SWIZZLE AWAY STRESS OR FLOAT ON OCEAN WAVES OF RELAXATION AT ELBOW BEACH, BERMUDA

10-23-2007

 

Hong Kong, October 15, 2007 -- In keeping with Mandarin Oriental’s innovative spa concepts, The Spa at Elbow Beach is introducing new Bermudian Treatments to its menu of holistic therapies.

Bermuda’s signature beverage, the Rum Swizzle, is now a Signature Spa Experience.  The Rum Swizzle Ritual. The cocktail’s fruity ingredients, including orange, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon and lime juices contain antioxidants that provide a number of healing properties for the skin. The experience begins with a Welcoming Foot Ritual, followed by a Pineapple Body Scrub that cleanses and rejuvenates tired, dry skin. Guests will then indulge in a Rum Swizzle Bath containing fresh lemon, lime and orange slices, while sipping on a Rum Swizzle Cocktail. The fresh lemon and lime juices soothe rough dry skin, while orange aids in healing blemishes and scars.  A therapeutic Full Body and Scalp Massage using Signature Mandarin Oriental Body Oil with grapefruit extract completes this refreshing experience.

The sandy shores of Elbow Beach are the inspiration and resource for the new Ocean Wave Ritual, a wonderfully relaxing spa journey. Pure Bermuda pink sand is used to exfoliate the skin, leaving it as soft and smooth as the sand feels between your toes on our beautiful beach. After showering, guests are transported to the rhythm of the sea with our Ocean Wave Body Massage. The therapist’s hands ripple gently over the body in wave like motions washing away stress and tension. A Silk Blue Marine Mud Wrap cleanses and renews the skin, while a scalp massage provides the final blissful touch for this Oceanside experience.

Debbie Baxter, Spa Director says, “Everyday we are blessed with the natural beauty, resources and rich culture of Bermuda.  In keeping with Mandarin Oriental tradition, we wanted to translate this into authentic spa experiences where guests can revel in things truly Bermudian.”

These signature spa experiences are priced at USD 480 each for three hours of treatment time, plus half an hour of complimentary relaxation time.
