The Spa at Encore Boston Harbor
At the opulent Spa at Encore Boston Harbor, lined with Venetian chandeliers and hand-painted silk walls, you’ll find a truly unique summer remedy for stressed minds and bodies. The spa’s signature 90-minute Crystal Reiki Massage Therapy fuses energy healing with deep relaxation. This powerful ritual begins with an energy scan using a pendulum and an aura cleansing with tuning forks and crystals. These sound vibrations and crystal energies help balance overactive energy and promote healing, paving the way for a soothing full-body massage combined with Reiki techniques. The treatment culminates in a guided meditation and a final “tuning” of the body’s frequencies, leaving you realigned, well-rested, and anxiety-free. It’s an ideal choice to soothe post-travel stress. After your Crystal Reiki Massage, you can unwind in the sauna, steam room, whirlpool, or rest on the heated tiled loungers to extend that blissful post-treatment glow.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Boston
Renowned for its tranquil, East-meets-West approach to wellness, the Mandarin Oriental is spotlighting a trio of Natura Bissé experiences this summer, each designed to revive, replenish, and radiate from head to toe. Begin with the Diamond Luminous Facial, a brightening therapy that harnesses the power of a gentle, vitamin C-rich peel to sweep away dullness and even out pigmentation. Potent collagen serums and expert massage techniques infuse the skin with luminosity, making it an ideal antidote for sun-stressed complexions. From there, extend the glow to the body with the indulgent C+C Vitamin Body Ritual. This antioxidant-rich treatment, drenched in revitalizing citrus oils, begins with an invigorating scrub or wrap to smooth and prime the skin. A deeply hydrating application follows, leaving limbs silky, toned, and infused with renewed vitality. For the ultimate finish, surrender to the Diamond Well Living Ritual, a head-to-toe immersion in luxurious body care. Mineral-rich, anti-aging formulations are paired with gentle exfoliation, a nourishing body mask, and flowing massage techniques that melt away tension while restoring suppleness and radiance to the skin.
