ONSITE

The Spa by Asha
Melt into the hands of our professional therapists at the The Spa By Asha, featuring a wide array of restorative and re-energizing treatments ranging from rejuvenating facials to relaxing massage therapy. Each spa service includes an aromatherapy foot bath to ensure that each guest leaves feeling absolutely revitalized and pampered. Enjoy these services in one of the three private treatment areas or in the comfort of your guestroom or suite.

In-Room Treatments
Those who indulge in an in-room spa service will be treated to Asha's Purifying Shower Ritual. Guests will be asked to step into a steamy shower and first apply a rich, aromatic body cleanser to leave the skin lush and renewed. Then, they will exfoliate with a softening blend of sugar cane and jojoba oil which will prepare the skin for the nourishing body cr?me the therapist will lather into their skin while being massaged.

After the Shower Ritual, guests return to their room and enjoy its transformation into a private spa haven, dimly lit with a signature Aveda candle that infuses an exotic, sweet and spicy aroma. Other perks during the in-room treatment include a skin toning, customizable aromas and a warmed massage bed with 300 thread count sheets.

Specialty Services
The menu at The Spa includes several standouts, including the Triple Moisture massage that pampers guests with essential oils, composition and hydrating lotions to moisturize using a combination of acupressure, effleurage and deep-tissue massage. The Asha Massage allows guests to personalize a blend of pure plant and flower essences and includes a Stress-Relieving Scalp Treatment, while a Tourmaline Charged Radiance Facial uses the finely powdered energizing mineral to amplify the performance of the treatment's other ingredients. Other rarefied experiences include a Neti Massage to relieve sinus pressure and a Hydrating Belly Treatment for mothers-to-be using natural botanicals to prevent stretch marks.
