Few internationally acclaimed resorts welcome guests into grand, oceanfront Italian villa-style surroundings with a Spa that’s been recognized with its own individual Forbes Five Star award. An industry gold standard meant for only the top global spas, the prestigious award recognizes the results-oriented treatments, attention to service, extraordinary guest commitment, unsurpassed therapist quality, and luxurious surroundings found in Acqualina Spa’s serene sanctuary. One of the Spa’s remarkable – and rather hidden treasures –is its gold-encrusted oceanfront Royal Spa Suite, where sheer decadence is complemented by unsurpassed privacy, starting with the lounge reserved exclusively for Royal Spa Suite guests.
The uber-luxurious Royal Spa Suite is designed for guests to break from everyday stress, relax on Fendi Casa furniture under a dazzling crystal chandelier and choose from three custom treatments for two with dedicated therapists. A private mother-of-pearl steam room, rainforest shower for two and private wrap-around balcony with infinity Atlantic Ocean views further the cocoon-like atmosphere and feeling of being in one’s own private world.
After treatments, guests can further pamper themselves in the Himalayan Salt Wall Relaxation Lounge or drift outdoors to the Spa’s concealed, oceanfront pool terrace. There, a heated jet pool and Roman waterfall spa lead to an afternoon of further stress relief and Vitamin D therapy. Exhale deeply and feel transported to another time – a sense of La Dolce Vita, where cares drift away after hours spent inside the magical Royal Spa Suite.
