4. Explore Santa Barbara on an Electric Bike

The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara is the first hotel in Santa Barbara to officially offer guests complimentary use of the brand-new fleet of electric bikes by BCycle.

The all-electric bicycles have the ability to transport travelers up to 30 miles on a single charge at a maximum speed of 17 mph.

If you decide to go beyond the maximum range, the bike can simply be pedaled back to the resort just as one would a traditional, single-speed manual bike.

5. Embrace Santa Barbara’s Natural Beauty with a Jean-Michel Cousteau Educational Program

Explore the natural environment of California’s Gaviota Coast under the tutelage of professionals trained by Cousteau and his chief scientist, Richard Murphy, Ph.D.

Engage in guided nature walks on land and on sand, both in daytime and at night. These special explorations, however, are just one facet of the diverse and engaging program. “There’s an entire menu of activities,” says Murphy.

Le Royal Monceau turns into a ski resort

December 8, 2017

What about enjoying the snow and its freezy atmosphere without even having to leave Paris?
This Christmas, the patio of Le Royal Monceau turned into a real ski resort, Val Monceau!

From November 23rd, guests are invited to sit comfortably in one of the gondolas placed on the central terrace covered by snow. Or cosy up on your Paris Babymoon in one of the wood cabins embellished with warm fur throws.

At Val Monceau, you will also be able to take a break and enjoy a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Well, not pregnant mum, maybe next year, this one is just for dad to be!
This cuvée will perfectly match with one of the three unique signature cocktails imagined by the Chef Barman of the hotel Nicola Battafarano :

the « Monceau Madness » very tasty, with chocolate and vanilla flavours
the « Monceau Lake » with fruity notes
the « Monceau Alps » with honey sweet touches

Foodies will have the difficult task to choose between truffle hotdogs, smoked salmon waffles or the « Adorables » macarons from Pierre Hermé aromatized with foie gras, white truffle or caviar!

Last but not least, Maison Fusalp, the winter clothes specialist, will bring the final Alpine touch to this ephemeral ski resort. A collection of its unique Sport-Chic pieces, both technical and aesthetics, will be available to guests!

Pregnancy Spa Treatments at Weavers’ House Spa

December 1, 2017

We love the ‘My Bump and I Spa Menu’ with an absolutely perfect selection of pregnancy spa treatments. All fatigue reducing, super sumptuous products and safe, comforting pregnancy massage and treatments.

At Weavers’ House Spa at The Swan at Lavenham, Suffolk, Mum to Be is pampered with a selection of five pregnancy spa treatments from the second trimester onwards.

PREGNANCY SPA TREATMENTS AT WEAVERS’ HOUSE SPA

basq TLC FOR MUM TO BE

A complete head to toe spa experience that focuses on the head, bump and lower legs.
90 Minutes | £110

We begin with a relaxing head, neck and shoulder massage to release tension and congestion. We then move to the bump, where gentle dry brushing increases circulation, and a gentle exfoliation removes dead dull cells which improves the tone and elasticity of the skin. This is followed by an application of our luxurious basq Resilient Body Oil and basq Mega Moisture Butter on the skin to help prevent stretch marks. Whilst the cream and oil absorb into the skin, the lower legs are massaged to assist circulation and reduce swelling and heaviness in the legs.

A customized full body pregnancy massage using safe pre-natal techniques.
75 minutes | £100

Designed to relax, reduce fatigue, release tension, aches, pains, swelling and other discomforts associated with pregnancy. This indulgent massage will help increase circulation and benefit Mummy-to-be.

basq SKIN BOOSTING BODY EXFOLIATION

An instant fix for dry, itchy and stretched skin.
75 Minutes | £100

Relax and breathe deeply; inhale the calming benefits of lavender in this completely balancing and rejuvenating spa experience. Using our basq Perfecting Lavender Sugar scrub, we work to repair and restore youthful looking skin. Exfoliation is the best way to fuel skin renewal and discard damaged skin. As we polish, thirsty skin pulls in nutrients, resulting in a beautiful, healthy glow. This is followed by an application of our basq Mega Moisture Butter to nourish the skin with a blend of our powerful omega oils.

basq BABY BUMP TREATMENT

Reinforce the skin with deep hydration that targets scars and marks, whilst also helping with the tone and elasticity of the bump area.
45 Minutes | £55

We begin with a skin exfoliation using our dry brushing technique, followed by an application of basq Lavender Perfect Scrub. Next, the tummy is treated to a layering of our wonderful stretch mark oils and butter, which combine to replenish deep down while also soothing itchy skin. While we allow these to absorb into the skin, the lower legs are massaged to assist circulation and reduce swelling and heaviness in the legs.
