We interviewed Spa Director Jennifer Reich, who shared her favorite splurge treatments, unique services, and more:

One of Drift Spa’s most popular amenities is the Himalayan Salt Stone Sauna.

Insider’s Tip: A tip for everyone with weak, damaged nails from gel or acrylics or just day-to-day activities—you need to try the Spa Ritual Nourishing Vegan Nail Collection. It’s a one-step nail lacquer formulated with red tea and seaweed extract to help moisturize, strengthen and restore your nails’ natural beauty. Just pick a color—you don’t even need a base or a top coat. Just one step to newly nourished nails!

Spa Snacks: We have a Naturopathica Vitality Tea Bar with natural herbal teas and tinctures to promote skin radiance, relieve stress, restore sore muscles and enhance vitality. We also have a seasonal spa menu created by our Executive Chef, Ben LaFleche, that includes items such as Maple Ponzu Ahi Tuna Poke and Cold Ginger Poached Hainan Chicken Breast Mesclun Salad.

Unique Treatment: The Elemis Biotec Advanced Technology Facials, which include the unique fusion of pro-formulas, touch and technology. The Biotec machine has five different technologies in one machine: Ultrasonic, Microcurrent, Galvanic, O2 Infusion, and Light Energy.

Splurge Treatment: For the ultimate splurge, I recommend the Drift for Two Couple’s Massage. This treatment begins with a foot bath ritual in the Drift suite. While you soak your feet in the sweet birch bath salts, you will select your aromatherapy as you wish to inspire your mind, body, and spirit, all while sipping on glass of champagne. The treatment concludes with a customized full-body massage.

Insider’s Favorite: Our signature treatment, the Himalayan Salt Stone Massage, for 80 minutes.

Featured Products: Elemis, EmerginC Organics, Naturopathica, SpaRitual (nail products only).
