BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS (September 26, 2014) – Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, BVI has appointed Courtney Greene as manager of its luxurious Ixora Spa, the newest L’OCCITANE-branded spa in the Caribbean. Like all L’OCCITANE spas, Ixora Spa embraces the use of natural plants to heighten the allure and effectiveness of their products, which is important to many Caribbean residents who value their close personal connection to the natural elements. In addition to managing the spa’s extensive services and superb staff, Greene will teach group and private yoga classes.
“Scrub Island Resort continues to elevate the on-island guest experience by partnering with only the most luxurious brands and hiring outstanding managers like Courtney,” said Juli Corlew, Scrub Island Resort acting managing director. “It is the goal of L’OCCITANE to keep their state-of-the-art services very exclusive, offering their products and services only to a limited number of select five-star resorts and their guests who truly appreciate the French art-de-vivre.”
“The Spa is a natural extension of L’Occitane and our respect for authenticity, Mediterranean art de vivre and traditional Provencal techniques. We are delighted to partner with Scrub Island Resort to provide an unforgettable sensorial experience to all travelers visiting this incredible part of the Caribbean Islands.” Franck Vergara, Regional VP at L’Occitane
With nearly a decade of experience practicing esthetics, yoga and massage therapy, Greene returns to Ixora Spa after her time with The Inn on Biltmore Estate and independent spas including Spa Theology and Around Town Massage in Asheville, North Carolina. Greene maintains numerous certifications, from microdermabrasion and sugaring to oncology and pre-natal massage.
Greene will host morning yoga classes every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday on the Scrub Island dock hovering over the azure waters of the Caribbean with views of the horizon and the lush hillsides of neighboring islands. Private lessons and classes can be arranged by contacting the spa directly.
Named for the native tropical shrub, the Ixora Spa by L’OCCITANE is perched on a hillside overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea offering a haven to relax, refresh and re-energize. The facility offers three treatment rooms, including one for couple’s massages, all with adjoining soaking tubs; a manicure and pedicure area; an exclusive infinity pool only available to spa guests; and a L’OCCITANE boutique featuring an array of products for guests to take home with them. As a testament to the island’s namesake, signature scrubs are a requisite for spa goers seeking a true experience that embraces its cliff-side sense of place.
Other services offered at Ixora Spa by L’OCCITANE now include the Immortelle Secret of Youth Anti-Aging Facial, Almond Reshaping Body Wrap, Signature Ixora Shea Nurturing Massage, and two-, three- and four-day spa packages.
