Rose Hall, Jamaica
Spa concept developement, spa pre-opening services, and daily spa management
Tucked away in the exclusive Rose Hall enclave of Montego Bay, Fern Tree, the Spa at Half Moon is a natural paradise and nurturing refuge with services, treatments and facilities that harness healing powers unique to the Caribbean.
Half Moon converted its signature villa, Fern Tree House, into Fern Tree, the Spa at Half Moon™, a 68,000 square foot indoor/outdoor sanctuary for the mind and body. Drawing from the local lush landscape and centuries-old healing traditions as inspiration, the spa melds modern-day techniques with Jamaica’s ancient healing remedies of native herbs, fruits and botanicals. Fern Tree also houses a relaxation lounge, yoga pavilion, hydrotherapy swimming pool, sculpture garden and several water features.
As part of the Fern Tree complex, Half Moon also features six signature beachfront spa suites, the very first of its kind in the Caribbean. Each state-of-the-art suite has added amenities that provide for in-room treatments, such as yoga, which further extends Fern Tree’s wellness experience into guests’ accommodations.
Adding to the unique luxury of the Fern Tree experience, Half Moon has an on-site Spa Elder™ to guide, create and counsel clients on a path to wellness with bespoke programmes and regimes. With more than 35 years of experience, Stella Gray, the Chief Spa Elder ™ has been creating these treatments for decades. The elder individually meets with guests to develop treatments for their specific needs. The majority of her therapies come from the natural herbs and botanicals grown in the on-site garden that she personally tends.
Spa treatment rooms are set amidst lush gardens allowing guests the option of having their room enclosed or open to their own private garden terrace. Couples can reserve one of the plantation-style couples massage suites, bedecked with wooden millwork, pitched ceilings and private patio with outdoor soaking tubs. Families, wedding parties and groups will enjoy the VIP Spa Lounge, offering a separate living room, treatment room and private pool affording the group quality bonding time and private tranquillity. Additionally, two over-water bungalows that open out to the sea are the ultimate in peaceful relaxation.
