Perricone. Tip: For a longerlasting effect, guests might opt for one of the spa’s yoga retreat weeks. For guests who want to continue their pursuit of holistic living, the spa offers a menu of energizing, organic fare with an emphasis on raw ingredients and Asian influences. Like its spa, which was renovated in 2004, Parrot Cay’s accommodations are understatedly elegant, bathed in white and with four-poster beds that are draped in diaphanous mosquito netting. Guests stay in one-, two- and three-bedroom Beach Villas (No. 1004, a one-bedroom villa, offers the most privacy and is steps from the water’s edge), which are tended to by a staff of personal butlers. We hear the Sanctuary, however, offers an added dash of exclusivity. It consists of two houses, each with a second-floor master bedroom/ living area with 360-degree water views, three additional bedrooms and an infinity-edge pool. Hotel Manager Jeff Morgan (jeff.mor gan@parrotcay.como.bz; 649946-7788) will make sure your clients’ preferences and accommodations are an exact match. Tip: Contact Head Concierge Pete Capezza (pete.capezza@ parrotcay.como.bz; 649-9467788) to fill your VIPs’ agenda with a variety of activities, from a poolside dinner at Lotus to water sports and off-island excursions. With three locations in the Caribbean, The Ritz-Carlton Company is a fail-safe choice for serious spa getaways. At The Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort, Rose Hall, Jamaica (www. ritzcarlton.com/rosehall), new treatments include the 50-minute Bamboo Massage, which uses bamboo shoots to apply pressure to specific therapeutic points on the body. If your clients are inspired by the sea, suggest the new Shell Massage, during which four natural Tiger Clam sea shells filled with dried kelp and algae are activated and heated for a therapeutic deep-tissue, full-body massage. Spa staffers say that Kamar is among the most requested massage therapists, particularly for deep-tissue versions. Also new on the spa’s menu is the Drift to Sleep sequence, which quiets overactive minds and sleep-deprived bodies with an aromatherapy milk bath; aromatic, herbal tea; and a peaceful body massage with warm aromatherapy oils, Reiki, cranial-sacral holds, lymphatic drainage and other techniques. Clients drift into a deep sleep for 30 minutes, tucked in a warmed down duvet atop their massage tables. We hear Latoya will leave your VIP in an absolutely dreamlike state. Tip: For treatments with truly local flavor, check out the Jamaican Coffee Scrub, the Jamaican Signature Fruit Facial or the popular Stonecrop Facial. Be sure to request Larnez for facial services. Book spa treatments at least 24 hours in advance, preferably two to three months out, by contacting the Guest Services Center or Guest Recognition Depart- A PAVILION at Parrot Cay provides a quiet spot for guests to relax and meditate among the mangroves. 58 LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR | November 2008 http://www.ritzcarlton.com/rosehall http://www.ritzcarlton.com/rosehall
