Celebrate With Your Valentine at The Spa at The Ri

RANCHO MIRAGE, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 14, 2017) - The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Rancho Mirage is giving Cupid a run for his money this month. Not only does the hillside setting and organically modern design of this Palm Springs day spa create an aura of romantic seclusion, but the spa's latest treatment package is designed to bring couples closer than ever before.

The Soul Mates Massage, available through February 28, 2017, utilizes the universal aphrodisiac, chocolate, to set the mood. The experience begins with a side-by-side massage in which the therapists use warm chocolate massage oil to relax the couple. At once fragrant and satisfying, the massage oil complements the selection of chocolate truffles that is also included in the package.

Nothing accompanies chocolate better than champagne; the package includes a glass for each guest. After the massage, the couple can browse the Spa's boutique and enjoy a 10% savings on all retail purchases.

While the Soul Mates Massage captures the romantic excitement of Valentine's Day, the spa hotel itself is a year-round destination for visitors to Palm Springs, California. Spa treatments regularly incorporate indigenous herbs and plants for efficacy and a sense of geographical authenticity. As a result, the menu of services features one-of-a-kind experiences, from massages with heated poultices made from desert wildflowers, to exfoliations performed with mineral salts.

Guests staying at the hotel can look forward to complementing their spa experience with a range of mesmerizing moments and amenities that make the luxury hotel one of the most highly regarded in Palm Springs. Guest rooms feature private balconies, for example, to drink in dramatic mountain views, alongside state-of-the-art features. The décor answers its setting with a palette of stone, wood and fire. And the dining and recreation opportunities offer a curated taste of the surrounding desert city.

The 80-minute Soul Mates Massage package is priced at $440 and can be reserved by calling (760) 202-6170.
