Pamper Perfection

Summer is the opportune moment to go on a family trip or enjoy time at home at the pool. But with the kids home 24/7, a quick spa escape is just what’s in store to replenish yourself. Enter The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort & Spa’s deluxe solution: Heavenly Spa. The name does not disappoint, nor does the recently introduced Summer of Rosé Spa Specials, a unique package designed to refresh and relax using ingredients that sound more like a Happy Hour menu than a spa. 

There’s a treatment for every need, beginning with the Ice Petals Chilled Brightening Facial – a detoxifying facial that taps into the benefits of the garden and sea with purifying plant juices, nourishing seaweed extract, soothing rose hydrosol, watermelon CBD serum (to reduce puffiness) and whipped rose retinol peptide-infused mousse.

Those looking for a full body treatment should consider the Bubbly Rosé Body Buff which uses a liquor-infused watermelon body exfoliation with a pink moon bubble mask, incorporating relaxation massage and rosé face mask. There’s also the Rosé Frosé Massage which applies dry brushing, hot stone massage with watermelon champagne oil, warming foot treatment and cooling menthol CBD muscle gel.

Lastly, the Watermelon Basil Vodkatini Mani/Pedi is a befitting way for a quick treat.  Facial-quality ingredients for the hands and feet include a watermelon-basil sugar scrub infused with Square One organic vodka, watermelon CBD gel mask, all of which are paired with a massage with whipped melon mousse.

If reading these descriptors has opened up your appetite, you’re in luck! The resort happens to house one of South Florida’s top Mexican restaurants, Lona Cocina & Tequilería.

Head there for a seaside lunch of Lump Crab Guacamole, Shrimp Ceviche and Backyard Carne Asada Tacos. If you’re a brunch aficionado plan your pampering over the weekend so you can splurge on the extensive buffet with Mexican dishes like Salmon Mole, Tacos Al Pastor, Chorizo with Potatoes and an entire guacamole station! There are plenty of traditional offerings: delectable waffles, an omelet station, and an endless array of tasty desserts. Beyond the postcard-perfect ocean view, another bonus is the margaritas and Bloody Marys.
