Romantic Spa Getaway to Turnberry Isle Miami

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a relaxing trip to the spa. My husband and I recently visited the expansive spa sanctuary at Turnberry Isle Miami (what a rough life!).

Located in it’s own separate building, the spa is surrounded by tranquil fountains and lush landscaping, and offers a variety of decadent treatments. We opted for the romantic Fijian spa ritual — the perfect treatment for couples looking to unwind and relax.

Inspired by a journey to the South Pacific, the two-and-a-half-hour treatment started with a luxurious milk soak bath, followed by a 30-minute body exfoliation with a Pure Fiji sugar scrub. Nelly Giribaldi, my massage therapist, explained that sugar brings the humidity from the environment to the skin to rejuvenate it and create a fresh glow.

After the sugar scrub, the treatment continued with a 50-minute full-body massage using natural coconut oils from Pure Fiji. To top it off, you can opt for either a Fijian scalp treatment (which is what I picked) or a 10-minute foot butter treatment to complete the service. The whole experience is simply heavenly.

If You Go: Book your spa appointment with Nelly — she is fantastic; a real pro. Call (305) 933-6930 or visit TurnberryIsleMiami.com.

Here’s a fun little video I put together myself (shot with my iPhone and GoPro — so no fancy bells and whistles) about the spa and my experience:
