St. Maarten Launches New Promo for Spa Diversity

St. Maarten has a variety of spas, most of the luxurious spas are located on the Dutch side and can be found within hotels and resorts. However, those looking to experience spa services do not have to be guests of the various hotels to take advantage of the facilities.

The oldest spa on the island, L’Aqualigne was developed by cosmetologist and philosopher Marc Van Theilen, who incorporated science and natural alternatives into many of his treatments to promote external and internal beauty. One of the facility’s most beneficial skin care treatments is the “Facial Deep Cleansing.”

The skin is first brushed with an exhilarating cleanser, followed by a vapozone to soften and disinfect the skin for extraction. Next, a peel is applied as well as thermal stimulation with hot and cold gold-plated thermodyn. The facial is completed with a massage and nourishing mask. L’Aqualigne is located at the Pelican Resort Club.

The Christian Dior Spa at The Cliffs focuses heavily on youthful treatments and anti-aging products developed with cutting-edge ingredients and technologies including the state of the art micro-abrasion treatment to smooth, stimulate, tone and re-oxygenate the skin.

The programs of the Dior Beauty Institute are matched with the Balneotherapy facility which offers water-therapy treatments, exclusive masks and massages as well as saunas and an indoor jet pool.

Some of the Christian Dior Spa treatments include “Eternal Radiance,” an anti-dark spot treatment; “Anti-Cellulite Offensive,” for defining the waist and stomach or legs and buttocks; and the “Detoxifying Mask,” a special blend of draining seaweed that helps remove toxins.

The Good Life Spa at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino features a “Pre-Natal Massage” and “Mother-To-Be & New Mom Package. Guests are also afforded a choice of two different treatments geared toward men such as the “Men’s Energizing Body Treat” or the “Men’s Energizing Facial.”
