly the points which needed particular focus and worked away, leaving me feeling both invigorated and utterly relaxed at the same time. It was a wonderful experience, so much so that I went back for the same again two days later and have planned another trip to Queenstown for my birthday in a few weeks time and will be returning for further pampering at SoSpa Sofitel Queenstown. Bravo for offering an excellent service in a wonderful setting.

    Awesome, as always!
    Managed to make two visits to the So Spa whilst staying at the Sofitel. Thank you to all of the staff for an amazing set of treatments on both visits. Loved each of the different treatments/experiences including Hammam Steam, Greenstone Massage, Ataahua Treatment & Healing Facial. Absolutely highly recommend a visit when in Queenstown.

Amazing service
We had facials here and whilst on the upper end of pricing $169 pp the atmosphere and ambience was well worth it. We were also invited to use the steam room at no charge before our facial. Organising the facials for 3 of us was down with ease via email and staff were very accommodating

Amazing, relaxing and calming experience. A well qualified massage, better than a physiotherapist. I was encouraged to slow down.

Lovely spa. Delicious scents, professional staff and relaxing atmosphere. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars was the rowdy steam generator in the steam room.

The whole experience was amazing, so relaxing and felt like you're own private spa.

The messages me and my fianceé had were some of the best we've had.
