Half Moon, the beautiful luxury resort located in Rose Hall, Jamaica, plans a new spa concept with a new spa facility and spa suites in early 2007.  The $4 million project will begin this summer.  Plans include the conversion of the resort's signature villa, Fern Tree House, into a 68,000-square-foot sanctuary for the mind and body.  The Fern Tree Spa will meld modern spa techniques with Jamaica's ancient healing remedies of native herbs, fruits and botanicals. 

Having at its foundation a philosophy of wellness, the Fern Tree Spa will introduce clients to a Spa Elder versed in the art of holistic healing, who will guide clients through the four phases of wellness addressing the individual, the body, the mind and the spirit.  Incorporating the natural herbs and botanicals found in Jamaica as a base, the Spa Elder will create a treatment menu that reflects both traditional remedies and present-day spa techniques.  Clients can also benefit from the Spa Elder's expertise via private consultations to develop personalized treatments or regimens of treatments and programs that follow a path to wellness.  This is truly a unique concept, and I'm looking forward to "test driving" it  myself in 2007!
