Relax. Recharge. Rejuvenate. Repeat.
In the true spirit of the Tommy Bahama persona, which is an Island state of mind; I followed that mantra (except for the repeat, to follow), along with two friends right before Christmas. My Christmas present to myself was an 80-minute full body massage at Spa Rosa (on the premises), which included a scalp massage (because hairdressers never do it long enough). It was made to order. It was a luxurious spa treat and the appies that followed were really delish.
My friend Miranda (who resides in Seattle when she’s not in Vero Beach, Fla.) was in town to visit her friend Barb who lives in Indian Wells. Miranda and I go way back because she and her hubby Dave were neighbors with me and my late husband Don when we all lived in Toronto (they’re originally from Connecticut). When Don and I moved back to Vancouver, shortly after, she and Dave moved to Seattle. So we were still fairly close in proximity and visited each other and managed to stay in touch throughout the years.
I was so happy when she texted that she’d be in the Palm Springs area and asked if I’d be able to join her and Barb for a spa day at the new Miramonte (Tommy Bahama) resort. Hell, yeah! Because like I always say “it’s great to meet new friends, but getting together with old friends who knew you when is even better.” And doing it at a spa; the best. It was great to re-connect so we’re going to make an effort to make this a more regular occurrence. I sure hope so.
The grounds here are very picturesque as you step into the trademark Tommy Bahama Island lifestyle featuring huge palm tree prints and colourful casual wear with the true essence of relaxation. The boutique reflects the brand perfectly. The restaurant “Grapefruit Basil” is inspired by local, on-property ingredients. We had a sampling after our spa session and everything was excellent. We thought the guac was the best ever.
Chiki Palm is the fun new poolside bar offering poolside service of savory small bites and a paradise of cocktails.
