Inspired by the bathhouses of ancient Greece, the Vita Novus spa at the Riu Palace Aruba hotel is a sanctuary of relaxation. Large pillars surround the wet spa area, and bamboo lounge chairs rest on earth-tone tiles. Touches of Caribbean blue serve to mimic the beautiful natural surroundings. With highly trained professionals, carefully selected products and a wide range of services, the Vita Novus Spa is the perfect complement to a restorative Aruba vacation.
The Menu: Vita Novus has an extensive spa menu that includes basics such as Swedish, deep-tissue and couples massages, as well as more elaborate specialty massages (like the bamboo, chocolate and lymph massages), facials and body treatments. In addition to treatments for women, the on-site beauty salon offers manicures, pedicures, waxing and hairstyling services specifically designed for men. For athletes with aching muscles there is the Shorebreak Sports Massage, which uses hot towels immersed in salt water to soothe and loosen tense, exercise-weary muscles, as well as massage and stretching techniques to get you up and running again in no time.
The Must-have: Touted as “the ultimate aromatherapy experience,” Vita Novus’ Raindrop Therapy Treatment uses nine handpicked essential oils, which are first warmed and then layered onto the body in a specific sequence that mimics falling rain, to relieve stress and leave your body in a state of absolute relaxation. The gentle massage and heavenly scents soothe your body and mind while the natural ingredients sink deep into your skin, regenerating tired cells and stimulating detoxification. This is one rain shower you won’t mind getting caught in during your tropical getaway.
