The BodyHoliday is the first lasting holiday - the first holiday in the world to combine the intense pleasure of personalised rejuvenation with the opportunity to acquire skills and insights that will enhance the rest of your life. Above all, The BodyHoliday offers a fun, and rejuvenating holiday that will leave you feeling pampered and wanting to come back for more. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/St_Lucia/thebodyholiday/hotel/281/12/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:48:07 EST Much of what you take away from The BodyHoliday will help you achieve a better quality of life at home. You will not only enjoy a feeling of total relaxation while you are with us; you will receive the tools to better your life in general, from such things as an improvement in your golf swing to small wisdoms, useful practices and lasting knowledge that will help you lead a more fulfilling life. In effect, The BodyHoliday is not a single experience. Because you can tailor an impressive arsenal of holiday pursuits (from Scuba to exotic Ayurvedic treatments) to fulfil your specific needs and expectations. European readers of Condé Nast Traveller recently named The BodyHoliday the Number One Destination Spa in the world and one of the 100 Best Of The Best in Travel. As flattering as that may be, guests tell us we are far more than a spa. They say we're a lot more fun than a dedicated spa and that the appeal of the holiday is found in our unique combination of pursuits that goes beyond the narrow confines of a pure health orientation. The BodyHoliday imposes nothing on you. It's about your choice of pleasure in the here and now and how far you want to go to acquire the kinds of benefits that last a lot longer than a nice tan. We know that you'll find it's all a body could ask for and have created this site to help you to create and to discover the unique experience you long for on your well deserved holiday in St. Lucia. Give us your body for a week and we'll give you back your mind. Only you and your body know what you want from a holiday, and you have every opportunity to create that truly personal holiday experience. If you feel the need for renewal, partake in our rejuvenating body treats. If you seek the achievement of body-mind harmony, try the ancient Eastern body arts that will take you on a journey of physical and mental well-being. If you like exploring exotic landscapes, set your compass on our rain forest, mountains and prepare to meet up with hundreds of years of colourful history. If you like being on the go with sports, no resort in the Caribbean can surpass our variety. And if you simply seek pleasure as a way of life, look forward to luxurious hedonism in accommodation, food, and drink. And, by the way, it's good to remember that just about everything at the BodyHoliday is included. It feels good to have no need for pockets. The Oasis The Oasis is where you go to get all the wonderfully rejuvenating health and beauty treatments at The Bodyholiday. It's a scheduled retreat and an Oasis of calm, where you can pamper your body and free your mind of the world's stresses and strains. The Oasis is architecturally stunning. Just being there gives you a feeling of serenity and its view of the sea is utterly breathtaking! Treatments Relaxation Weddings at the BodyHoliday The BodyHoliday provides you with a stunning setting for a first-class wedding, and you don't have to go anywhere for your honeymoon because you're in paradise already! The ceremony takes place in the shade of a beautiful, gingerbread sea-front gazebo. A more perfect setting would be hard to come by, particularly when it is enhanced with tropical flowers and generous glasses of champagne with which the wedding party may toast the bride and groom. And there is something magic about saying, “I do” within sight and sound of the azure Caribbean Sea. AMENITIES: There are 155 oases at The BodyHoliday. They're called rooms. Your room is a virtual retreat with all the amenities you need to -relax and find peace and quiet. It can be an elegant and opulent two-room suite. Or it can be a chic haven for a person travelling alone. As you will discover from the listing below, our rooms come in many shapes and sizes, but one thing they all have in common is a feeling of first-class comfort and privacy. Every room has a hair dryer and a plentiful supply of toiletries, and every guest gets a white cotton robe for lounging and wearing on the way to appointments for “Body Treats”. Many rooms come with well-furnished balconies that overlook the sea, while some have tropical garden views. Balconies are perfect spots for taking in The BodyHoliday's beauty, perhaps over a continental breakfast or a glass of sparkling wine at sunset when the sky turns to fire. Of course, all rooms are air-conditioned and there is not a TV set in sight… in your oasis of peace. Direct dial telephones and our internet café keeps you in touch with the outside world as much or as little as you prefer. Other amenities include 110/220-volt outlets (in most rooms), clock radio, in-room safe, and razor connections.
