New Herbal Thai Ritual At The Spa At Mandarin Oriental, Miami Allows Guests To Feel And Do Good. Native trees to be donated to Everglades National Park for each guest receiving the herbal healing experience
The Five-Star Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Miami launches the Herbal Thai Compress Ritual, a treatment designed for soothing muscles with compresses made of naturally therapeutic ingredients, while relaxing the mind and body. This rewarding experience will also help to support Florida’s World Heritage site, as a live oak, bald cypress, slash pine or gumbo limbo tree will be planted at neighboring Everglades National Park in honor of each guest when they book the treatment.
“As members of the World Heritage Alliance for Sustainable Tourism, we are proud to support conservation through partnering with Everglades National Park,” said Osa Mallo, director of the spa at The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. “Every time guests enjoy this therapeutic treatment, they will be helping to preserve and protect our nearest UNESCO World Heritage site for today’s visitors and future generations.”
The Herbal Thai compresses are made of restorative ingredients such as lemongrass, ginger and peppermint and are steamed to perfection before they are positioned on key muscles of the body. The Ritual is combined with a massage of the guest’s choice for the ultimate rejuvenating experience. At the end of the treatment, guests will be asked to select which type of tree they would like to be planted to help enrich Everglades National Park, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States boasting rare and endangered species.
The Herbal Thai Compress Ritual lasts for 90 minutes and costs $275. For more information or reservations, please contact The Spa directly at (305) 913 8332 or visit Mandarin Oriental, Miami’s website.
