Essentially Yours
 Linger amongst the colours, textures, tastes — and especially fragrances — that are Bermuda. Aromatherapy blends scents with surroundings for moments of perfect peace.
Egyptians were known to use aromatics in mood-altering incense, medicines and skin-care preparations, and to slow decay. The ancient art of aromatherapy combines plants’ essential oils to relax, invigorate and refresh. Fruit and herb extracts inspire many bath oils, scrubs, perfumes and lotions, developed for their restorative and nutritive powers. When inhaled, the scents of these essential oils offer psychological benefits, while their natural constituents supply therapeutic benefits. Aromatherapy treatments employ natural ingredients like cold-pressed vegetable oils, jojoba, hydrosols, herbs, milk powders, sea salts, clays, muds and sugar exfoliants.
Head to the Spa at Elbow Beach, where Bermuda’s signature drink has been turned into a spa experience, the Rum Swizzle ritual. Experience a delicious pineapple body scrub, followed by an aromatic bath of orange, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon and lime juices. They provoke the senses and heal the body with antioxidants to rejuvenate dull skin. Indulge in scalp treatment with oils from flowers such as hibiscus and bhringraj to stimulate hair growth. Or try a Bermuda Pink Sand Scrub, fusing island sands with moisturising grapeseed oil, applied with warm, moist mitts to exfoliate and refine the skin.
 Willow Stream Health Club & Spa weaves aromatherapy into Bermuda’s natural beauty. Rest in the garden admiring the ocean while enjoying an aromatic massage. Choose your oils: lemon to energise, basil for concentration, chamomile to induce meditation, sandalwood for spiritual harmony or jasmine as an aphrodisiac. Another highlight at Willow Stream is the Island Inspiration Body Sorbet, beginning with a massage of rich cream, followed by sorbet scented with hibiscus, lavender or spice trees, combined with orange. The essences will have you radiating that warm island glow.
At Samadhi Spa, treatments take advantage of ingredients such as grape, cocoa and truffle, as well as gotu kola herb. All of them are 100 percent organic and will relax you, leaving you with that fantastic “spa smell.”
Relax, enjoy, save and see Bermuda by bus. A blue or pink pole indicates bus stops. If the pole is topped with blue, the bus travels from Hamilton; if the pole is topped pink, the route is toward Hamilton.
