Lighter. Clearer. More like yourself again.
Ask any guest on the way out and you'll hear the same three things. 'I feel lighter.' 'My head is so clear.' 'I had no idea I was holding that much.'
Softer hair and a calmer scalp are part of it. The real reason guests rebook is what happens in the days afterwards. Calmer. Less reactive. Sleeping properly. More like the version of themselves they remember being.

What Gold Coast guests
actually say.
I can’t find the words to express how relaxing my visit to La Vela was. Alice - my therapist, was welcoming and professional, she tailored each moment of the treatment to my preferences. Her massage was impeccable, I genuinely thought it couldn’t get any better… AND THEN the actual head spa began. You think it looks good in the photos and videos online, but there’s no words to describe how great it actually feels. I will 100% be back, thank you!
I just had my appointment with La Vela - it was honestly one of the most relaxing experiences I’ve ever had. … The combination of gentle scalp massage, warm water therapy, and soothing techniques completely melted away any stress. It felt like a full reset for both my mind and body. My scalp felt so clean and refreshed afterwards, and my hair was noticeably softer and healthier.
After a truly stressful few weeks it was above and beyond my expectations. 2 hours of total relaxation the gentle scalp massage, gentle movements, aromatic scents and warmth of the water set the scene for me to relax like never before. I truly felt like I floated away to a place of pure relaxation. I have gone to head spas before but this is just on another level.
Before you book
The questions everyone asks.
Imagine a deep massage, but focused entirely on your head, scalp, neck and shoulders, in a dark, quiet room that smells incredible, on a bed with warm water flowing over your scalp. Most guests leave feeling lighter than they have in months. Some fall asleep. Some don't realise how much tension they were holding until it finally lets go.
At La Vela Palm Beach, head spa rituals range from $245 for the 70-minute Exhale Ritual to $495 for the 140-minute Serenity Ritual. Our most popular, the 90-minute Renewal Ritual, is $295. Every ritual takes place in your own sensory room, on a Yume head spa bed with its own warm waterfall, using organic products. Nothing is rushed.
It depends on your scalp, hair and wellness goals. We will give you a personalised recommendation during your session. Most guests settle into every 2 to 4 weeks. First-timers typically rebook within seven days.
Absolutely, and most of them need it more than they realise. Our Gentleman's Ritual is the exact same environment, technique and product as every other La Vela ritual. No compromises, no awkwardness.
Yes. Our Bloom Ritual is designed specifically for expectant and new mums, gentle, calming, and recommended during the 1st and 2nd trimester, up to 20 weeks. As our head spa beds require you to lie flat, guests beyond 20 weeks should check with their doctor or midwife before booking.
No. Come exactly as you are. Dry, styled, or three days unwashed. The cleansing phase is part of your ritual.
