Canyon Ranch
Canyon Ranch offers Watsu in its new 11,000-square-foot Aquatic Center. The soothing aquatic therapy treatment, based on Zen Shiatsu, takes place in water comfortably heated to 90 degrees. The therapist lifts, cradles, floats, and moves your body while supporting your face above the water. The weightlessness and buoyancy of the water allows movement, grace, and flexilibity for easier relaxation and healing.

Mandarin Oriental

Overlooking beautiful Biscayne Bay in a private suite, the almost two-hour treatment begins with a rose-petal foot ritual followed by an exfoliation scrub and face cleanse. An Ayurvedic Marma massage focuses on the energy centers of the face and body releasing tension and restoring vitality. The finale of this incredible experience is a chakra massage of the head and scalp.

Miraval Life in Balance Resort and Spa

Hot Stone Massage
Smooth, heated basalt stones are integrated into Swedish massage. They are soothed over your body and placed in areas of tension.. The combination of the heat with the added pressure of the stones allows the muscles to warm and relax.
