Spa Esencia Opens at Hyatt Regency Trinidad
MARCH 17, 2008. The first Hyatt Pure spa in the Caribbean, Spa Esencia is open at the new Hyatt Regency Trinidad. The Caribbean's newest business and leisure hotel offers a uniquely designed spa experience that maintains the festive environment of Trinidad. "Celebrations such as Carnival are such a bold and important part of our cultural experience," explained Spa Director Serena Rogers. "Spa Esencia infuses the theme of celebration with pampering treatments to prepare, indulge, detox and retreat the body, mind and spirit. There is a Trinidad & Tobago influence in every aspect of the spa."
Inspired by the beauty of the dual island nation's colorful environment, Spa Esencia is a natural reflection of the diverse heritage and celebratory culture that gives Trinidad & Tobago its unique character. Indigenous treatment styles, materials and scents such as eucalyptus, jasmine, lemongrass and Neroli create the ultimate immersion of Trinidad's natural elements. Spa Esencia's unique approach focuses on a "daily celebration of the self." Menu selections are inspired by signature cultural events and rituals such as Carnival fetes, Dimanche Gras and liming.
To ensure an authentic approach to incorporating the lush environment of Trinidad, Rogers and a team from the spa extensively toured the island with translators and local guides to learn about indigenous tribes, extinct cultures, natural available materials and medicinal influences from South American, Native Caribbean and African cultures that are now a part of the Trinidad & Tobago population. When designing the treatments, Spa Esencia's creators also researched and considered different skin tones and textures to effectively cater to the many races and cultures represented in the local people on-island.
The environment of Spa Esencia is as stunning and refreshing as the treatments. Each suite is equipped with a private shower and vanity allowing guests to remain in one individual space for multiple treatments, rather than sharing a locker room and changing suites for each service. A Couple's suite is also available where dual treatments can be performed simultaneously; all suites have beautiful views of the Gulf of Paria. A specialized Spa Concierge is on-site to assist with all consultations, selections and reservations.
