The Breakers enhances Florida’s spa experience

The Breakers enhances Florida’s spa experience The Spa at The Breakers Palm Beach constantly raises the bar to deliver exceptional spa experiences that pamper and revitalize its guests, with an evolving menu of offerings that encompasses a number of new treatments.

Three new signature services include: the couture of customized massages known as the Personal Retreat, the Orchidée Impériale Facial featuring Guerlain’s just introduced age-defying skincare treatment, and Golf Pilates – the innovative fitness program that specifically addresses the needs of golfers.

Personal Retreat
Now among The Breakers most highly requested spa services, Personal Retreat is a customized massage that incorporates various therapeutic techniques – deep tissue, sports, aromatherapy, reflexology or stone -- that are tailored to the individual’s needs and preferred time frame. Whether one desires blissful relaxation or to alleviate muscular tension – or both – the master therapist will expertly deliver a highly personalized massage experience. Guests only need to advise how much time they have, anywhere from 50 to 120 minutes.

Orchidée Impériale Facial
The orchid - the newly heralded ‘beauty flower’ with anti-aging properties - continues to bloom in the science of skin care. Its burgeoning fame is due in no small part to Guerlain, whose seven-year probe of the plant’s extraordinary molecular extract ultimately yielded Orchidée Impériale. This remarkable product, which features an extract concentrate that reduces wrinkles, smoothes and firms skin, is the basis of the Orchidée Impériale Facial, featuring Guerlain’s highly effective and exacting facial massage.

Golf Pilates
This golf-specific fitness training session is conducted in a one-on-one format. Finely tuned golf pilates fosters total body conditioning by integrating the entire form into all movement patterns, just as optimal golf performance requires. It restores muscle balance by lengthening tight muscles for flexibility, strengthening weak muscles, enhancing stability, and increasing strength and power – ultimately to improve the bio-mechanics of one’s golf swing. Initially, a Golf Pilates specialist evaluates the golfer’s posture and movement patterns to determine where imbalances lie.

Founded in 1896 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Breakers Palm Beach is one of America’s legendary resort destinations. The 560-room, Italian Renaissance-style hotel resides on 140 acres of oceanfront property in the heart of Palm Beach. With the commitment of its original ownership, The Breakers has invested $250 million over the past 15 years in its ongoing revitalization and enhancement of its multi-faceted amenities - most recently, the dramatic transformation of shoreline into a luxurious beachfront experience.

The resort’s timeless atmosphere has been renewed in a style of residential elegance, from its magnificent interiors to its artfully designed landscape. Highly personalized service indulges couples on a romantic getaway as much as it energizes multi-generational travelers with a family-minded philosophy. Capital expenditures averaging $15 million a year will continue to be reinvested in the property for the long term, to ensure it remains appealing to future guests for decades to come.

The resort features 36 holes of championship golf, including the Ocean Course and The Breakers Rees Jones Course; 10 tennis courts, a 20,000 square foot luxury spa; a breathtaking oceanfront featuring luxurious beach bungalows for daytime rental and Mediterranean-style beach club with a half-mile of private beach; a comprehensive Family Entertainment Center, an extensive program of family and children’s activities, and a variety of water sports.

The Breakers also features a broad selection of distinctive restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining, as well as an array of on-site boutiques – all wholly owned and managed by the resort. The Breakers is recognized as a AAA Five Diamond property.
