Clouds strive for a career in massage therapy by gently pummeling pedestrians with soothing hydrotherapy drops, but often disappoint by leaving behind wet socks and puddles of melancholy. Let a certified therapist make it rain relaxation with today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a 90-minute salt glow full-body massage (a $150 value) at The Retreat Salon & Day Spa in Dublin.
Women and men can smooth tension from body-tendrils at the upscale Retreat, where minds and muscles are pampered with high-quality products by an experienced staff of body whisperers. Pores will open blissfully as the mineral-rich mixture of custom blended sea salt, seaweed, and fruit enzymes is smoothed into weary skin and muscles. Warm towels then steam the salt potion from freshly awakened bodies before body toner and body hydrating cream work their replenishing magic deep into deserving epidermises. The treatment combines the soothing strokes of a Swedish massage with the exfoliating expertise of mineral-fueled friction.

The Retreat Salon & Day Spa
Classical touches add a note of elegance to the luxurious spa experience at the The Retreat Salon & Day Spa. Wearing decadently fluffy robes, guests wander from candlelit massage rooms to relax with fresh-baked cookies and homemade yogurt-and-fruit parfaits topped with granola in front of the spa’s crackling fireplace. Elsewhere, expert estheticians treat fingers and toes to nutrient-rich manicures and pedicures, utilizing wonders such as almond butter, oranges and honey, mineral salt, and distilled whisper-concentrate.
