Perennial Pampering
Last July, by opening one of the only true destination spas in the region, the Mayflower Inn, located in Washington, Connecticut, added a new incentive to travel to New England outside of autumn. Here, you can turn over a new leaf year-round, with treatments and programs tailored to the specific season. For example, the Seasonal Balancing Ritual, which includes a body exfoliation, followed by a soak in an oil bath or warming wrap, an herbal scalp treatment, and a full body massage, helps one transition into spring, summer, fall, or winter by employing different ingredients from milk to mint. The gourmet spa menu also parallels the season, infusing dishes with the freshest ingredients. Mayflower Inn’s long-standing reputation for preparing excellent cuisine is underscored by their Relais & Chateaux designation, and this culinary acumen can be witnessed in the calorie-conscious, yet flavorful creations of chef consultant Cary Neff. The newly constructed 20,000-square-foot Spa House delicately balances luxury with relaxation. Sumptuous white chaise lounges in the Garden Room overlook a tranquil pond and the 58 wooded acres of Steeprock Private Reserve, where experienced guides lead daily hikes and cardio fitness programs. A seasonally scented Turkish-style Hammam, blue-domed mosaic whirlpool, and indoor swimming pool dissolve stress, while the four exercise studios revitalize with classes in Qi Gong, Pilates, yoga, and ballet. However, it’s the private consultations with nutritionists, seminars in dream interpretation, drumming, and sound therapy, as well as lectures in heart health by renowned cardiologists that truly distinguish this spa program from countless other luxury spas.
