To celebrate this special milestone, The Royal Palm Spa is introducing two new signature treatments by Valmont, each thoughtfully designed to promote wellness and deep relaxation. The first, called The Gentleman’s Awakening, is a revitalizing facial specifically tailored for men’s skin. This treatment soothes irritations, alleviates stress, and helps restore a youthful, energized appearance by targeting signs of fatigue and refreshing the delicate eye area with precise techniques.
The second treatment, Glaciers Vitality, offers a rejuvenating experience aimed at revitalizing dull and tired skin. By stimulating cellular oxygenation and reducing signs of fatigue, it leaves the complexion feeling bright, refreshed, and radiant.
