Get ready to swoon. The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach– playground of the rich and famous right on the sand in exclusive South Florida–has opened a spa that simply oozes glamour. The $30 million Eau Spa completes the recent transformations (more than $100 million!) of the AAA Five Diamond, Mobil Five-Star beach resort. Sprawling over 42,000 square feet, the brand spanking new spa focuses on sensory experiences. It all begins when the lucky guest enters the spa and lights a candle, setting it afloat in the giant copper Wishing Well, beginning a journey of self-discovery. Strolling into the Self-Centered Garden, you’ll find a lush oasis fragrant with lemon grass, lavender, jasmine and orchids and full of butterflies. Sit on a waterfall bench, where warm falling water takes away the shoulder stress, and you’re prepared to visit the Scrub and Polish Bar and consult with a resident mixologist and create a personalized blend of aromatic herbs, oils and sea salts– your very own customized Scrub Couture. Relaxed yet? Next up: the Spa Villa.

Designed with striking modern elements in a traditional Baroque style, the 19 Spa Villas can be customized to the guest’s preferences; choose your own oils, aromatherapies and musical selections. What’s more: Color therapy through LED lighting defines wall colors with shades outlined by ancient cultures. Blue=relax; red= play; gold= balance. Whatever your mood! Fittingly, the spa menu is lavish and exotic, featuring therapies that include precious gems, and facials infused with metals (such as the platinum and diamond blend with ancient Egyptian roots). Note: There are 12 Spa Villas with outdoor gardens, and three special Couple’s Spa Villas with oversized tubs and outdoor rainfall showers for the ultimate open-air spa experience.
