Need a little group therapy? Aria Spa & Club at the Vail Cascade is putting a new spin on the concept by opening up in the evenings for groups of five people or more making it the perfect getaway for bachelorette and bachelor parties, book clubs, bridal and baby showers or just a fun night out with friends.
Beginning this summer through Dec. 15, 2009, groups of five people or more with reserved spa treatments can schedule a private function mid-week (Monday through Thursday) in the Sanctuary at Aria Spa from either 5-6:30 p.m. or 7-8:30 p.m. as part of this “Group Therapy” program. With only one group per hour-and-a-half reservation, it’s like having a private spa. Special 25-minute mini-treatments are available during this time and include an organic sugar scrub, target massage, oxygen facial, as well as scalp and healing foot treatments. These mini-treatments range from $80-$95. Full spa treatments also are available.
Groups also can arrange for food and beverage service in the Sanctuary during this time making it a great location for a gift exchange, celebration, or evening out. Arrangements for food and beverage as well as spa services must be made 72 hours in advance.
A true mountain retreat, Aria Spa was designed to mimic the tranquil quality of Gore Creek, situated adjacent to the resort property. From the welcoming water feature, to the stacked rock fireplace to the warmth and peace of Aria’s signature Sanctuary, the surroundings reflect the serenity of this mountain environment.
The Sanctuary is truly unique; many times copied but never replicated. The ideal space for relaxing and drifting, the Sanctuary at Aria Spa is a very special pre- and post-treatment area designed for true respite. And, through the “Group Therapy” offer, the Sanctuary now provides a unique location for small group events, celebrations and activities.
