sister resort, the Five-Diamond Lodge at Torrey Pines. In
designing the Catamaran Spa's unique body/mind treatment rituals,
DeBartelo expressed the same devotion to perfection that has
made the Spa at Torrey Pines one of the most exclusive resort
hotel spas in the world. |
| Currently, the Catamaran Spa offers
four spa rituals, each true to the traditions of a distinct
culture and delivered by skilled and caring therapists: |
| · ANCIENT OCEANS RITUAL
Restore your own personal harmony by experiencing an ancient
aquatic ritual. We begin with an exfoliation to prepare you
for this cleansing experience. Next, the body is enveloped
with a warm, aromatic body gel that combines trace minerals
from seawater with essential oils such as lavender, ylang
ylang, sandalwood, basil, and sage. Then you will relax in
our hydrotherapy tub, remineralize with our seawater bath,
and discover for yourself the restorative benefits of the
ancient ocean. The experience is completed with a blissful
massage. 140 MINUTES - $265.00 |
| ·
THE EGYPTIAN GOLDEN RITUAL Inspired by Egyptian rituals, this
magical body treatment is the ultimate indulgence for the
senses. Each phase immerses you in the delicate combination
of golden mineral dust and Egyptian Chamomile - the healing
flower of the Egyptian priests. Your sensorial journey begins
with a gentle exfoliation followed by an invigorating Swiss
shower. Next, a warm cocoon moisturizes and remineralizes
every inch of your skin as your scalp and feet are massaged.
After that, a sparkling milky bath awaits you, swirling in
sparkling golden pools. When you emerge, gold-flecked body
oil is massaged into your skin and lightly feather dusted
with luminous golden powder. Then, as you revel in the pleasures
of this golden experience, you will refresh yourself with
an exotic tea or passion fruit juice brought to you at your
request. 140 MINUTES - $265.00. |
| · THAI RITUAL Entice your
senses in a ritual that takes you on a traditional Asian journey
with herbal remedies that have been used for centuries in
Thailand. The journey begins with a foot soak and exfoliation,
followed by a Thai-style foot massage. Next, you will experience
a Table Thai massage that incorporates "Luk Pra Kope,"
the healing application of steamed herbal poultices. Finish
with a soothing herbal bath while you sip an exotic tea. 120
MINUTES - $265.00 |
| · INARA RITUAL A completely
organic body care experience that employs ingredients from
cooperatives in Southeast Amazon, featuring Babassu oil from
fruit kernels of the Babassu Palm. The ritual begins with
a sugar rub that melts into the skin, leaving it deeply moisturized,
followed by a fragrant Babassu Milk Bath made with an organic
buttermilk blend. After the bath, you will be wrapped in a
body mask infused with the Babassu Body Oil while you receive
a scalp and face massage with Babassu Body Creme. A relaxing
Vichy Shower with cascading water will remove the body mask.
Your ritual ends with a full-body massage using the Babassu
Body Oil sealed with additional Babassu Body creme. 140 MINUTES
