The St. Regis Spa at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort is one of few 5-star hotel spas in the country and is a tranquil oasis where guests can enjoy an atmosphere of serenity and opulence. It features a beautiful collection of art and sculptures throughout, which sets the stage for a renewed mood. The treatment menu offers an array of indulgent therapies ranging from rejuvenating facials and relaxing massages.

The Spa recently introduced a refreshed concept where numerous standout treatments have been crafted to put restoration first, including the signature Ayurvedic-inspired Abhyanga Treatment, which is designed to promote deep relaxation and sleep. After the treatment, the spa’s specialists provide guests with guidance on how to incorporate the Ayurvedic practice at home for self-care before bed, to ensure that they can experience deep relaxation on a daily basis.

Key Features: We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive range of amenities to enhance our guests' spa journey. What appears magical to our guests is actually carefully curated at multiple touchpoints—journey moments in space and time. From the moment a guest crosses the threshold into the Spa, carefully curated ambiance is delivered holistically to create a mood and enliven the senses. Guests experience unspoken transitions between all spaces of their seamless Spa journey through choreographed fragrance, patterned lighting changes, material variations, sound and silence.

  • Entrance and Reception: Art, sculpture, scent and sound set the stage for the dawn of a renewed mood before the guest even enters the spa experience. Guests immediately encounter a modern and elegant living space, a social spa experience with comforting residential touches. Guests receive unspoken personal care as they flow from one spa experience into the next, creating a seamless journey.

  • Dressing Rooms and Thermal Experiences: Privacy in a residentially appointed ambiance with luxury linens and the world’s finest products melds with the therapeutic haven of naturally soothing thermal experiences. These include a steam room, a sauna, and a hydrotherapy pool.

  • Relaxation Lounge: The home away from home feel is exemplified in the relaxation lounge, which serves as a hub and returning point connecting each of the main journey moment spaces. The space is warm, welcoming, and embraces the artistry, pageantry and fantasy of the original Iridium Room. A pantry with refreshments is always available for guests. Our Luminaries will be inspired through a variety of touch points including unique menu offerings that encourage genuine radiance.

Snacks Served: We offer a selection of refreshing infused water, herbal teas, and light, healthy snacks such as fruit platters alongside an assorted selection of healthy sweet and salty snacks. These treats are thoughtfully chosen to complement our guests' wellness journey at the spa.

Bonus: The evolved St. Regis Spa is given life through a defined set of six foundational truths—celebratory, bespoke, natural, sensorial, refined, and extraordinary—all working together to create an exquisite respite for today’s Luminary. As a special treat, guests at our spa are welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne, fresh-pressed juice, sparkling water or tea in the Spa lobby. It's a delightful way to begin their celebratory energy and relaxation experience, and to set the tone for a truly indulgent visit.

Insider’s Tip: The Spa’s six foundational truths—celebratory, bespoke, natural, sensorial, refined, and extraordinary—are meant to engage both curiosity and the senses, immersing guests in a world of unexpected delights. One insider's tip I can share is for guests to arrive a bit earlier before their scheduled treatment. This will give them ample time to unwind in our relaxation lounge, enjoy the spa amenities, and fully immerse themself in the tranquil ambiance before their treatment begins.

The Spa's amenities include a dry sauna.

Unique Treatment: As breathtaking and rare as the jewels Caroline Astor wore at her midnight suppers and gala events, one of our most unique treatments is the "24K Gold Wrap." Dazzling as it is, the experience starts with an invigorating full-body exfoliation using a strengthening colloidal gold sugar scrub. Followed by a gentle scalp massage, while the cleansing mask works to warm and detoxify the skin, guests indulge in a hydrating and harmonious hydro massage that leaves the mind deeply relaxed and the skin noticeably softened, hydrated, and radiant.

The spa also has a steam room for relaxation.

Splurge Treatment: For a truly indulgent experience, I highly recommend "The 400" from Caroline’s Collection. Paying homage to Caroline Astor, better known only as “Mrs. Astor” and her passion for innovation, refinement, and vibrancy—this collection of treatments is crafted from the very best experiences and ingredients to create distinguished and perfectly tailored experiences.

This opulent spa journey combines a customized face and body experience, and elegantly and stylishly combines the ingredients for a sensorial escape for mind and body. After a full-body reviving granita scrub smoothes skin, guests will drift away with an aromatic relaxing full-body massage. Continue the luxury with a triple active facial for youth, plumping, and radiance.

This revolutionary treatment captures the best of science and rare ingredients with instant, visible results to preserve the youth of the skin. A tightening bio-cellulose mask firms and Rose Stem Cells and Porcelain Flower Oil repair skin damage and leave a soft, dewy finish. A post-treatment home care gift is included to continue the benefits.

Guests can spend time in the hydrotherapy pool before and after their services.

Insider’s Favorite: While all our treatments are meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional experiences, one of my personal favorites is the "Abhyanga." This Ayurvedic treatment promotes deep relaxation through a rhythmic flow of warm aromatic oil over the forehead, scalp, and specific Chakra points to calm, balance, renew and reinvigorate the mind and body. Profoundly relaxing and balancing with light rocking strokes, this treatment is perfect to relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, fatigue, and headaches.

Guests can also enjoy a luxurious experience in the spa’s exclusive double suite.

Featured Brands: We are committed to using high-quality products to ensure the utmost satisfaction of our guests. We feature renowned luxury brands such as Omorovicza and Sothys, known for their exceptional formulations and proven results. The dynamic of Sothys mirrors The St. Regis Spa—cutting-edge excellence backed by legendary service.
