The Luxe Island Spa Retreat Sleep Story.
Fall asleep as you listen.
This is a story about making time for yourself and giving yourself the gift of self-love,
Self-care,
And much needed relaxation.
Welcome,
We are Melanie and Stacey and we're excited to go on this journey with you.
Lie down and make yourself comfortable as you prepare for a night of rest.
Close your eyes and relax.
This is your time to release the stress of the day and simply relax and listen as you drift off into a peaceful sleep.
Settle in and let's begin our story.
As the sun dips low over the horizon,
Cast your mind to a place of complete relaxation and rejuvenation.
Picture yourself drifting along crystal waters aboard a private yacht.
You're sipping your favorite chilled beverage as you glide towards a secluded tropical paradise.
Billowing white sails catch fading sunlight,
Glistening like shimmering diamonds against vivid twilight skies.
Your captain tips his hat with a smile telling you to enjoy your luxurious retreat.
You deserve it.
Stepping onto warm teak decks,
Your breath catches at the stunning locale coming into view.
Towering volcanic cliffs emerge from teal seas,
Sheltering a crescent beach of finest white sand within a natural harbor.
Palm trees line the shore,
Palm fronds rustling gently.
Behind rise lush rainforest hills and waterfalls cascading into mirror-like lagoons.
Off in the distance,
A thatched roof resort perches elegantly upon the highest point.
Terraced pools and open-air pavilions glinting gold in the fading light.
Large,
Richly appointed canoes glide out to meet your yacht.
Crew dressed in floral printed fabrics all with welcoming smiles.
Your bags are loaded aboard and you are served a refreshing chilled beverage and fresh tropical fruits that are meticulously arranged just for you.
Paddling smoothly to shore,
Hands trail through clear waters leaving ripples of tiny waves.
On the beach,
Staff dressed in pristine whites usher you up a winding jungle path.
Lanterns glowing to light your way.
Exotic night blooms float their heady perfume on the balmy breeze as you ascend into this tropical paradise.
Emerging from the foliage,
Your breath catches again.
Before you lies the very pinnacle of pampering.
An exclusive five-star resort nestled among a beautiful jungle wilderness.
Terraced verandas and open-air pavilions spill down misty cliffs overlooking the pristine curve of beach below and the private lagoon beyond.
Caramelized stone paths wind between reflective pools and lush tropical gardens abundant with rare flowers,
Plants,
And fruit trees.
A spa director greets you with a gracious smile,
Escorting you on a personal tour.
Your oceanfront villa is a sanctuary of velvety comforts and soothing elegance befitting royalty.
Smooth volcanic rock walls stand open to fresh sea breezes laden with salt and plumeria.
Inside,
Plush furnishings upholstered in rich silk and beautiful hardwood floors polished to mirror perfection.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlook the private terrace garden and lapping cobalt waters below.
Your private infinity pool is nestled amongst fragrant blooms,
Steam rising faintly from its scalloped edges.
Sliding open the teak doors,
Your private outdoor soaking tub awaits in the middle of exotic greenery and flickering twinkle lights.
Stepping into its perfect heat feels like sinking into a mineral spring with sore muscles unknotting instantly.
A chalice serenades softly from somewhere on the resort property.
Stars emerge one by one overhead,
Sipping a cool drink from a beautiful crystal glass.
Any remaining stress dissolves swiftly away on warm tropical scents.
Here,
In the very lap of luxurious indulgence,
All worldly cares seem vast oceans away,
And the word that comes to your mind is bliss.
Pure bliss.
Morning sunlight filters through your silken curtains.
You wake feeling refreshed and restored.
A plush robe and slippers await to envelop you in buttery softness.
Sliding open glass doors once more,
A table stands with a lavish breakfast spread,
Tailored specially to your wants,
Needs,
And taste.
Perfectly ripened tropical fruits,
Flaky pastries and croissants,
Homemade jams and freshly churned butter,
Artisanal yogurt parfaits,
Steaming coffee and chilled juices painstakingly crafted for peak flavors.
Surrounding gardens abound with vibrant birdlife flitting from blossom to blossom.
Their songs,
Nature's very own serenade,
Bring a smile to your face as you sit in gratitude,
Taking it all in.
Nothing could prepare you,
However,
For the ultimate sanctuary that awaits.
The spa's indoor-outdoor oasis nestled privately amongst jungle greenery.
Stepping through manicured hedges,
You gasp in surprise and wonder before you sprawls an elaborate water palace reflecting pools and cascades of serenading guests amid towering varieties of rare flowers.
Glass-walled yet private treatment rooms offer panoramic jungle and ocean views.
A skilled therapist dressed in pristine white glides serenely over to pamper you with a soothing massage.
Your massage is heavenly,
Warm volcanic stones kneading knotted muscles into total relaxation.
High in the treetops,
Birds sing and call out while butterflies peacefully glide by.
Gentle waves lap the shore far below as your cares melt away,
Tensions flowing out to sea on each exhalation.
Upon emerging,
A private infinity pool awaits among the luscious greenery you've ever seen.
Soft sand-bottom waters,
Perfect for floating lazily beneath a rainbow of tropical blooms,
Invite you to glide in and relax even more.
Staff appear silently to refresh ice-cold drinks and variety of snacks for you.
They're fussing over every comfort and need you may have.
Lunch in the spa cafe proves to be a tranquil delight.
Locally sourced tapas and island delicacies pair perfectly with views overlooking paradise.
Conversations flow easily among like-minded souls,
Seeking renewal together.
Pastries,
Tea cakes,
Cookies,
And passion fruit tea soothe mid-afternoon drowsiness,
Inviting rest within soft,
Hanging cocoon swings suspended between swaying palm trees.
Gentle island breezes rock you softly to sleep under fluttering white netting serenaded by birds and the crashing surf far below.
Awakening refreshed once more to smiling staff and trays loaded with scrumptious bites,
You bathe in the afterglow of complete relaxation.
Wishes granted.
Skin glows radiantly and is hydrated.
Muscles feel loose and balanced.
Spirit feels light yet centered within.
Private yoga on the cliffside at sunset proves to be the perfect blending of body,
Breath,
And vibrant natural beauty.
Down below,
A multiple-course gourmet meal awaits you by candlelight with dishes lovingly crafted from fresh local ingredients.
Under starry skies,
Massages on the beach soothe any remaining cares.
Warm sand cushions your tired muscles as salt water laps around you,
Mingling with aromatic oils and heady tropical floral scents.
Gentle waves sing lullabies as luminous clusters of plankton await beneath rippling waters,
Glowing faintly in the breaking surf.
Back in your villa,
Your oversized soaking tub,
You drift blissfully off to sleep,
Surrounded by the natural splendor of the resort,
Restored wholly within both mind and spirit.
Here,
In paradise's very heart,
No cares can penetrate the sanctuary of absolute indulgence and renewal.
Sleep peacefully,
Knowing only relaxation awaits come the morning sun.
