Cuisinart Resort Opens the Second Largest Spa in the Caribbean

 

Situated on Anguilla’s pristine Rendezvous Bay, Cuisinart Resort and Spa recently unveiled its $10-million dollar redesigned and expanded Venus Spa. Owned by the food processor giant of the same name,  this luxurious five-star resort has no resemblance to anything you’ll find in your mother’s kitchen. The chic, whitewashed retreat feels like a modern Greek village and the elegant 27,000-square-foot Venus Spa pampers guests with an emphasis on healing.

Highlights include 16 treatment rooms, VIP suites, indoor and outdoor showers, couple’s suites, and the Caribbean’s first aqua therapy pool. The Healing Waters Pool features built-in lounges and uses a combination of fresh water and revitalizing saltwater that is warmed to body temperature. A star attraction here is the signature Aqua Massage Therapy treatment that utilizes the low gravity effect of salt water to help regenerate the body.

The resort takes “going green” literally, raising its own vegetables and herbs in an 18,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse for guests to enjoy in the gourmet restaurants as well as the spa. Case in point: The Organic Garden Fresh wrap, which uses fresh rosemary, mint, and lavender mixed with seaweed mud to nourish the body. Another option offered is the Anguillian Island Sampler that includes a pineapple coconut scrub, Anguillan massage, and seaweed facial. The spa also boasts oversized steam rooms (called hammams), a state-of-the-art fitness center, free exercise classes (including yoga and pilates), and a zen-inspired relaxation room on the second level with sweeping ocean views. With Cuisinart’s redesigned spa, this exclusive getaway has raised the bar for luxury travel in Anguilla. 

Round-up some friends and enjoy the resort’s special Girlfriend Getaways Package starting at $2,700 that includes four nights accommodations, daily breakfast, two Water Journey Treatments, two Ladies Pampering Packages, two 50-minute Warmed Seashell Massage, a lunch and gourmet dinner for two at Santorini restaurant.
