The World Spa by Banyan Tree Takes Global
Cruising to New Levels
Singapore,
May 21, 2007 – In an exciting collaboration with unique cruise liner “The
World”, Banyan Tree Spa brings its Sanctuary of the Senses to the seas. The
World Spa by Banyan Tree is the Group’s first such venture located onboard
a residential cruise ship, offering signature spa treatments to the earth’s
only resort community circumnavigating the globe.
Catering
to a diverse clientele, which includes residents from over 40 different countries
living in a total of 165 residences, The World Spa by Banyan Tree is distinctively
placed to deliver its award-winning menu of spa treatments. Using a ‘high-touch,
low-tech’ approach that celebrates human touch coupled with the use of natural
herbs and spices and aromatic oils, the exotic treatments are inspired by Asian
traditions that have been passed through the hands of many generations.
Located
on Deck 5 in “The Village”, The World Spa by Banyan Tree features four
single treatment rooms and a Beauty Garden that incorporates a Hair Salon and
Manicure Station. Guests will be able to savour the Banyan Tree Spa experience
in tropically adorned rooms evoking the tranquillity and time-honoured rituals
of Asian spa treatments. Guests may also access complementary facilities onboard
The World such as the gymnasium, whirlpool, steam and sauna facilities and separate
male or female lockers.
Menu Highlights
Created especially
with the needs of its residents in mind, The World Massage is a carefully designed
signature massage to soothe body aches and tension while improving circulation.
The therapist employs long flowing strokes, palm and thumb pressure in this 90-minute
massage using exclusively formulated massage oil to awaken all senses.
The
Banyan Tree Spa experience would not be complete without a taste of Total Bliss,
a 130-minute spa package combining choice of body scrub, body massage and a head
and shoulder massage to revitalise tired bodies and tired minds.
Facials
are a Banyan Tree Spa forte, and there is every reason to opt for Radiance, a
90-minute high performance facial treatment that banishes dull and uneven skin
tone. Its natural emollient properties are suitable for all skin types.
