WELLNESS

For the zenith in relaxation and stress relief, there is nothing quite like a day at the spa. When you’re in Fort Lauderdale for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, a spa day is exactly what you might need on an off-show day to de-stress and just be.

We have highlighted five of Fort Lauderdale’s most sumptuous spas providing sustenance for your soul as well as for your body:

The Ritz-Carlton Spa

This upscale spa has taken inspiration from its oceanic surroundings, pulling from nature to offer luxurious spa treatments. Specialties include using the power of citrus to rebalance, detoxify and cleanse. This full-service spa includes a hair and nail salon and boutique where you can purchase elite items to continue the experience at home. Some of the most popular services here include:

• The Cleansing Ceremony. An uplifting journey using cleansing and detoxifying ingredients to leave your body and spirit feeling totally uplifted. Circulation is promoted through a full body exfoliation using iced mitts followed by a lymphatic drainage massage to help your body expel toxins.
• Intuitive Ocean. The ocean provides so many healing benefits and this treatment uses sea salts to re-mineralize and smooth your skin. Then, you’re wrapped comfortingly in nourishing, warm marine mud.
• Rebalancing Citrus Spring. A citrus scrub along with a full-body stone massage is truly relaxing, warming, calming and grounding. This treatment rebalances and soothes the mind by using mandarin and orange oils.

The Spa at Auberge Beach

Therapists perform indulgent body therapies indoors or at oceanfront garden cabanas at this luxury spa. Elements of the sea, salt, sand, and sound flow abundantly at the new Spa at Auberge Beach, where a sense of “vitality revived” is at the heart of each wellness treatment. Here, indigenous ingredients, tropical elements, and results-driven rituals come together alongside pristine beach views. Here is some of what you can experience here:
