Aquae
Sulis at the JW Marriott in Las Vegas is a world away
from the world. Defenses melt away in just preparing
for this journey of rejuvenation and discovery. Water
is the thing here. It is at the heart of healing power
and spirit for this spa so it is only natural that
couples prepare for their romantic odyssey by soaking
in a circuit of cooling therapy pools and pods. You
will start out alone in the Ritual Room with calming
hot and stimulating cold plunges followed by a soak
in the warm float pool. Enter the gardens and join
your loved one in outdoor pools surrounded by waterfalls.
Move in and out of six invigorating chambers of shallow
waters - each pulsing its jets to massage a key part
of your body, to loosen tense muscles and tempt away
the toxins. Dry your skin in the sun's warmth. Sip
Elixir teas as you settle into the moment and wait
for the therapist to guide you to your next awakening.
At Aquae Sulis you can choose from a laundry list
of possible experiences.
You can have full-body side-by-side Swedish massages
with light to medium pressure for the relief of general
tension. Long, gliding strokes and kneading techniques
alleviate muscle fatigue, improve circulation, and
reduce stress.
*Swedish
Massage 50/80 min $240/$330 per couple

Tissue, Swedish, Desert Stone, Reflexology, Scalp,
Foot or Aromatherapy. Your Massage Therapists will
help you customize these treatments to fit your specific
needs.

Find your peace - and stride -- in the desert, together,
as the spa's yoga instructor guides you and your lover
through a mind, body and spirit-connecting adventure

Go ahead. Go all the way. Get in the car and get away
for a Couples Weekend at JW Marriott. Kindle your
romance, crank up your chahkras, tickle your kundalini.
This is a weekend that will let you have it all. Your
two-night stay in one of the resort's luxurious suites
includes breakfast in bed daily. Day one will begin
with a couple's day of golf at TPC at the Canyons
followed by a one-hour lesson with a Tour Academy
pro. Top off the day with a romantic dinner either
in-room or at one of the resort's prestigious restaurants:
Shizen or Ceres. On day two, enjoy breakfast, followed
by a 50-minute couples massage at Aquae Sulis followed
by …doing absolutely nothing. Spend the day lounging
by the pool inside a private cabana that is perfect
for cuddling. Do your NY Times crossword puzzle together;
finish that book on your night table and let time
stand still, just for a little while, with the one
you love.
