The Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, immersed in the endlessly blue waters of the Caribbean, is replete with treatments, experiences, and indulgences for those seeking a wellness-focused vacation. From the moment you step foot on the island, an aura of warmth wraps around you, inviting you to take a deep breath and experience the “dushi” magic. Curaçao is a spiritual haven, featuring mystical zones like the Jan Thiel Salt Flats, where not only can you see wild flamingos, but also experience a transformative experience unlike any other. Guests will find that it's almost impossible to sink to the bottom of these natural mineral pools (much like the Dead Sea) due to their high mineral concentration - containing healing and restorative properties. Thanks to Curaçao's "dushi" (the word for sweet in the country's native tongue) magic, a spiritual transformation at these healing vortexes, as they're called, is the perfect summation of all that the island has to offer. Bathing in these salt flats may quell skin flare-ups, make you feel more attuned to yourself, and cleanse you of whatever negative energy clings to you. If you’re seeking state-of-the art massages and treatments provided by highly trained professionals, look no further than “8 - The Experience”, a holistic healing center built in collaboration with a team of therapists. The spa features a small selection of treatment rooms with open windows that face the ocean, offering unparalleled views that allow the island’s constant trade winds from the east to flow through. They’ve thoughtfully designed a menu that individualizes the spa experience to guest needs and wellness goals. There are 3 suggested pathways and several itemized treatments to choose from. The pathways are defined by one’s elemental nature: Infinity/Air, Fire, and Water/Earth and the desired emotion the guest would like to evoke. The “Grounding” menu offers a 210 minute “Grounding Journey” that incorporates three treatments — a grounding massage, grounding facial, and a body treatment with oatmeal and licorice to ground and stimulate, complete with warm oil massage of scalp and feet.
