EAU SPA AWARDED FIVE-STARS BY PRESTIGOUS FORBES TRAVEL GUIDE IN 2015
Accolade ushers convention shaing spa wonderland into the ranks of the world’s premier spas
PALM BEACH, Fla. (January 11, 2015) – Today, Forbes Travel Guide awarded Eau Spa with its coveted Five-Star rating. This accolade is bestowed only on spas that meet the most stringent hospitality standards in offering exceptional experiences with extraordinary design and facilities, uncompromising service and advanced treatments. Situated on the grounds of Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, Eau Spa is one of fewer than 50 spas around the world to earn the prestigious Five-Star rating.
“The Forbes Five-Star designation is one of the hospitality industry’s highest and most respected accolades,” said Catherine Warren, Director of Eau Spa. “This reflects our teams’ dedication to providing guests with unparalleled luxury spa experiences that underscore the ‘Pause, Play and Perfect’ vision – which is where time stands still, worries are forgotten and well deserved “me time” is all that remains. An Eau Spa visit is a total sensorial experience that’s customized to what your mind and body need at the time with effective and precise technique…always injected with fun.”
Equal parts sublime pampering, tranquil rejuvenation and devilish indulgence, Eau Spa is a 42,000 square foot adult playground that offers a transcendent retreat through its “pause, play, perfect” philosophy. Eschewing convention in favor of personalized experiences that are fun and free of judgment, guests are greeted by spa fairies offering gourmet cupcakes and chilled champagne. Nineteen treatment rooms set the stage for breakthrough beauty and wellness treatments, with technology that customizes light and aroma therapy in addition to musical soundtracks to each guests’ specification. The expansive salon earned a perfect score from the Forbes judges with lavish beauty treatments that include pedicures and manicures infused with crushed pearls. Indulgent relaxation areas include exquisitely appointed private garden villas with alfresco soaking tubs and waterfall showers; breathtaking bath lounges; scrub and polish bars; and in the heart of the spa – the Self Centered Garden with airy cabanas, dipping pools, suspended swinging chairs, music and refreshing cocktails.
“I’m tremendously proud of this recognition of excellence,” remarked Michael King, Managing Director of Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa. “I congratulate the entire Eau Spa team in their unrelenting efforts to be the premier spa in the world.”
Eau Spa is the latest addition to the luxury travel ratings that have been the gold standard in the hospitality industry since 1958. “Our Star Ratings recognize the finest hotels, restaurants and spas in the world. These ratings serve as the most authoritative guideposts for guests seeking exceptional travel experiences. Our primary mission is to contribute to excellence in hospitality, serving the global tourism industry as well as the guest,” said Gerard J. Inzerillo, Chief Executive Officer of Forbes Travel Guide. “We’re proud to be associated with the new additions to our global list.”
