SANDALS AND BEACHES EXCLUSIVE

RED LANE SPA CONCEPT

The Red Lane Spas, which are exclusive to Sandals Resorts, capture the distinctive warmth and excitement of the Caribbean through design and a carefully selected palette of colours that reflect the region.

Red Lane Spas combine the finest European spa traditions with a distinctive Caribbean flair. Treatments concentrate on using ingredients indigenous to the region such as Jamaica’s-own BlueMountain coffee, exotic sweet oranges, local honey and almonds, natural island brown sugar and other tropical delicacies in its therapies and application. At Sandals Resorts, Red Lane Spas have perfected the art of treatments for romantic couples and at Beaches Resorts, speciality programmes are available for children and teenagers.

Red Lane Spas feature botanical formulations by Pevonia, made from pure extracts and natural ingredients. Designed with a backdrop of imported marbles, classic mahogany craftsmanship and original art, Red Lane Spas transport guests into another world – a rich, restful retreat focused entirely on relaxation and serenity. The calming scent of lemongrass infuses throughout each spa, offering a feast for all the senses. Facilities include hot and cold plunge pools, Eucalyptus steam baths and saunas, locker rooms with showers and fully stocked changing areas, full-service beauty salons and many also include a secluded garden sanctuary. Treatment locations can be tailored to personal preference from a private spot on the beach and garden gazebos to your own room.

A romantic stay at Sandals is taken to an entirely new level with a couples massage which can be enjoyed on the beach or while sipping champagne in the privacy of one’s own suite. Highly trained therapists alleviate tension, releasing stress and restoring natural harmony. The Red Lane choice of massage treatments include:

Red Lane Spa Massage Exclusives – a couples massage in a designated couples room, complete with scented candles, soft music and fragrant oils or a moonlight and stars Swedish massage performed on the beach after dusk.

  • Swedish massage designed to relax muscles and improve circulation
  • Aromatherapy massage using oils extracted from tropical plants
  • Reflexology, focusing on specific pressure points to induce relaxation
  • Sports massage relieving chronic muscle tension
  • Four-handed massage for twice the relaxation
  • Hot stone massage, a holistic experience to relieve stress

Red Lane Spa incorporates the vitamin-rich fruits of the islands into nourishing facials for time-ravaged skin using red oranges, grapefruit and organic seaweed tailored to the guest’s skin-type and needs. Red Lane Spa facial exclusives include:

  • Signature Sand and Sea Experience incorporates a custom blend of island honey, citrus, sea salt and sand into an unparalleled treatment by the seaside. After exfoliation, guests enjoy a dip in the warm Caribbean Sea and an optional full body application of suntan lotion, which is applied via Swedish massage to ensure an even glow.
  • Wake up and Smell the Coffee Special. Inspired by Jamaica’s indigenous BlueMountain coffee beans, this treatment gently exfoliates skin and is followed with a coffee wrap and warm milk bath. The experience continues with an aromatherapy massage of chocolate infused oils and lotions and is concluded with a freshly brewed cup of Blue Mountain Coffee.
  • Other therapies available at the Red Lane Spa include a Seaside Exfoliation using red almonds and local honey; Signature Lemongrass Body Scrub with an infusion of herbs and ginseng and an Ortanique Orange Scrub, using exotic tropical sweet oranges and natural brown sugar.

Other exclusives available at Red Lane Spas include children and teenager programmes at Beaches Resorts. Both will enjoy their own private time as an individual schedule has been created including a menu of treatments, tailored to personal needs. From hair braiding and henna tattoos to extravagant Glamour Nights complete with ‘mocktails and mingling’, younger guests can benefit from the same extraordinary pampering experience as their parents. Children can even take pleasure in being pampered with a cherished friend as Sesame Street’s Zoe often visits Beaches Resorts to entertain guests.

Red Lane Spas recognise that each individual is the creator of their own vitality and well-being. The latest fitness equipment is available for optimal workouts and a variety of wellness classes are offered throughout the day ranging from walks on the beach, water fitness and heart-pumping aerobics to yoga and pilates.
