It’s About Time….. The Spa at Terranea offers a menu that is mindful of the body’s natural circadian rhythms. In the morning, when the body’s internal rhythm dictates a rise in temperature, hormonal levels and blood pressure, the spa offers vibrant and invigorating treatments such as barefoot walking, coastal hikes, sunrise yoga, cleansing rituals and energetic massage. As the body begins its slow, cooling process in the afternoon to prepare for rest, the spa features gentle, quieting treatments that encourage rest and relaxation including meditation, aromatherapy, soothing wraps and tranquil baths.

Four signature rituals that showcase this concept include:

Signature Morning Rituals:

Reflections in Crystal (60 minutes):
This is invigorating foot treatment incorporates Crystal Quartz, singing bowls, a beautiful copper foot bath and reflex-structural foot massage to encourage alignment of body and mind. Crystal Quartz is indigenous to the property and is known for its energizing and cleansing properties. The treatment leaves guest stimulated and balanced both mentally and physically- the perfect way to start the day.

Ocean Prelude (120 minutes):
Ocean Prelude is inspired by the primordial source of life, the ocean, whose chemical composition mirrors human body fluid. In this stimulating treatment, sea salts, marine clay, laminaria (kelp) oil and kelp seaweed help to nourish the body’s inner currents. Guests begin with a replenishing seaweed wrap rich in vital nutrients before slipping into a warm salt water bath. Cleansed and nourished, guests indulge in a sensuous, robust long stroke laminaria oil massage. The benefits are better absorption of nutrients to improve skin tone, circulation, energy, focus and health.

Signature Afternoon/Evening Rituals:

El Segundo Blue – A Ritual of Metamorphosis (90 min):
The El Segundo Blue is a beautiful and rare butterfly that is only found on the Palos Verdes coast and native to the property. This treatment pays homage to the transformation and rebirth of the butterfly. Guests begin with a slow, rhythmic massage of sensuous, aromatic botanicals that help to detoxify and provide a deep sense of well being. Afterward, guests are cocooned in a sea blue mineral clay wrap rich in magnesium, the element of relaxation. A divine head & scalp massage inspires bliss and soaring dreams of flight.

Flickering Embers (120 min):
As the sun sets and night fall, it is the perfect time to prepare for rest and restoration. The glow of flickering embers from a nearby fireplace, the subtle alchemy of incense and the sound of ocean waves sets the tone for a deeply relaxing experience of the essential self. Guest begin by basking in the soothing warmth of a nutrient rich, detoxifying volcanic ash body wrap, which is followed by a neutral bath of fragranced essential oils and healing magnesium. Afterward, guests sip on an herbal elixir, then lie down and surrender to the ethereal pleasures of a Hara balancing massage. The Hara balancing massage is an abdominal massage – the Hara is the energy center of the body – that encourages full relaxation and rest. Warm, comforting marine poultices placed across the lower back, knees and neck gently prepare guests for a night of perfect rest.

It’s About Place….
Adding to the spa experience is an exquisite spa design that harnesses the energy and beauty of its surroundings. Ocean views reign throughout, particularly from the second story oceanfront co-ed lounge complete with cozy fireplace and walkout balcony that gives the illusion of being positioned directly over the ocean. Stone floors with sea shell formations and a barnacle encrusted fireplace speak of the sea below. Plaster wall coverings in orange and yellow remind guests of the sun’s warmth and radiance. A glass wall separating the lounge areas has a ripple effect reminiscent of the ocean water, while the glass wall in the couple’s treatment area is reflective of the pampass grass found in the area.

Spa goers can alternate between the oceanfront lounge and intimate outdoor lounge areas that feature hot tubs, cold plunges, fire pits and relaxation areas. For special occasions, the spa features three stunning VIP rooms; each set up to provide multiple treatments so that guests do not have to move rooms. The first offers sweeping ocean views, a free standing copper tub, a walkout oceanfront balcony and a Swiss shower. VIP Suite 2 is perfectly set up for couples with a built in fireplace surrounded by basalt stone from the property, hydrotherapy tub for two and two treatment tables. The final VIP suite offers the healing powers of an energy-friendly infrared sauna and Swiss shower, as well as two treatment tables.

The Spa at Terranea is a 25,000 square-foot facility that includes 24 luxury treatment rooms, three VIP suites, separate indoor/outdoor lounge retreats for men and women, lush garden areas with cozy fire pits, an oceanfront lap pool, 5,000 square foot Fitness and Wellness Center, full-service salon and spa café.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marrying cutting-edge design, modern conveniences and the tradition of exclusivity and service at one of the world’s finest resorts, One Thousand Ocean in Boca Raton represents the ideal convergence of luxury condominium and premier resort-style living.

The dramatic, seven-story, curvilinear building – under development by LXR Luxury Resorts & Hotels – is situated on a private peninsula bordering one of the most coveted inlets in South Florida. Here, one is surrounded by sweeping panoramas of the ocean and Intracoastal Waterway on three sides, as well as vistas of sky and city. Immediately adjacent to One Thousand Ocean to the north is the Boca Raton Resort & Club’s Beach Club, a recently remodeled oasis at the edge of the Atlantic.

“Because One Thousand Ocean is on the grounds of the Boca Raton Resort & Club, residents will have access to all the amenities of the Resort, not only at the Beach Club but also at the main locale just across the waterway,” explained Jamie Telchin, LXR’s president of development.

A legend among the world’s resorts, the AAA 4-Diamond-rated Boca Raton Resort & Club is a haven of lush beauty, comfort and sophistication.

“This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 52 select residents to have the most prestigious address in South Florida. Without question, One Thousand Ocean has all of the components that set a new standard in luxury waterfront living,” Telchin said. “Our discerning buyers are accustomed to having conveniences at their fingertips. If they want a bottle of chilled champagne delivered to their residence, or to cater a dinner party, the Resort is prepared to furnish what’s required.”

Inside the new building, two-story Beach Villas harmoniously blend with Residences and Penthouses. Units average 4,000 square feet under air, with terraces averaging just under 1,200 square feet. Prices start at approximately $2.75 million.

The diversity of floor plan choices enables buyers to create a home that is uniquely their own – one infused with natural light through floor-to-ceiling glass. Also included are private elevator landings, fireplaces and two-car garages. Top-of-the-line finishes and soft silhouettes further contribute to inviting spaces just right for social gatherings or quiet time alone.

Understated elegance and remarkable artistic precision are evident throughout. Master bedrooms are complemented by expansive his/her dressing rooms with custom-designed millwork. Appointed with marble and stone, spa-like baths are the perfect sanctuaries. Signature Italian cabinetry with stone countertops and mosaic-accented backsplashes combine with SubZero refrigeration, Wolf natural gas ranges, Miele dishwashers and Julien sinks to define the impeccably crafted gourmet kitchens. And, spacious, open-air outdoor terraces were never better, as they are outfitted with private plunge pools and outdoor kitchens.

“When you add in the spectacular vistas and the resort lifestyle advantages, it is hard to compare this property to any other,” Telchin remarked.

The building will provide 24-hour security service, 24-hour desk attendant, concierge service and valet parking. Planned on-site amenities are an oceanfront pool and sun deck, with a select number of private cabanas; oceanfront fitness center with a spa treatment suite; yoga and Pilates rooms; lakefront lounge with catering kitchen; conference room; and multi-purpose playroom.
