GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, the first and only resort in the Caribbean to earn Forbes Triple Five-Star, Michelin Key, and AAA Five Diamond recognitions, proudly announces the reopening of The Spa following a complete transformation of its physical space and treatment offerings. Designed by award-winning Champalimaud Design, the newly reimagined spa pays homage to Cayman's land, sea, and community through artful design while continuing to lead with innovation, delivering first-to-market treatments and programs.

Inspired by Caymanite, the semi-precious gemstone found only in the islands, the interiors embrace an earthy palette of coral, clay, and sea-washed white, complemented by natural textures and greenery. A newly designed entrance offers a sense of arrival, guiding guests along a serene outdoor pathway surrounded by lush vegetation and calming water elements. Inside, marble tile flooring, hand-painted ceiling motifs, and custom lighting evoke the gentle rhythm and movement of the sea.

Courtney Brannan, Principal of Champalimaud Design, said, "Our goal was to create a space that not only reflects Cayman's coral reefs, flora, and gemstones, but also offers an immersive sanctuary where guests can reconnect with themselves and the surrounding environment. Every detail, from the textures to the soundscapes, is designed to celebrate the island's heritage while elevating the modern wellness experience."

The facility now features 16 treatment rooms, including three couple's suites, three rooms with private showers for body therapies, and a dedicated nail room with two pedicure and three manicure stations. The hydrotherapy area has been expanded to include four cold plunge pools, revitalized saunas, steam rooms, and relaxation lounges.

Massage and facial tables now incorporate vibroacoustic technology, which synchronizes sound and vibration to enhance relaxation and deepen the meditative experience. This feature, paired with the Myndstream sound platform, allows guests to experience soundscapes scientifically designed to support sleep, stress relief, and emotional balance.

"This transformation represents a new chapter in wellness for our guests. Every element of The Spa from the architecture to the signature treatments has been thoughtfully curated to honor the islands and inspire true renewal," Sandrine Dixneuf, Spa Director of The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman said. "With our one-of-a-kind offerings, including the Exosome Regeneration Facial and immersive sound bath experiences, guests can enjoy treatments and technologies found nowhere else in the Caribbean, providing a deeply restorative and unforgettable wellness journey."

The Spa is launching an all-new approach to personalized wellness with the introduction of on-site Wellness Coaches, a new experience for the resort, who connect with guests before arrival to craft individualized treatment journeys. The spa features two world-renowned brand partners; ESPA, celebrated for its natural aromatherapy-based products and marine-inspired ingredients, and 111SKIN, the acclaimed performance skincare line featured in leading luxury spas worldwide.

Showcasing the Spa's continued commitment to pioneering wellbeing experiences, the resort introduces standout treatments that define its elevated approach to wellness, available nowhere else in the Caribbean.

A marquee of The Spa's new treatment menu is 111SKIN's Exosome Regeneration Facial which will be exclusive to this Caribbean location. This 90-minute facial represents the cutting edge of skincare science, leveraging exosomes to promote cellular communication and skin regeneration. Delivered through advanced micro spicule technology, the facial infuses potent rejuvenating actives alongside 111SKIN's proprietary NAC Y2™ formula for visible, transformative results. The treatment incorporates specialized technologies to enhance cleansing, product infusion, and skin firming, maximizing the benefits of the exosome duo formulations. Guests enjoy a deep cleanse, a lifting and sculpting face and neck massage, and a restorative Bio Cellulose mask, resulting in a dramatic lifting, tightening, and illumination effect. This facial exemplifies the Spa's commitment to offering treatments found nowhere else in the Caribbean, combining luxury, innovation, and measurable results.
