Spa at the Monastery and Suites

Lavish your spirit at this heritage monastery and leave feeling, well, simply divine!

Treat yourself to a stay in one of the newly renovated guest rooms, each equipped with indoor single or double air-massage tubs, fireplaces and other celestial delights.

Spirit Urban Spa

Spirit’s treatments focus on fresh organic ingredients; in other words the body treatments sound good enough to eat. For some much-needed relaxation, indulge in the five-hour long “The Works” package ($365), which offers a full body Sea Scrub, an hour-long warm stone massage, the signature Sweet Skin facial (a completely organic treat made with a fruity blend of peaches, plums and cherries), a Happy Hands and Feet mani and pedi and a healthy spa lunch. If you’re pressed for time, $35 and 30 minutes will get you a Jet Legs treatment, which reduces water retention and helps circulation in tired gams.
