Rosewood Tucker’s Point has rebranded its spa and lowered its prices in a bid to attract more Bermuda residents.The newly named Sense spa also aims to incorporate more Bermuda touches in its treatments with pawpaw and aloe massages, and local honey and bay grape skin therapies. Other Island touches include treatment trays made of Bermuda Cedar and bowls for lotions and scrubs created with locally blown glass.And the new line of products at Sense uses organic and natural ingredients.To show off its services to locals Sense is holding an open house on Saturday from 6pm to 8pm where experts will be on hand to provide demonstrations and California’s Ajne Organic Perfumes will be creating personalised scents for guests, while models will be showcasing a new line of lifestyle wear.A 20 percent discount will be offered on all bookings this weekend and then a 15 percent discount through the end of April.Junior Tourism Minister Sen Vince Ingham, on hand for the ribbon cutting, said the spa rebranding gave a sense of optimism and helped “set the pace for change on the Island”.“It represents what can be in Bermuda and what will be,” Sen Ingham said.Corporate director of spa development for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, Jennifer Haack, said: “Spa travel has become an important part of the tourism industry and we recognise that people have more destination choices than ever before so it’s vital that we remain competitive and incorporating this Sense spa is one way to do it.”She said each Rosewood Sense spa is unique to its location and honours local traditions in healing, as well as incorporates indigenous natural elements into the treatments and decor.For instance, Bermuda honey harvested on property as well as aloe and Match Me If You Can plants from the gardens are used in various treatments.“We want our guests to feel a true sense of Bermuda as part of their relaxation and rejuvenation,” Ms Haack said.The spa also has introduced a Bermuda Lillies menu for teens and RoseBuds programme for children under 13.In addition, for the serious spa lover, Sense is offering various “spa journey” lasting from two to five hours.“One exciting addition is the Explore Bermuda four-hour Spa Journey in which the guest experiences the relaxing and rejuvenating effects of Bermuda’s botanicals along with locally inspired spa cuisine,” Ms Haack said. “The journey begins with a scenic walk through the spa’s garden to the newly revitalised sunken grotto, known as the Coffee Chine where the guest will hand-select the plants to be used in their Match Me If You Can body wrap.“The Coffee Chine is such a special place on this property that has been around since the 1920s but hasn’t been used in many years. We often have former guests who stayed at Castle Harbour ask about the Coffee Chine, so we took this opportunity to revive this unique grotto and incorporate it into the new Sense spa.”Despite the new brand and product offerings, many of the treatments have decreased in price, she noted.“We want to offer our guests a longer, more relaxing spa experience, so we’ve adopted more attractive pricing for many of our 80-minute treatments,” Ms. Haack said.“Also, there still is a perception that Rosewood Tucker’s Point is members only; however, the hotel and Sense spa are very much open to locals so we will be promoting special pricing throughout the year to attract Bermuda residents.”For more information on Saturday’s open house please call 298-4030 or e-mail tuckerspoint.spa@rosewoodhotels.com.
