by: Luisa Frances Banta, Balesin Island Club Concierge and Store Manager

As the new year kicks off, many people set goals aimed at improving personal wellness and growth. And certainly, after a stressful 2020, everyone’s hoping to set a different tone for 2021.

Since we reopened Balesin in June of last year, more and more members have been returning to Balesin for a muchneeded escape in safe and secure surroundings.

Balesin Spa is Open!

After almost a year in which spa services were prohibited nationwide, people have really missed getting their massage treatments. So we have great news! Balesin Spa is now open and our signature massages are being offered once again, in full compliance with IATF regulations and with all of our spa therapists in PPE for enhanced safety.

Complete your next Balesin getaway with a well-deserved massage—rejuvenate and experience complete relaxation at the Balesin Spa.

Due to popular demand, our sister company, Aegle Wellness Center, now offers a variety of sessions on the island such as Yoga, Pilates, etc, every Saturday and Sunday for the entire year! If you didn’t have a chance to experience Aegle’s Serenity Series last year, this is your opportunity.

Sunny skies, pristine waters, and the calm ocean breeze— combine them with Aegle’s weekly wellness activities and it’ll be just what you need to achieve a better and healthier you in 2021.

What’s New?

On your next visit to the island, our newest restaurant at the Clubhouse—our German restaurant, Bürgerbräu Bierstube—is a must-visit! It’s a perfect place to bring family and friends to enjoy authentic German food and premium beers. Guten Appetit!
