“At Salish Lodge & Spa, we put a great emphasis on sustainability, and our Spa is a very significant part of that,” said Rod Lapasin, general manager at Salish Lodge & Spa. “Whether the ingredients are being used for the dinner menu or a spa treatment, we embrace our natural surroundings with indigenous and locally-sourced ingredients. From the sweet honey produced at our on-site apiary to the herbs plucked from our gardens, our signature spa treatments reflect the beauty and bounty of the Pacific Northwest.”
The exclusive online feature, compiled by the editors of Prevention.com, recognizes those destination spots taking steps toward a greener, more open-minded spa experience. Spas on the list not only have eco-friendly credentials, they must provide an overall top notch spa experience including award-winning food, stunning natural views and an array of rejuvenating spa treatments.
The web exclusive references Salish’s signature spa experience, The Herb and Honey Scrub Bar. This interactive experience invites guests to work with a spa mixologist to choose from a variety of fresh herbs including chamomile, rosemary, lavender, basil, lemon verbena, sage, mint and many more. The chosen herbs are then blended with Salish honey, essential oils, and salt or sugar scrubs to create a custom scrub for each guest. To see a full list of spa treatments, visit www.salishlodge.com.
