The Sanderling Inn Resort and Spa recently expanded its spa to offer luxurious couples therapy rooms and a relaxing couple’s spa suite. Spa treatments for two alleviate the stress and worries of the everyday. It also allows for your relaxation to enjoy the comfort of each other for the rest of your Romantic Getaway.
Mental Escape
We begin by stepping into the reception area. Calming scents invade your senses and you feel your cares begin to drift away. You are led into the dressing area where you put on one of the softest robes ever to feel your bare skin. You relax in the seaside cottage decorated waiting area with an ice-cold glass of water, to begin the detoxification process. It is important to be properly hydrated before all spa treatments. As you browse the magazines, the touch of your therapist’s hand on your shoulder wakes you gently from your reverie.
The couple’s treatment room is prepared for you and your companion. You enter to find a specialized hydro-tub for two filled with steamy, scented water. Wildflower blooms float upon the water and ripple as you step into the scented tub. As you look through the open wood shutters, the ocean beckons you to relax and enjoy. You sit back and listen to the calming music and let the therapist massage your temples. Don’t fall asleep. This is only the beginning of your indulgent romantic journey at The Sanderling.
