Okinawa’s most beautiful luxury space: Ishiba Ritz-Carlton Spa



The Ritz-Carlton Spa at ESPA, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature, is a resort hotel built based on the world heritage site Shuri Castle in Okinawa. It is a high-end SPA facility in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Okinawa.



The Ritz-Carlton Spa by ESPA is a spa brand from the UK called ESPA. It provides the purest and most advanced treatments and sells ESPA's basic cosmetics. The spa has selected the techniques and treatments of the popular Japanese spa that won the best award in the "Crystal Award 2013" to provide each guest with the most suitable and high-quality enjoyment.



The sunlight that shines through the leaves from the high ceiling and the highly designed cedar walls create a very comfortable impression. Everything given by nature, such as wood, water, wind, and sand, has left traces in the museum. The air in the museum is lingering with a light fragrance. As soon as you enter, your whole body seems to be sublimated.

The entire spa treatment emphasizes privacy and takes place in completely separate treatment rooms. The changing rooms and rest areas are also impeccably perfect. There are 10 spa rooms in total. The treatment bed uses Okinawa's traditional dyeing cloth "Akata" and displays the works of the famous modern Ryukyu glass craftsman, Inamine Moriyoshi. It is a space where you can experience the Okinawan style.

Hot spring bathing facilities, gym and high-end equipment are all available




In addition to spa facilities, the hotel also has a separate hot spring bathing center for men and women called "Heat Experience" (heat experience), a nail studio, and an indoor swimming pool.



My favorite is "technogym", which comes from the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in Europe and provides complete fitness equipment facilities. You can also order some light meals and drinks. Exercise in the company of nature, and feel full of happiness while sweating.

The limited popular "Ryukyu nature elements" gives a warm care to the skin all over the body

"Ryukyu nature elements" (120 points/90 points) is the most popular limited-edition body treatment at the Ritz-Carlton Spa in Ishiba. It uses red salt made from loofah and moong peaches, seawater from Okinawa, and sweet potatoes. It is formed by non-heating and crystallizing Okinawa seawater using the world's first patented salt production method. High-end nutritional care that embodies the various qualities of Okinawa. All very desirable.

In Okinawa, the Old Calendar Obon Festival and the Old New Year Festival are held on the lunar calendar, which is based on the "lunar calendar" (lunar calendar). "Ryukyu nature elements" absorbs this custom and wisdom, and replaces essential oils and emulsions according to the cycle of full and waning moons. It will relax your whole body and mind to its original state, eliminating all stress.

During the 120-minute treatment, you first apply "red salt" and then "milk salt" to remove useless dead skin cells on the body and restore smooth skin. Afterwards, apply the moisturizing and anti-oxidizing Yuetou body oil all over the body, and massage the whole body with heated warm stones to relieve muscle stress and replenish vitality.

It also needs to be mentioned that suitable essential oils are selected according to the different conditions of the guests and the matching massage is carried out. Finally, a scalp massage is performed, and of course no makeup is required. If you choose "Ryukyu nature elements", you will be touched from head to toe.

For those who want to experience more luxury, please choose "Private Spa Suite"



"Although Ryukyu Nature Elements can take care of the whole body very well, if you are not satisfied with this, I recommend the "private spa suite". I believe its luxury will surprise you. There are two types of SPAs with private baths: the "Ocean Suite" with a living room and the "Forest Suite" with a mixed steam bath.



The "ocean suite" has two exquisite rooms, which can be enjoyed by one or two people at the same time. If you are a couple, a couple, or two close friends who want to enjoy a SPA together, the "ocean suite" is a good choice. During the spa, the first 1 time is for relaxation, and you can enjoy the high-end care of Japan and Switzerland at the same time. You can also look out through the bright windows at the green outside, which is the ultimate enjoyment. If, dear, you have both money and time, how about coming to Okinawa to splurge? It will heal your body and mind, and also bring you good complexion and good health.
