Sunsail Club’s Club Colonna is opening the doors of its new spa in June.  The Serenity Spa will re-emerge with four new air conditioned treatment rooms, a hair salon, sauna, steam rooms and relaxation area and the introduction of the award- winning Elemis product range. A menu of pure indulgence awaits guests with treatments including Reiki, Shiatsu and acupuncture.

Curtain Bluff will also be opening a new spa in October 2006 with a beauty salon and five treatment rooms, one of which will be a couple’s room with twin whirlpool tubs for wet treatments.  The spa will be located on the side of the bluff with unobstructed views of the calm beach.

Blue Spa, located at the chic and serene Carlisle Bay, www.carlislebay.com, is situated in its own two-storey Caribbean pavilion providing five single treatment rooms and a luxurious couple’s massage room all of which have been designed with colour therapy lighting.  In January 2006 Blue Spa introduced Aromatherapy Associates products and treatments to its spa menu in addition to the Living Nature’s Spa Therapy range that is also available.  Aromatherapy Associates use 100% pure and natural plant oil with no added colour or synthetic preservatives. 

Blue Spa has four signature treatments: the Blue Spa Well Being Massage, the Aromatherapy Associates Facial, the new Tropical Fruit Scrub using fresh Antiguan grown pineapples, mangoes and papayas, and Living Nature’s ‘Soul Food’ which includes a body polish, a body mask and a full body massage.
