Willow Stream Spa offers a new Spring package designed for relaxation and renewal

        Scottsdale, Arizona, March 2008 - Take a renewal break at Willow Stream Spa at the AAA Five Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.  This Spring, the resort is offering a choice of four unique spa experiences that are custom-designed to mimic the natural effects of the season by promoting relaxation and regeneration, a "Seasonings" concept inspired by the age-old traditions of Eastern Ayurveda. Each of the four experiences uses a blend of essential oils including Fennel, Juniper, Cypress, Grapefruit, Black Pepper, Rosemary and Sweet Orange to help cleanse and renew the body. 

The Spa Season Package features luxurious accommodations in a Fairmont room, complimentary one room category upgrade at the time of booking, a $25 spa credit per person to use toward a Seasonings treatment, Willow Stream Spa robe and slippers for use during the stay, a spa gift from Kerstin Florian International (one gift per person with a maximum of 2 persons per room) and a meeting with a Spa Coordinator to create and book their own spa experience.  This package is available April 1 through May 31, 2008 and is priced starting at $399 per room, per night, based on double occupancy.

There are four Seasonings experiences from which to choose:

·               Total Adjustment - a 90-minute treatment, perfect for an introduction to Ayurveda.  It combines the spa’s six most popular experiences,         including a footbath and scrub, botanical body mask, herbal exfoliation with dry-brushing, massage, hot towel wrap and mini-face treatment.     It is priced at $289.

·       Feet First - a 60-minute treatment designed for tension relief. This experience begins with a foot soak and scrub, and then follows with a foot         and hand massage, and ends with a head and shoulder massage while the hands and feet absorb the essential oils.  Feet First is priced at $179.

·       Scrub and Massage - this 90-minute treatment is a body scrub teamed with a full body massage.  Its aim is to revive and energize. The Scrub     and Massage is priced at $259.

·       Bath and Massage - a 90-minute treatment that starts with a therapeutic seasonal bath that has been used for centuries for healing.  It is paired       with a nurturing aromatherapy massage to keep the body in tune with the seasonal changes.  It is priced at $249.
