Today, Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino announced the opening of the much anticipated 13,000 square foot oceanfront Larimar Spa, giving guests a taste of the island’s first world-class spa facility. The name Larimar is derived from the aqua-colored healing stones indigenous to the Caribbean, which reminds guests of cool sea waters and warm sunny breezes for which Aruba is known.
“The Larimar Spa at Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino is a distinctive experience from the moment guests step in the door and begin their journey to better wellness and relaxation,” says Gary Jutz, general manager of Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino. “It is no secret that an increasing number of vacation seekers list a premium level spa as a must-have amenity when choosing a resort, and we are delighted to bring such a facility in the Larima Spa to our AAA Four Diamond resort.”
A $5.2 million investment and the most comprehensive spa on the island, the Larimar Spa offers a full menu of services in nine separate treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art Fitness Center facing the sea and a full-service salon. The Larimar Spa is a stand-alone structure, contemporary in design featuring breakout areas that include a central courtyard and private terraces. Earth tones are used throughout including natural green, tan and off-white hues for the interior and orange, brown and blue for the exterior. Signature treatments incorporate elements indigenous to Aruba including Local Aloe, Black Beach Stones, Seroe Quarts Crystal and Palmera Rum. The leading spa product lines of Thalgo “La Beaute Marine,” Jamu and Fleur’s are used in services and are available for purchase in the spa boutique.
Reservations can be booked through (800) 333-3333, the resort’s Website http://www.radisson.com/aruba or through any travel professional.
