Customized Couples Aromatherapy Bath Experience builds on retail and back bar and bespoke in-room personal care amenities in 54 rooms and suites.
Sedona, Ariz. (February 6, 2025) – Body Bliss Intentional Aromatherapy is delighted to announce a new collaboration with Alila Ventana Big Sur to provide products and rituals for Intertwined Essence, a unique, personalized in-spa bath service designed specifically for couples. This bespoke experience allows guests to choose from four distinct Luxe Bath Burst options—Lavender, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, or Orange—and combine them in a copper soaking tub for two, creating a ritual of togetherness.
As a luxury, inclusive spa catering to couples, Alila Ventana Big Sur offers unparalleled opportunities to celebrate milestones in a serene and natural setting. The Luxe Bath Burst couples experience will take place in Alila Ventana’s stunning outdoor cabanas, featuring hammered copper soaking tubs overlooking the majestic redwood forest. Following the bath, couples can enjoy massages that incorporate the combined aroma, further enhancing the sensory journey.
Michael Jastrzebski, who joined the property in January 2024, is the visionary behind the new aromatherapy ritual, stressing the spa’s commitment to crafting meaningful experiences for couples.
“I wanted our guests to deepen their connection with each other and come together in a symbolic way. Each guest chooses from four distinct aroma profiles, which are elegantly presented. The couple then pours the Bath Bursts into the tub together, symbolizing unity and creating a custom aromatherapy blend specific to them,” said Jastrzebski.
Jeff Winter, a longtime Body Bliss account manager specializing in new development, worked with Jastrzebski to create the back bar products, suggesting scents that would resonate with guests, and the intentions behind them. The two met at the 2024 ISPA Conference and made plans to take the Body Bliss/Alila Ventana partnership to new heights.
“The Luxe Bath Burst is designed to enhance the sensory experience—the powder fizzes like a bath bomb using only natural ingredients and pure essential oils, forming fluffy aromatherapy bubbles when poured into the bathtub. The experience leaves guests delighted with their “bubble bath” and their skin feeling silky smooth with its creamy buttermilk and jojoba oil base.”
As the winner of the American Spa Professional Choice for Favorite Private Label since 2020, Body Bliss is known throughout the spa industry for bringing clients’ visions to life. The Luxe Bath Burst Couples Ritual builds on Body Bliss’ private label partnership with Alila Ventana. The Spearmint Rosemary shampoo, conditioner and body wash are available in all 54 rooms and suites and are one of the Spa’s most requested retail items.
