Tranquility by the Sea

A day at the spa!

Ahhh…at last! I went to spend the afternoon at Tranquility by the Sea to experience their Total Tranquility spa package. Wow, what a treat it was! It was a 3-hour treatment that included their signature customized facial with a coconut lip and eye treatment, a Tahitian monoi oil full body massage with warm lava shells on the back, a sea salt hand and foot scrub with pineapple-coconut shea butter, and a cooling lime mint scalp massage. It was the most relaxing 3 hours I have ever experienced and I will certainly be going back!

The waiting area was clean and the staff was friendly. The service room was welcoming and lit by salt lamps which gave off a nice glow. Christina, my wonderful technician, was super friendly and she explained what the spa package included and made sure I didn’t have any allergies to the products she would be using. This is so important and can get easily overlooked so I really appreciated that. The table was very comfortable and the temperature was perfect.

I started by laying on my stomach and had a wonderful back massage. The warm lava shells felt amazing! Like many others, I tend to hold stress in my neck and also around my shoulder blades. She could certainly feel the knots so she gently worked them out and made sure the pressure was comfortable for me. I then turned over on my back and during the massage she did a few light stretches for my hips and shoulders, again making sure there was no discomfort.

She finished with a tingly mint shoulder/scalp massage and then we moved onto the facial and the and the hand/foot scrubs. She checked my skin type with a bright light (while safely covering my eyes) and then went and gathered her products. A robe was provided so I could have gotten up and walked around, used the restroom, gotten a drink of water or whatever but I decided to stay put. I didn’t want to get up off that cozy table!

She returned with her products and the magic began. The products were wonderful and not overly scented which I liked. I was super relaxed and don’t remember the exact order, but somewhere during all of this, I had a gentle foot scrub and warm booties and a soothing hand scrub with warm mittens. I wanted to take those warming things home but no luck! They felt so good!

And just like that my 3 hours was up! I’m telling you, if you ever need some relaxation in your life, go check them out. They offer gift certificates so if you need a holiday gift idea for someone local, I highly recommend Tranquility by the Sea. I left feeling like a million bucks! I deserve it and so do you! What are you waiting for?
