St Vincent and the Grenadines / Special Interests / Spas & Wellbeing

Spas were late in coming to St Vincent and the Grenadines, but there are now a handful of options (most islands have something available) if you would like a massage, beauty treatment or other alternative therapy. Several of the hotels have a room that can be used for treatments or a dedicated spa building, often in an idyllic setting with a stunning view. Hotel spas generally allow outside visitors, but equally, if your hotel does not have a spa, it is usually possible to call on an outside practitioner to come to your room through the front desk of your hotel. Massage therapists will also come to yachts.
