THE ART OF BELMOND

Welcome to our haven of relaxation.

You’ve traveled far and wide to luxuriate in our heavenly St Martin resort, and we intend to make your experience even more rewarding. This festive season, enjoy soothing therapies that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from head to toe. ROUCOU PRE-TANNING TREATMENT (50 MINUTES)Face & body exfoliationTreat your skin to this pampering experience, starting with a gentle all-over peel to remove dry skin, followed by a full-body roucou oil application. Roucou is a Caribbean plant composed of red seeds. For centuries, the Arawaks used it to hydrate and protect their skin from the sun. It also doubled up as an effective mosquito repellent. We use a naturally red oil that will help ensure your tan stays golden and beautiful. JUST ARRIVED ( 80 MINUTES) Body scrub • Swedish massageStart your vacation off in style with an invigorating body scrub and a 50-minute Swedish massage. Soothe any aches and pains and rejuvenate muscles that may be weary from traveling.

Celebrate the holiday of lights with a special menorah lighting ceremony. We invite you to partake in this special occasion of reflection and dedication, enjoying traditional sweets surrounded by friends and family.

LOMI LOMI MASSAGE (50 | 80 MINUTES) Benefit from a traditional Hawaiian massage, in which the therapist uses elbows and forearms to rythmically stimulate your muscles. Feel energized and soothed as your circulation is stimulated and any stiffness melts away. The treatment can also provide spiritual and emotional healing, replacing anxiety or worry with positive feelings. You’ll feel deeply relaxed. Choose the 80-minute massage for the optimum experience.
