VIPs to bring their butler-designated cell phone to the beach (great for procuring an ice-cold Red Stripe). Your clients will want a day at the The Red Lane Spa at Sandals Whitehouse, which boasts 10 treatment rooms, an expansive outdoor courtyard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, saunas and steam rooms. Note: Agents should book treatments at the time of reservation to ensure availability. Top Treatment: Unquestion- ably, the Red Lane Spa’s signature West Indian Massage. This 80-minute treatment combines a full-body massage with island elements, such as warm river stones. Tip: The most requested therapist for the Sports Massage is Dwight Gregg. Insiders say his large hands and strength make him ideal for deep tissue work. The most-requested female therapist is Sandra Wedderburn, but make sure to pre-book her, as she is in high demand. SANDALS WHITEHOUSE guests wake up to breakfast on their patio. CALETÓN’s thatched buildings are perfect lounging venues. For Foodies: The wine-pairing meal Vineyard Dinner is ideal. For the best seat in the house, book your clients the private candlelight dinner on the beach. Nice Touch: As all rooms at Sandals Whitehouse overlook the beach, guests may choose to send a message (think birthday wishes, anniversary messages and even marriage proposals) to a loved one with the resort’s exclusive sand writing. A dedicated sand artist will build a message on the beach for your loved one to see first thing in the morning when they wake up. For this service, luxury travel advisors should contact Executive Concierge Lancelot Lebert (llebert@grp. sandals.com). All other questions should be posed to Glendon Lowe (glowe@grp.sandals.com).
