Spa FAQs

We recommend you make your appointment in advance to allow you to choose the times that best suit your schedule. Appointments are held with a credit card. To make an appointment, please contact (305) 908-5460 or extension 5460 from your guest room.

Do you offer couples massages?

Yes. Our massage services may be enjoyed in the company of a loved one in our Duet Suite for an additional $10/person. Our Duet Suite is subject to availability.

Do I need to wear a mask when I visit the Spa?

Guests are not required to wear a face mask while in the spa/salon. All staff are required to wear masks and gloves unless it interferes with the service they are providing. Otherwise, frequent hand washing is required.

What measures has The Palms AVEDA Spa implemented in response to COVID-19?

Our spa has always upheld strict hygiene protocols and the well-being of our guests has always been our priority. As we look forward to welcoming you to our spa, we would like to reassure you that the following additional protocols have been introduced, so you can feel safe and protected while you spa with us. You can learn more about our safety protocols here.

What Facilities Does Your Spa Offer?

Visit our Facilities page to learn more about what amenities are currently available. All guests experiencing services of 50 minutes or more (excluding hair and nails) have access to our pool and beach and may enjoy the use of our fitness room. The spa front desk will issue pool towel cards to spa guests. Towel cards must be returned to the spa front desk or a fee of $39 will be charged.

May I Order Food And Drinks In The Relaxation Area?

 At this time, food and beverage menu items are not available.

How early should I arrive for my appointment?

Please arrive no more than 10 minutes prior to your appointment to allow time for you to check-in and change prior to your spa experience. This will also allow us to ensure you are the only one arriving and departing at a given time. If you arrive later than your appointment time, your session will still end as scheduled time as a courtesy to the next guest.

What if I'm late for my appointment?

Arriving late will simply limit the time of your treatment, thus lessening its effectiveness and your pleasure. Your treatment will end on time so the next guest will not be delayed. The full value of your treatment will be charged.

What if I don't have a spa treatment, may I use the spa facilities?

Those hotel guests who do not have a spa treatment booked are welcome to enjoy the steam room, shower, and spa relaxation facilities for a $20 charge (subject to availability.)

What should I wear for my treatment?

Along with a swimsuit for co-ed areas, we recommend you wear comfortable casual clothes for pre- and post-treatment. During treatments, you may wear undergarments (disposable available), a swimsuit or disrobe completely. Your preference and modesty will be respected. We recommend wearing no jewelry during treatment. Lockers are available for your use. We are not responsible for any lost items.

How should I prepare for my treatment?

We recommend showering prior to using our relaxation facilities and before your treatment. Clean skin will better absorb the essential oils, scrubs and/or creams used in our massage treatments, facials, and body treatments. We also recommend using the steam room before your treatment. Warming up the muscles prior to your treatment increases circulation, encourages relaxation, and enhances treatment results.

Is gratuity included?

For your convenience, a 20% service charge will be added to all treatments. Additional gratuities are at your discretion.

What about payment for spa services?

A credit card number is required at the time reservations are made. All major credit cards are accepted. You may also charge spa services to your hotel bill or use a gift certificate.

Is there an age requirement?

Guests must be 16 years of age or older to enjoy spa services and spa facilities. Nail services are available to guests 12 years and older when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Are gift cards available?

Give the gift of nature with a spa treatment or package from The Palms AVEDA Spa, available for purchase at the spa front desk. You can also purchase a Gift Card online by clicking here. The perfect way to say thank you to friends and loved ones.
