f there’s a silver lining to what we’ve learned over the last few years, Shanelle Lucas, Spa Director at Hilton Sandestin Beach, says it’s a renewed appreciation for self-care and overall wellness. At Serenity by the sea Spa, helping you look and — more importantly — feel your best has always been the priority. “People are currently seeking treatments that offer immediate results,” Lucas said. “And we’ve seen that at Serenity with our skin care and body treatments being some of the most highly requested services on our menu. Guests want to be able to put their best faces forward, with a glow that makes them feel like they can take on the world.” Lucas said many can achieve this glow after just one HydraFacial, a deep-cleansing treatment that exfoliates and rehydrates your face while addressing your specific skin care needs. Body therapies such as the Moroccan Body Melt, which relies on replenishing oils through massage and hot stones to melt away stress, are also stealing the spotlight. “In addition to treating themselves to some of the most highly rated and respected spa services in Florida, people have been taking advantage of the facility itself,” said Erin Story, Assistant Spa Director. “We have a fitness center with two Peloton bikes, whirlpools, steam rooms, dry saunas and a relaxing lounge area for anyone looking to make a day of their visit. After a trying couple of years, it’s nice to have a safe, serene space where you can catch your breath and relax awhile.” 28 HILTON SANDESTIN BEACH 2022
