First L'Occitane spa in the Bahamas to be unveiled
The Club Med Columbus Isle resort is preparing to reveal the first and only L’Occitane spa in the Bahamas this November as part of an US$8m (€6m, £4.9m) investment in the resort.
The newly-refurbished 36 deluxe rooms and 180 Club Med bedrooms on the island – which was the first island Christopher Columbus visited after discovering the new world in 1492 – will now have access to a 13,000sq ft (1,208sq m) Club Med Spa by L’Occitane.
The six-treatment room spa will include a manicure and pedicure area, hair salon, relaxation lounge and a L’Occitane boutique. Signature treatments at the spa will comprise therapies using ingredients such as local coconut to brighten, hydrate and soften skin. There will also be a mini menu for juniors and teens from 11-17 years old.
Guests can incorporate two, three and four-day Spa Escape programmes with the resort’s all-inclusive fitness school, tennis classes and water activities. The Columbus Isle is known for its beautiful coral reef and with a visibility of 80-150ft (24-46m), the resort is popular with divers.
The investment also includes the redesign of the resort’s main pool deck, a brand new kitesurfing school and a new culinary experience at a restaurant called Christopher’s. The resort in the Bahamas has three bars and two dining venues.
