Spa Soiree Wellness Weekend At Gurney's Montauk

We are SNOW-ver it! After this winter of shoveling endless amounts of snow, a little R&R is desperately needed. How about a stay-cation? You deserve a weekend away. The best part, we've cut out the travel. The remedy, a trip to Montauk. The Independent and The Wizard of Spa are once again bringing another Spa Soirée celebration to the East End. This time it's not just a party. It's a party and a Wellness Weekend at Gurney's Montauk. After the past few months of avoiding the gym (it's not your fault, the roads weren't safe!) and cursing the snow blower, a weekend of wellness may be just the answer to your winter blues. Check in on Saturday, April 25, and head to Gurney's Seawater Spa. Use of the spa is included in the Wellness Weekend along special spa promotions. After relaxing in the spa, swimming in the seawater pool, indulging in one of Gurney's many thalasso treatments, or working out at the fitness center, Wellness Weekend guests are invited to a VIP cocktail hour prior to the Spa Soirée. At the cocktail hour guests will sip spa-tinis while they meet and greet with other Wellness Weekend guests. The fun is just getting started. Following the VIP cocktail hour, the Spa Soirée begins. The Soirée, sponsored by Sothys Paris, is an industry networking mixer that brings together spa-goers and the spa industry for an evening of mingling and fun. The Soirée takes place from 7 to 10 PM. Guests of the Spa Soirée enjoy complimentary spa-tini cocktails, a delicious menu of spa inspired hors d'oeuvres, gift bags filled with products and a silent spa auction. There will be music by DJ John Blandon. If you can't make it for the whole weekend but would still like to go to the Spa Soirée, tickets are available at www.spa-soiree.com for just $25. On Sunday morning guests are invited to feel a physical and spiritual uplift with a group oceanfront power walk. The ocean air will provide instant energy and balance, circulating oxygen and blood flow throughout the body. Following the walk will be a spa-inspired brunch, where Gurney's will create a menu to keep guests feeling healthy, satisfied, and ready for an active day. Next on the agenda, take a group nature hike through the stunning trails that overlook beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean at Montauk Point. Observe the seals that sunbathe on the rocks just off the shore in the spring. The walk is scenic, and includes a diverse ecosystem and abundant wildlife. Upon return there will be a screening of Susan Rockefeller's film Mission Of Mermaids: A Love Letter To The Ocean. Mission of Mermaids is an inspiring short film about mermaids, the beauty of the oceans and our need to preserve them before it is too late. The film will be introduced by Mermaid Ambassador Gina Bradley. The cost is $250 per person based on double occupancy, or $320 per person based on single occupancy, which includes Saturday night accommodations and all activities including the Spa Soirée.
