Splurge Treatment: The Ultimate Massage is a unique two-hour treatment that allows you to choose from a wide range of modalities including deep tissue, Warm Himalayan stones, and aromatherapy. Adding a Skinceuticals Facial to that would be a perfect day for me!

Insider’s Favorite: If I had to choose, my favorite would be the Skinceuticals Alpha Beta Peel to rejuvenate and reset the skin right before summer.

Guests can enjoy a wide range of treatments in rooms with water views.

Most Unique Treatment: We offer an amazing Pure Fiji Sand and Sea Body Wrap. Performed under our Vichy Shower (an 8-headed horizontal shower), the therapist will remove all your dead skin with a soothing sugar rub that increases circulation and reduces stress. Feel the water gently massage you as a luxurious body butter is applied to rehydrate the entire body.
