Daily Candy- Spa Icon at Brickell

Double Dipping
The Spa at Icon Brickell Opens



You furtively dip out of parties (“Forgot something in the car!”) and excitedly dip into guacamole (“Look how many chips I can fit in my mouth!”).

New on the list: serenely dipping into one of the pools at The Spa at Icon Brickell.

The new spa’s stunning Water Lounge — giant yellow chandelier, floating couches, shelves of white books, a fireplace — is just the tip of the 28,000-square-foot iceberg. (You’d expect nothing less from designer Philippe Starck.)

Performed in oval-shaped rooms, the creative treatments range from the Masterpiece (a full-body exfoliation and facial) to Raindrop Therapy (an essential oil massage that stimulates the nervous system) and use medical-grade products like Valmont, a Swiss line filled with fancy science stuff.

There’s also a juice bar, a mani-pedi station, and a full-scale gym.

To transform you into the little dipper.




The Spa at Icon Brickell, 465 Brickell Avenue, Brickell (305-503-0369 or viceroymiami.com).
