All the information about Spa, Coffee and Chocolate: A Unique Spa Experience. Spa, Coffee and Chocolate is a treatment complex in the settlement of Ben Yehuda in the southern Golan Heights. It includes several treatment rooms, a jacuzzi, a dry sauna, and a hospitality area for light refreshments and getting ready (because even during the wait for your massage you have chocolate available!). At Spa, Coffee and Chocolate, we gathered all the information about the benefits of making use of the wonders that nature gave us—for facial skin, cell renewal, blood circulation, and more. You can choose from a menu of treatments and massages based on chocolate, coffee, honey, and more, and of course you can also choose from "traditional" massages given by licensed, professional masseurs with a cumulative experience of over 30 years. Akiva and Enal, winners of The Million Race, arrived at Spa, Coffee and Chocolate: a variety of packages tailored individually for individuals, couples, and groups. As part of the sweet pampering, you can find treatments using rich, special, and enriching materials such as: a chocolate massage, coffee peeling, honey and wine wrapping, a honey and milk massage—and the list goes on. For the traditionalists among you, there are also classic massages with aromatic oils. In addition to the variety of treatments, you can sweeten the experience even more with light refreshments made purely from chocolate, including: chocolate fondue, cookies, marshmallows, seasonal fruits, and hot drinks. More at Spa, Coffee and Chocolate: a large hall that is closed only for you, with a large jacuzzi and a dry sauna, robes, towels, spa slippers, a wood stove, and an exit to the garden with a comfortable seating area.
