I was in desperate need of a spa day, and thankfully, I was gifted an experience at Atlantis Spa. Let me just say--it was absolutely wonderful. As a local, I was able to take advantage of a discount since I went on a weekday, which was a nice perk.
I got there 30 minutes early, and they promptly gave me a tour of the facilities, set me up with a cozy robe and slippers, and made sure I was comfortable. The bathroom and lounge areas were incredible on their own. They had a fantastic spread of healthy snacks, infused waters, hot tea, and coffee. The showers were stocked with little sugar scrubs and Aveda products, which I absolutely love. They really thought of everything; if you forget essentials like deodorant, tampons, or facial moisturizer, they've got it covered. Plus, they even had hair dryers, styling sprays, and curling irons available.
My masseuse picked me up from the lounge and led me to her studio, where everything was set up perfectly--the lighting, the music, the temperature of the bed. I chose the 90-minute Lomi Lomi massage, and it was phenomenal. The masseuse was incredibly intuitive and took great care of me. The massage uses light to medium pressure with coconut oil, and it was perfect for unwinding. The scalp massage at the end was especially divine.
After my massage, I decided to check out the salt brine room, which was warm and relaxing. I was really impressed with how attentive the staff was--they came in to clean up and refresh the room immediately after someone left. The jacuzzis were wonderful, and I particularly enjoyed the cold plunge. The only minor disappointment was the experiential shower, which I couldn't get warm enough, so I had to skip it.
For lunch, I ordered fish tacos using the phone in the indoor pool area. The pool is enclosed by a big glass dome, making it feel like a summer escape even though it was 40 degrees outside. My food arrived within 15 minutes, and I enjoyed a leisurely lunch while lounging by the pool, reading my book and listening to the calming sounds of the waterfall fountain.
All in all, I arrived at 10:30 am and stayed until 3 pm. I had a fantastic 90-minute massage, a delicious lunch, and left feeling completely relaxed and satisfied with the entire experience. Atlantis Spa is definitely on the pricier side, but it was worth every penny. I deserved it, and honestly, so do you! Highly recommend treating yourself to a day here.
