S

pas have long been considered a 

luxury, once-upon-a-time viewed as 

places reserved for and frequented 

only by those whose fi nances 

would allow such indulgences of time and 

extravagance. But as times have changed, so,

Beach Golf Resort, Serenity by the Sea Spa 

features a salon equipped with hairstyling 

and makeup chairs and a lounge-like 

manicure and pedicure room, in addition to 

boasting everything imaginable for creating 

a complete experience for mind, body, and 

soul. Within its 14,500 square feet, the spa 

also holds a total of 16 treatment rooms 

offering every type of service—from facials

undeniable elegance that is a refl ection of the

themselves that set it apart from others 

in the area, offering an impressive range 

of rejuvenating treatments for both men 

and women created with the sole focus 

of bringing nothing but the best—and
