Unique Treatment: Our Deep Sea Undaria Massage is the true Seawater Spa experience. Guests will experience nourishing effects during this lulling Swedish Flow massage with wild lime essence OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil or the rich, anti-aging, intensely moisturizing Undaria Algae Body Butter. The session ends with a beautifully crafted cranium therapy involving an Undaria serum face massage and our unique, warm seaweed-gel scalp massage.

Insider’s Favorite: My personal favorite is the Therapeutic Fusion Himalayan Salt Stone Massage. This massage incorporates relaxing Swedish, therapeutic Deep Tissue, and warming Himalayan salt stones. Soothing rhythms and varying pressures combine to calm the mind while stimulating circulation and easing long-held muscle tension. This service is only done in our gorgeous salt room on a Saltability salt table. You can instantly feel the healing effects of this room as you take your first breath upon entering.

The treatment menu at Seawater Spa includes seawater and marine-based therapies, advanced skincare, and therapeutic bodywork.
