The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach Debuts Eau Spa

Are you looking for a place to get fancy? Take time out and pay a visit to Eau Spa located in The Ritz-Carlton in Palm Beach. It will be an experience you won’t soon forget…

The $30-million retreat offers a distinct setting for adults to engage in a magical spa experience with its variety of sensational beauty treatments and surprising touches throughout. Eau Spa’s debut completes the recent transformations of more than $100 million of the AAA Five Diamond, Mobil Five-Star Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach resort.

Eau Spa is a glamorous retreat that allows guests to engage in magical spa experiences with a variety of sensational beauty treatments and surprising touches throughout. You can indulge in extravagant services like an amazing Platinum and Diamond Facial ($400 for 75 minutes) or a Elemis Hawaiian Wave Four Hands Massage ($280 for 50 minutes). And if you’re getting married, there is a special little spa treatment for you too.

The Self-Centered Garden invites you to lose yourself and abandon the rules of adulthood within the open-air sanctuary where nature twines with manmade imaginings. Relax on gently swaying swing chairs while trailing your feet in a pool of shallow water. As sundials tick to the clock of another world’s time, sunbathe while reading a book or just languish on waterfall benches as a warm embrace of falling water erases stress and tension from neck and shoulder muscles.

Play at the Scrub and Polish Bar and create a personalized blend of aromatic herbs, soothing oils and gritty sea salts. Twelve of the 19 Spa Villas offer a private escape in the peacefulness of the rich, natural surroundings. Three opulent Couple’s Villas provide an intimate experience far beyond treatments, with lavish garden enclaves, oversized tubs and outdoor rainfall showers for an open-air spa experience to cleanse one’s spirit and quench a thirst for sensuality.

I got the chance to review a little gift bag containing products used at the spa. My little goody bag consisted of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and a bar of soap, all in the Eau Spa signature scent which is Green Tea and Lemongrass.

I’m not a huge fan of anything green tea scented, but this was actually quite pleasant. I think the lemongrass and other natural ingredients really balanced it out and made for a heavenly sensory experience. The shampoo and conditioner was way nicer than anything I’ve seen come from a hotel! The bar of luxury soap lathered nicely and left my skin silky smooth and squeaky clean, without any residue or soapy feeling afterward (like some soaps do). And the body lotion was smooth and very moisturizing, not greasy at all. It soaked into my skin quickly and left a light scent which lasted long enough for me to forget why I smelled so good…

After a little pampering with their fine products, I felt like I had my own little spa session right in my own tiny bathroom! It was no diamond facial, but it was definitely a nice little treat for this busy mom!

Their products were just lovely and if I ever become rich and famous, I’m definitely going there for an afternoon of pampering and luxury.
