href="http://spas.about.com/od/flori2/fr/mandarinmiami.htm">About.com :</a></p><blockquote><p>This is a lovely 15,000 square foot spa spread over three floors, with 17 treatment rooms. It uses Asian materials like bamboo and rice paper to achieve a calming atmosphere and has great visual details, like an orange zinnia twirling in a black fountain. Large, luxurious treatment suites (perfect for couples massage) overlook Biscayne Bay. A small, beautiful movement studio is decorated with large, egg-like sculptures that inspire meditative calm. Classes include yoga, Pilates, bellydancing and tai chi. A full fitness studio is on a separate floor.</p></blockquote><p>George Monkhouse reports this <a
href="http://www.worldreviewer.com/travel-guides/spa/the-spa-at-mandarin-oriental-miami/11404/">from his visit :</a></p><blockquote><p>Located on the illustrious South Beach, the Art Deco second home of the stars, the Mandarin Oriental is special. The award-winning spa, a sanctuary with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Biscayne Bay, blends exotic textures of bamboo, rice paper and glass to bring to tropical side of life in to aid your relaxation of body and mind. The speciality here is on the overall treatment, time permitting: the ‘Welcome’ will ascertain appropriate treatments; ‘Purify’ is to cleanse the body in a number of ways; ‘Nurture’ is with either fresh algae or oshadi body wrap; ‘Balance’ offers face cleanse, Indian scalp massage, shirodhara, hot stones or pouring of warm oil over the body prior to any style of full body massage; and ‘Bliss’ culminates the treatment with Ayurvedic tea and an aromatherapy bath.</p></blockquote><p><a
href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/good_spa_guide/article2677141.ece">A TimesOnline reporter</a> digs deep into this spa and reports :</p><blockquote><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-weight: normal;"><span
style="color: #000000;">USP Fifteen thousand square feet of luxury, offering restorative treatments based upon the ancient traditions of Chinese, Ayurvedic, European, Balinese and Thai cultures. The spa is renowned for the Kundalini Journey, an innovative treatment exclusive to Mandarin Oriental, Miami; it combines stone therapy, advanced massage techniques and aromatherapy, to achieve a greater level of physical and mental relaxation.</span></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-weight: normal;"><span
style="color: #000000;">Before I entered my treatment room, the therapist stopped me and quietly said, “When you enter the room it is going to look very different to what you have seen before.” My immediate thought was, &#8220;hmmm, how?&#8221;. I was pleasantly surprised or, to put it precisely, I was taken aback. The spacious room was candle lit with dim blue surround lighting and had steps that led up to a bath area. Fuchsia Orchid petals adorned the floor and soft Tibetan music filled the atmosphere. I felt distant from the world outside the room &#8211; I had, in spa speak, &#8220;travelled beyond&#8221;.</span></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span
