cutting-edge wellness center to fresh eats at the water’s edge. The spa mixes Western, Eastern, alternative, and aesthetic medicine for custom treatment plans tailored to each guest. Amazing Amenities: Get ready for your R&R with the thermal hydrotherapy circuit, designed to stimulate circulation, relieve pain, and decrease stress. Make time for the experiential rains, the crystal steam room, igloo, and vitality tub. Must-Try Treatment: The Carillon has been gaining traction for its touchless spa menu, which originally launched in 2020 to help visitors and resort members feel more comfortable returning to the spa setting during the pandemic. The menu now boasts 15 options catered to each visitor’s desired goals, from mediation to fat loss. A few favorites include The Somadome, the world’s first technology-enabled mediation pod that uses color, sound, and energy therapies to help guests reach a meditative state. Another is Dermashape, which shapes, sculpts, and flushes stored fat and toxins using a heating pad to release stagnant lymph fluid. (carillonhotel. com) —Melissa Puppo
With a property as lavish and historic as the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, it only makes sense that its Lapis Spa extends such grandeur. Let stunning ocean views set the scene for a day of pampering as you partake in relaxing massages, soothing facials, body wraps, and more. Amazing Amenities: Before your treatment, take advantage of the amenities including Water Journeys ranging from a 75-foot, multi-temperature jetted pool to a eucalyptus steam bath to the Bleau Rain Room, where multiple jets massage your body with streams of warm and cool water. A spa wristband grants you access to the beach and the property’s 11 pools for post-spa bliss. Must-Try Treatment: Anything from the Ayurvedic Ritual menu. Derived from Sanskrit, ayurveda means “life and knowledge” and is one of the world’s oldest healing methods. A top choice is the Chakra Balancing Massage, which restores balance and inner tranquility. The body’s seven chakras (or “energy centers”) are anointed with herbal-infused oil and chakra-specific crystals to soothe your mind and spirit. The massage utilizes a Kansa wand on your back to help oxygenate the body as well as drain lymph nodes. The experience concludes with a foot treatment using a Tiscah bowl.
