The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale Unveils New Destination Spa
Along with the rejuvenated design, a new menu of custom treatments, and ESPA products have been added to further elevate the experience. Helmed by New York City firm Dash Design, the new 8,500-square-foot destination spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale now features a new steam room, sauna and a full-service salon, making it the first beachfront full-service spa in Fort Lauderdale.

DESTINATION SPA TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale now offers 11 treatment rooms including a private couple's treatment suite and private massage areas as well as Jacuzzis on the seventh floor tropical pool deck. The spa boasts a state of the art fitness center with Technogym cardiovascular and strength equipment and an intracoastal water view. The all-new marble and mosaic tile wet areas include a steam room, wet room and sauna. The spa's full service hair, manicure and pedicure salon is available for hotel guests and locals alike, ideal for blowouts, bridal parties and more.

“The experience working with ownership and The Ritz-Carlton brand to elevate and revitalize the spa was a very positive and collaborative one,” said Principal of Dash Design, Paula Azevedo. The innovative design firm was challenged with bringing life to underutilized space in the former spa allowing for more guest services. The upgraded spa compliments the aesthetics of the oceanfront with tones of aqua and greens layered into the design.

The re-imagined destination spa will serve as a secluded oasis for those seeking to unwind in luxurious style for all beauty and wellness needs. The newly crafted treatment menu with ESPA products speaks to the destination of Fort Lauderdale with nods to the native tribes that inhabit the area, the calming ocean and the state's beloved Florida oranges. Innovative treatments such as the Cleansing Ceremony which provides the same benefits as a three day juice cleanse, the Rebalancing Citrus Spring which offers a local citrus scrub and calming stone massage or the Biodynamic Facial using products harvested based on the phases of the moon are custom and exclusive to the new spa.

FALL ACTIVITES

To celebrate the enhancements, the spa has introduced a “Spumpkin Package” where guests have the opportunity to pick from the spa's very own “Spumpkin Patch.” After picking a pumpkin, the spa therapist cuts, prepares and incorporates the freshly picked pumpkin into the custom scrub. Next, guests will relax with a full-body pumpkin exfoliation, followed by a hydrating body wrap and a 25-minute, targeted pumpkin massage. For those who cannot get enough of the fall, this package also includes an 80-minute Cranberry Manicure and Pedicure and complimentary hair, scalp and blow-dry treatment.

WINTER HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES

Additional holiday programming includes a “Spa White Friday” on Black Friday where guests will receive up to 75 percent off retail for the day. The spa will also celebrate December “Spalidays” with monthly themed holiday specials. Lastly, guests will have the opportunity to Deck the Halls with Spa and Mani's from December 1st through January 3rd with a Champagne Body Treatment, Vino Antioxidant Facial, or a Peppermint Stick Manicure and Pedicure.
