Escape to Remote Destinations With These Unique Travel Experiences

Acqua Spa at O2 Beach Club & Spa is located on the eighth floor and offers 5,600 square feet of stunning space for relaxation with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the sparkling Caribbean Sea. The spa features the only Hammam treatment room on the island and its signature treatments are all inspired by healing through water. Guests can also experience personalized wellness journeys and treatments that further connect them to the healing powers of the ocean.

We interviewed Lisa Mayers, Spa Manager of Acqua, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

The resort has three unique swimming pools including a pool that is just steps away from the beach.

Why You’ll Love It: Acqua Spa features a spectacular view from the 8th floor overlooking the Atlantic Ocean— it boasts luxurious interiors with Calcutta gold marble, all white and grey with flecks of gold. Each step through your spa journey will have you catching your breath while smiling internally from the minute you walk through our door.

Guests can also enjoy spending time in the adult-only river pool with ocean views.

Key Features: The 5,600-square-foot, full-service Acqua spa offers panoramic, unrivaled ocean views and the design features a lot of muted colors such as grey and white marble so that guests can soak in the sparkling view from the eighth-floor location (very few spas offer views of the Caribbean Sea, so it was imperative to have that front and center).

Acqua features the only Hammam treatment room on the island of Barbados, and the spa's signature treatments, such as the Sea of Life Facial and the Earth and Sea Scrub, are all inspired by healing through water. Guests can experience personalized wellness journeys, and treatments offered in Acqua will utilize seaweed-infused OSEA products to further connect guests to the healing powers of the ocean.

Snacks Served: We will serve delicious energizing elixirs, fruit-infused water and seaweed salad, all chilled and waiting for you in our Tranquility Room.

Insider’s Tip: When booking, have a conversation with one of our friendly spa receptionists who will be more than happy to assist you with including a steam in our Hammam room to your spa service. This luxurious add-on is an utterly popular treat, so it is always wise to book way ahead of time.

Bonus: With each Acqua Spa Service you will receive a Foot Ritual—a grounding and purifying ritual to instill relaxation and inner calm while being gently introduced to your therapist’s healing touch. The feet are warmed, cleansed and nourished while pressure points that correspond to a full-body relaxation response are gently massaged.

The spa also features the only Hammam treatment room on the island.

Splurge Treatment: Our Ocean Skin Brightening Ritual is an 80-minute treatment that achieves glowing skin from head to toe! Passionfruit, hemp seed oil and açai boost the regenerative properties of a brightening body scrub before you are cozily cocooned in an illuminating sea algae and clay remineralizing body mask. While swaddled, a brightening vitamin C probiotic facial polish and white tea and resveratrol facial mask smooth and illuminate your complexion. Mineral peptides and hyaluronic acid lock in hydration, soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and leave skin plump and smooth. Includes: body scrub, brightening body mask, mini brightening facial, shower, face + body moisture.

Want more than one opportunity to splurge? Choose our 80-minute Vagus Nerve Meditative Massage. The Vagus Nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body reaching from the brain to the gut. It helps regulate stress, rest and digestion. This unique massage experience was created to activate the calming effects of the Vagus Nerve response via steaming aromatic compresses, gentle neck and body massage strokes, cranial holds and a soothing essential oil blend formulated to invite an uplifting, meditative state of consciousness. This precious essence of juniper, chamomile, lavender and jojoba works to mitigate feelings of stress, while stimulating positivity and well-being in the mind and body. Includes: warm compress, Vagus Nerve activation and Swedish massage.

Guests can soak in the sparkling view of the Caribbean Sea from the spa’s 8th-floor location.

Unique Treatment: Due to the confines of Covid-19 we created a package for couples and friends to enjoy. Lose yourself in our elegant Hammam room and take advantage of this self indulgent DIY treat that we have designed especially for you. Little pots of clay remineralizing body mask, brightening body scrub and Andara oil will be provided for you to nourish your body and spoil your soul.

The spa's signature treatments, such as the Sea of Life Facial and the Earth and Sea Scrub, are all inspired by healing through water.

Insider’s Favorite: We take great pleasure in recommending our 80-minute Undaria Body Contour: a blissful organic blend of algae, pumice, açai and Guarana polishes skin and purifies pores. A body mask loaded with healing skincare ingredients, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids supports your skin’s natural regeneration process and stimulates cell renewal. Melt away tension and cellulite with a deep tissue toning massage to break up stored toxins.
