While the island of Trinidad comes alive with its world-renowned Carnival celebration, guests at Hyatt Regency Trinidad can enjoy a spa menu reflecting the festivities year-round at Spa Esencia. Treatments that highlight significant Carnival experiences include the Signature Dimanche Gras Massage, combining aromatherapy, warm stone, Swedish and deep tissue massage; the Express Yourself Body Scrub, created from locally grown sugar cane and indigenous coconut oil and the Mineral Mud Mas Body Wrap, inspired by Mud Mas, the traditional Carnival masquerade in which revelers cover themselves in mud and dance in the streets until dawn.

“I have always had a passion for holistic wellness and the ‘celebration of self’ theme that is prominent throughout our treatments, helps to promote that concept,” says new Spa Director Zahra Duncombe. “Trinidad’s Carnival festivities are a source of pride for our island and we love being able to share that energy with our guests at Spa Esencia.”

The uniquely designed experience at Spa Esencia maintains the festive atmosphere of Trinidad and Tobago by infusing the theme of celebration with pampering treatments to prepare, indulge, detox and retreat the body, mind and spirit. Spa Fete packages offer a playful variety of half and full-day celebrations which include combinations of massages, wraps, facials and spa cuisine. When booking a spa treatment, guests also receive access to the 24-hour StayFit gym and infinity rooftop pool overlooking the Gulf of Paria.
