Mandara Spa, located at the Marriott Ocean Club has been pampering visitors and locals with a blend of three health and beauty philosophies: traditional spa approaches including massage, facial, scrub and wrap techniques; materials and treatments from Mandara's roots in the Balinese and Southeast Asian traditions; and a strong influence of the southern Caribbean, including ideas adapted from Aruba's indigenous people, with the frequent use of Salt & Aloe.
As if all this was not enough, Mandara just launched a new menu of services on September 1st. On the occasion of the launch Ms. Leslie Cordillo, a corporate-trainer based in Miami, spent much time on the island training and training.
Under Leslie's quiet, serene leadership the very accomplished therapists at Mandara took wellbeing and gentle touches a few notches higher. Considerable amount of time was spent on perfecting the ultimate treat, the Mandara four hand massage which requires careful timing and total synchronization.
The four hand massage is a Mandara Spa signature treatment, says spa manager Ella Perrotte, and it offers a new, elevated dimension in body-care. "Our visitors," explains Perrotte, "come to us stressed and in need of recharging." "The spa experience," she adds, "delivers the desired body-soul connection, and restores and replenishes emotional and physical resources."
Perrotte and her cadre of professional therapists operate a place of beauty and relaxation in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The 16,500 square-foot spa includes four VIP treatment rooms for couples with extra-large Jacuzzi baths or Vichy shower, plus eight individual treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, steam rooms, Jacuzzi baths; nail salon, and a VIP hair salon.
With over 650 spas worldwide and on luxury liners Mandara offers total care including some new services designed to bring dramatic results in just one session among them teeth whitening, facial microdermabrasions, glycolic peels and the new Elemis aroma spa ocean wraps, which are truly outstanding detoxifying, invigorating and rejuvenating treatments.
Elemis made with all natural ingredients, in the UK, is the line of healing, soothing, pure aromatherapy used by the spa for all therapies and it is available for sale at the boutique. Also new at Mandara the mother & daughter paradise massage, father & son chill out massage, and the fake bake, besides a complete menu of services for teens on vacation, the YSPA, for the Y generation . . .
