Bonus: Guests are welcomed with a juice of the season. For the summer, we served chilled watermelon juice with lime and agave.

Journey of the Seas Ritual (Benefits: detoxifies, relieves stress, rejuvenates, and revives): Embark on a global journey across the seas, beginning with gentle breathing, and stretches to induce relaxation, followed by an exfoliating body buff using ground walnuts, almond oil, seaweed, and ginger. Warm poultices infused with herbal extracts are used to massage and release muscle tension. Continue sailing through the waters of relaxation with a simultaneous detoxifying lower leg wrap and soothing scalp massage to increase circulation and calm the mind and body. (120min/$580)
