Seashore Inspired Pampering
The Spa at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina features private outdoor bathing verandas that overlook maritime forests and waterways, offering a chance to relax to the music of the surrounding nature. Baths on the Bluff include an array of soothing options such as the Sea Foam Escape which combines oceanic essences with fragrant essential oils. Another bath option offers an invigorating experience that is designed to uplift the spirits with citrus and, according to local Gullah lore, beat the heat of summer with the natural elements of Spanish moss.Nearby, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at Daufuskie Island Resort, the Breathe Spa focuses on balanced health, beginning on the inside. Offering the feeling of a breezy beach walk, the Surf and Sand Body Polish is a signature treatment of the spa. A creamy exfoliating scrub blends sand, jojoba beads, apricot seeds and loofah to cleanse and invigorate the body.
Farther north, the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island's Lowcountry Verbena Body Polish is a gentle exfoliating and cleansing scrub followed by a hydrating massage that combines fresh lemon verbena and gentle buffing grains with extracts of sea algae and vitamins, blended to stimulate and soften the skin.
Continuing north to the pristine North Carolina Outer Banks, the Sanderling Spa's treatments are inspired by the region's plentiful natural resources. The signature Sea of Life Facial is a facial massage with finely ground seashells, accompanied by therapeutic ocean sounds. Another treatment is inspired by the Russian Olive, native to the Outer Banks and sometimes called the Tree of Paradise.
