Spa Treatments For Sailors

Blu's News: Spa Treatments For Visiting Yacht Guests

All guests of yachts visiting Marigot Bay Marina are invited to enjoy the serene beauty and amazing menu of treatments at the Spa Village, where our therapists can recommend a treatment for every individual need.

Says our expert in indigenous therapies, Blu De Franco: “Some marina guests have been on their boats for a long time, so we have a recovery treatment using local aloe vera and natural yogurt that will help skin recuperate after such extreme exposure to the sun.

"Or if the body is tired and stiff from all that sailing activity, we might recommend Deep Tissue Massage to release muscle tension and soreness. As always, we ask the guest how they want to feel, and design their treatments to deliver the result."

Blu's FAQs: Does Aloe Vera Cure Sunburn?

For sure, she says! It grows all over our Caribbean islands and has been used as a home remedy for thousands of years. Aloe was even called the "burn plant" by ancient Chinese and Egyptians. Today, modern research shows aloe vera not only soothes sunburn, but helps skin to heal and can even prevent peeling from sun damage.

Why does aloe vera work? The plant is a triple threat, with succulent leaves which have anti-inflammatory properties to provide relief and hydration. Aloe vera is 99% water, and also contains glycoprotein and polysaccharide which aid skin healing.
