Make Time to Relax This Holiday Season
Make Time to Relax This Holiday Season
By the time November rolls around, the holiday season is already picking up speed. There are gifts to find, dinners to schedule, and somehow a dozen small things that all seem to need immediate attention.
The holiday season moves quickly, which makes a few quiet hours at the spa really feel like a treat.
At Cerulean Beauty & Spa, those hours can look different depending on what you need. Maybe it is a long massage after a week of holiday errands or an afternoon spent taking care of winter-dry skin. Or maybe it is simply an excuse to step away from the calendar for a while. With a full-service spa and salon at the Mystic Marriott Hotel & Spa, there are plenty of ways to make time for a little relaxation.
When You Need to Slow Down
There’s no better feeling than realizing you don’t have to be anywhere else for the next hour.
That is part of what makes a holiday massage feel so good. The Cerulean Select Massage can be tailored to the areas where you hold the most tension, with options like hot stones, aromatherapy, therapeutic cupping, or targeted deep tissue. For a longer escape, the 120-minute Tranquil Retreat Massage gives you more time to settle in instead of watching the clock.
Once the massage is over, your afternoon does not have to end. We have a relaxation lounge, aromatic steam rooms, an infrared sauna, and an indoor pool, so feel free to explore before heading back into the holiday rush.
A Little Extra Care for Winter Skin
Winter tends to put your skin under extra strain. Harsh winter temps can dry out your complexion. Less sunshine and vitamin D can leave skin looking dull. Neither is ideal ahead of holiday parties. A facial at Cerulean gives you a chance to reset before the next round of gatherings.
The Calming Antioxidant Facial is a particularly natural fit for winter, leaving skin soothed and hydrated while including an eye-brightening treatment. If you want more of a visible refresh, the HydraFacial is your best bet, using cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and LED light therapy to leave skin looking smoother and more refreshed, with no downtime.
Stay a While Longer
When a quick treatment won't cut it, opt for a spa package and make a day of it. Our Afternoon Renewal package pairs two 60-minute treatments with lunch and time to enjoy the spa, so there is no need to rush in and out.
It is also a nice way to spend time with a friend, partner, or family member during a season when most plans revolve around restaurants, shopping, or parties. Book your treatments, have lunch, and stick around a bit longer.
Give Relaxation, Not More Stuff
There is always someone on the holiday list who is difficult to shop for. They probably don’t need another candle, mug, or sweater.
A gift card offers something a little different: the chance to choose a treatment when the time is right. It’s ideal for the parent who could use a quiet afternoon, the skincare-obsessed family member, or the person who’s always on the go.
Put the Spa on Your Holiday Calendar
The holidays will still be there when your appointment is over. The shopping can wait an hour.
Make a little room for a massage, a facial, or a full spa day in CT at Cerulean. Come in from the cold, settle into a treatment, and take your time before heading back to everything else.
