Get ready to swoon. The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach – playground of the rich and famous right on the sand in exclusive South Florida – has opened a spa that simply oozes glamour.

The Eau Spa (“Eau” is French for water) is a 42,000 square foot palace that fuses baroque designs with strong modern accents to create a sensory experience for its guests.

The heart of the spa is the open-air Self-Centered Garden, where guests can float in swinging chairs above a shallow pool of water, enjoy the warmth of a waterfall cascading on their shoulders, or recline on chaise lounges with a glass of wine.

For the most decadent and private experience, book a treatment in one of the 19 spa villas - all have lavish outdoor garden areas for relaxing, and the special Couples Villas have over-sized tubs and outdoor rain showers.

“This is a world-class spa that will deliver an experience beyond all others, even in The Ritz-Carlton brand,” said Brad Cance, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach.

“… We’ve always had the beach. We’ve always had the service level here. Now the Eau Spa creates a destination for Palm Beach above and beyond the recreational activities we give our customers.”

Eau Spa features 50 treatments, including body scrubs, facials, wraps, massage and aroma therapy.
