If the scenery and the wine country isn’t enough to completely relax you, maybe a spa will help. Belle Haven Spa unofficially opened in November on the grounds of Chaumette Winery.
The concept began with a series of conversations between Chaumette owner, Hank Johnson, and Dr. Joseph Sharlow of Ste. Genevieve, who owns Toni’s Medical Aesthetics and Day Spas.
General Manager Sandra Cabot said they shared a vision about a world-class destination spa as a unique attraction for wine lovers and overnight guests of the Villages of Chaumette which is currently under development. Johnson has leased the spa to Dr. Sharlow.
The 4,500 square foot spa will have a grand opening in January. Currently, the spa is open Friday through Sunday. For more information, call 573-747-1900 or visit http://www.bellehavenspa.com
Guests may choose from a variety of spa treatments including body wraps and scrubs, facials, massages, manicures and pedicures. There’s a spa sanctuary for relaxing before the services. There, customers can drink wine, water or herbal tea.
There’s private massage rooms or couple’s massage suites. There’s a far infrared sauna system by Sunlight Saunas. The spa has deluxe pipe-free pedicure spas.
Still under construction are a heated pool, pool-side cabanas, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a small exercise room and a restaurant, which will be similar to Grapevine Grill, with outdoor seating on the deck that wraps around the spa building. Eventually, there will also be a wellness provider for care such as guided hypnosis.
Cabot said Belle Haven is the only spa in the Midwest to offer facial and massage treatments which incorporate skincare products by Caudalie. She said the products are all based on the grape, vine and wine — the aroma and the antioxidants. The “vinotherapy” treatments are designed to balance, restore, and protect the skin against signs of premature aging.
Body wraps and scrubs start at $90. Spa facials range from $85 to $165. Massages are $95 for one hour. Manicures are $55 and pedicures are $65. They also do gentle soy-based hair removal. Then, there’s a bunch of specialty services from eyelash tinting and perming to permanent cosmetics. They also do bridal parties and mini-makeovers.
Spa treatments may be purchased in spa packages like “Couple’s Escape” or “Vineyard Bliss.” The Vineyard Bliss is $350. The package includes the spa facial best suited for your skin type, your choice of a Hot Stone or Swedish massage with aromatherapy, manicure/pedicure, 30 minutes of basking in the far infrared sauna suite, your choice of a spa lunch or an appetizer selection prepared just for you, and a $50 spa credit.
The development is ongoing and several villas should be complete and ready for rent by early spring.
According to the Chaumette Web site, Johnson is currently building 26 residential units in 14 separate buildings. The plan is to make it seem like a French colonial town from the 1780s — architecturally. The costs start at about $200,000 with a $210 monthly maintenance fee. Of course, they can recoup some of those costs by renting the units.
Those staying there will have access to the spa, swimming pool, and exercise room. They will have the opportunity to make their own wine if they want to rent a row or more of grapes in the vineyard. $$
