Salubrious Spas

By Michelle Rodenburg

Start your sensational seaside stay with a salubrious Curaçao spa day

When in the Caribbean, do as the locals do: relax. What better way to start your vacation than to visit one of the many great spas that Curaçao offers.

In the 19th century, spas were destinations for wealthy folks to "take the waters." In that sense, Curaçao could be considered one giant spa destination. Today, however, massages, facials, and body treatments are the popular services. Curaçao hosts numerous spas and spa resorts offering various treatments to perfect a great vacation.

Why massage? A healing art since ancient times, massage therapy offers countless benefits that touch each person individually. Massage helps improve the body's circulation, increase its blood and lymphatic flow, stimulate the nervous system, even effect internal organs. Massage therapy relieves muscle tension, strain, and soreness, as well as insomnia, arthritis, bursitis, headaches, digestive problems, stress, anxiety, depression, and other maladies. Curaçao spas offer hot-stone, holistic, water-chi, and thai massage.

Why facial? A facial offers many benefits, as the face is constantly subjected to attack by sun, smoke, or inappropriate cleansing products. A good facial treatment helps increase circulation and stimulate the skin. It can slow down premature aging. Facials are great preventatives to help beat wrinkles before they occur. Keeping the skin hydrated will help to keep it moist and supple. On Curaçao, spas use professional facial products like MD Formulations, Neoderma, Bioline, Claude Lagny, Phytomer, and Vichy.

Why body treatment? Body treatments are like facials for the whole body. It is just as important to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin of your body as it is the skin of your face. Treatments usually start with a scrub, followed by a body mask and wrap. To be slathered with mud, algae, or seaweed, then wrapped in a thermal blanket, is a detoxifying treatment that stimulates the metabolic system. If the product is a cream or lotion, it's a hydrating treatment. On Curaçao, solutions range from algae to chocolate mousse.
