Wet-room body treatments you cannot get at a standard day spa

A real body treatment needs a wet room — a tiled suite with drainage, a shower and a heated table — and most shoreline spas simply do not have one. Ours supports warm parafango mud application, slimplaster contouring wraps, sculptice cold-thermogenic treatment, full-body salt and sugar polishing, and mustard hydrotub soaks.

Every wrap starts with exfoliation so the active ingredients actually reach skin, is followed by a cocooned rest period under warm blankets, and ends with a shower and hydrating application — usually 60 minutes door to door.

Detox, contour, or just smoother skin

Guests book wraps for three reasons: an event where they want visibly smoother, tighter skin; a genuine detox and circulation reset, often paired with the infrared sauna; or as the centerpiece of a half-day retreat. Tell your therapist which of the three you are after and the products and pressure change accordingly.

Frequently asked questions

What is a body wrap?

A body wrap applies a treatment mask (mud, mineral clay, herbs, or contouring formula) to your full body, wraps you in warm linens for 20–30 minutes, then rinses in our private hydrotub. You leave detoxified, hydrated, and visibly smoother.

Do body wraps really work for inch loss?

Slimplaster and contouring wraps deliver real, measurable inch loss the same day — typically 1–4 inches across waist, hips, and thighs. The result holds best when paired with hydration and 2–3× per month frequency.

What should I wear?

Disposable undergarments are provided. Every body treatment uses our private wet room with rinse-down shower and locker.

Can I add a body wrap to a massage day?

Yes — body wrap + massage is the spa's most-booked half-day package. Allow 2.5 hours total and arrive with hair clipped up.

How often should I do body treatments?

Monthly for skin maintenance, weekly for 4–6 weeks before a wedding, beach trip, or event for the visible-glow series.
