The Spa at Sea Island has opened on Sea Island, Georgia, US.
The new spa is part of an ongoing US$500m (385m euro, £250m) redevelopment of the Sea Island site, which also includes a newly rebuilt main building and a beach club.
Located between a five-mile long beach and salt marsh nature reserves, The Spa at Sea Island covers 65,000sq ft (6,040sq m) and offers 23 treatment rooms, three squash courts and five fitness studios.
The spa was designed in the spirit of the original Cloister hotel on Sea Island and contains woods, mosaics and hand-woven fabrics. A spa was first opened at the property in 1989.
The new spa is presided over by Jim Root, the general manager of spa operations, who joined Sea Island from US health resort Miraval in Tucson and who is also the chair of the International Spa Association (ISPA).
Root said: “At Sea Island’s new spa, the finest traditions of the destination spa community and the resort spa experience have
combined to create a truly family destination, welcoming everyone.”
Each spa guest is given a tide chart upon arrival as many of the spa’s activities are guided by the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
Sea Island is situated halfway between Jacksonville, Florida, and Savannah, Georgia.
