Allure Babor Beauty Spa

Allure has been a beauty institute in the centre of Ostend for about twenty years. Run by Ann, it works exclusively with the German brand BABOR, and its body treatments were developed with BABOR SPA, which makes it one of the few places in town with a proper day-spa menu.

The Spa Moment is the treatment to book for a relaxing afternoon: two hours of body peeling, a relaxing massage and a facial, adapted to the season. There are shorter rituals too, such as a peeling with a body wrap and massage, or a body peeling with a relaxing massage, as well as a classic hot stone massage. The flagship facial is the Skinfusor treatment, which works in four steps with a different device for each.

Every treatment plan starts with a skin analysis, and new clients can book a first facial that includes a camera skin scan. A duo cabin means you can book treatments side by side with a partner or friend. Booking is online.

Note that the institute is being renovated: appointments from 28 September take place at a temporary address, Witte Nonnenstraat 53, and some treatments are not available in the meantime. Check the booking page for details.
