The Tides Zihuatanejo Spa recently re-launched with updated facilities and a fresh treatment menu using a marine-derived line of skin care products by Osea. The spa is home to both the worldwide debut of The Tides Signature Lava Shell Therapy and later in 2008, the in-room line of body-care products designed exclusively for T
he Tides hotels and resorts by Osea.
Our newly refreshed spa at Zihuatanejo provides the perfect setting for the exciting new Tides-brand amenities we are introducing,” said Liz Ratcliff, Corporate Director of Spa Development for Kor Hotel Group.
Our work with Osea and Spa Revolutions, the creators of the Lava Shells used in our new signature treatment, is inspired by their dedication to ocean-based and sustainable products, in keeping with The Tides coastal ethos and environmental commitments. These debuts mark the worldwide launch of both the revolutionary new self-heating Lava Shell products and the first Tides-Osea product line.
Global Launch of a Warming Therapy Zihuatanejo. Our intimate new facility is now the first spa in the world to offer guests The Tides’ signature Lava Shell Therapy massage. A holistic treatment that epitomizes the brand’s coastal spirit, the therapy utilizes a revolutionary system of self-heating tiger clam shells in its Swedish – style massage. Developed by innovative spa products and services company Spa Revolutions, the finely polished shells generate heat through
contact with gels derived from sea kelp, Dead Sea salts and self-heating natural minerals (Lava Gel™) and retain the heat for up to an hour.
The Tides brand from Kor Hotel Group represents everything we could have hoped for in a worldwide product launch,” said Melissa Mao, VP Marketing & Business Development for Spa Revolutions. “Our Lava Shells will get premium exposure to some of the most discerning spa goers in the world.
At The Tides spas, the signature Lava Shell Therapy begins with an aromatic essential-oil application, using an all-new product designed specially for. The Tides by Osea. Blended from basil, Bulgarian lavender, geranium, grape fruit and jasmine, the oil helps balance the central nervous system and reduces stress. Holding heated shells in the palm of the hand, therapists apply traditional Swedish massage strokes for a full-body treatment, followed by a massage with the hands. More powerful than traditional Hot Stone methods, Lava Shell Therapy drives off calcium ions with waves of healing energy, enhancing skin tone and radiating deep within the skin.
