| - The Qua Spa served as the perfect oasis for my girlfriends and I to recooperate from the previous night, relax, and chat.
Roman Baths
The Roman baths room was constructed of pure white marble illuminated by dimmed, tungsten lighting and rows of giant curved lounge beds. It had three separate Roman baths at varying temperatures that were bubbly and and surrounded by waterfalls that were loud enough to drown out private conversation but quiet enough to create a soothing soundtrack for our peaceful afternoon of "social spa-ing". There was an assortment of fresh fruit platters, water flavored with slices of fruit, tea, and magical little peppermint soaked wash cloths chilled for an extra refreshing effect when you put it on your face while you soak. There were also lounge chairs that were available in case anyone wanted to take a nap or just rest up from the previous night's festivities.
Roman Rituals Rooms
Three rooms designed for three different environments: an herbal steam room, a cedar wood sauna, and an arctic ice room. The steam room was similar to any other steam room with one great difference: the steam was infused with herbal goodness. My skin felt detoxified, cleansed, refreshed, and sosmooth after. The cedar wood room too was like any other sauna but not devastatingly hot and had a great woody scent. My favorite was the arctic room which was unlike anything I've ever seen before. It was a cold room that snowed little "snowflakes" of moisturizer. There were heated seats to keep you warm, but after a session in the sauna we actually did not need them.
Also worth mentioning is the tea program where sommeliers prepared fresh cups of blended house tea at any given time. Loved it!Clothing is optional, and I would recommend any spa experience sans clothing since skin dries faster than material, but fear not modest Betty's! They provide luxe bathrobes that may be placed in a warming closet. We took advantage of the personal showers and fully stocked vanities with provisions such as hair blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons, toothbrushes and toothpaste, lotions, shampoos and the like. They close at 8pm, which is perfect timing for dinner and then a night out.
We had an amazing time and will be back.
