Wilmot named spa & wellness director at Playa Largo
Playa Largo Resort & Spa has named Caroline Wilmot as spa and wellness director for the soon-to-open Key Largo resort.
Wilmot will oversee the development of all of Ocean Spa's wellness programmes; create spa treatments; manage the salon, fitness, kids club and spa personnel; as well as oversee the day-to-day operations of the facility.
The 6,000sq ft (557sq m), six-treatment room OceanSpa, designed by WTS International, includes one couples' treatment room, a co-ed lounge, hair and nail salon, kids’ club, and a 1,500sq ft (139sq m) fitness centre.
A seasoned pro in building spa and wellness programmes from the ground up, Wilmot said she looks forward to developing Playa Largo's spa offerings and launching the Ocean Spa brand to make it a household name.
"At Ocean Spa, we embrace our phenomenal location and utilise every available space at the resort to create a unique experience for our guests, from sunrise and sunset yoga classes held on the waterfront, to offering handmade body scrubs from our Body Bar using local organic ingredients and scents such as Mojito Salt Scrub, Awaken Coffee Scrub, Coconut Sugar Scrub, Ocean Dew and Bamboo Scrub," said Wilmot.
Born in the UK, Wilmot began her spa career with Steiner, and has worked as the membership and operations director for The Spa at Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago.
The estimated US$72m (€65m; £47m) Playa Largo resort in Key Largo, part of the Marriott Autograph collection, is the first new-build property on the island in 21 years.
