JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED
SPA RELIEF IN ST. LUCIA
Men
and women both chose massage as their favorite spa treatment followed by a sea
salt wrap for women and a facial for men, according to a recent Spa Report from
the Jalousie Hilton Resort & Spa on St. Lucia. The spa is the newest and most comprehensive on St. Lucia and
possibly the largest in the Caribbean.
The
reports revealed that the top three reasons women seek spa treatments are to
relieve stress, sore muscles and depression. The top reasons men seek spa treatments are for their sore muscles,
stress, and curiosity. The main
reactions to the treatments for both men and women are relaxation and
sleep. Women are generally more relaxed
than men who are often self-conscious or at least not totally relaxed. Because of their self-consciousness men tend
to talk more during treatment.
The
Spa at Jalousie, one of the largest spas in the Caribbean, is located on a
rainforest hilltop high above the main resort buildings. There are seven treatment rooms, a spacious,
air-conditioned fitness and aerobics room, and an outdoor massage area called
"The Edge." A Sun Splash Deck
and a plunge pool provide dramatic views of the emerald green Petit Piton and
the tranquil waters of Jalousie Bay.
The
Spa at Jalousie offers daily treatments including a variety of massages,
facials and skin care treatments, body scrubs, body wraps and facials masks.
