JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa – Palm Desert’s largest resort – debuts a one-of-a-kind Interactive Co-ed Wellness Lounge & Spa Experience, the first for the Marriott brand. Located in the heart of the hotel’s iconic 38,000 sq. ft. Spa at Desert Springs, the lounge fulfills a mission to bring balance and harmony to everyday living, merging the perfect blend of relaxation and new technology. The newly launched amenity is a welcome addition to The Spa at Desert Springs, which also features an aromatic hammam, Finnish saunas, eucalyptus steam rooms, whirlpools, and a heated outdoor saltwater lap pool, which overlooks 450 acres of vibrant desert gardens and the property’s signature lakes.
The new interactive co-ed wellness lounge offers 15 state-of-the-art lounge chairs, reflecting award-winning innovation built with sustainable practices and materials, which promise relaxing, nurturing, and re-energizing experiences for locals and travelers alike. Spa guests booked for treatment will gain complimentary access to the lounge on a first-come, first-serve basis. Alternatively, a full or half-day pass ($125/$45 per person) gives full access to spa amenities, including the wellness lounge. The space can also be booked for private events by groups seeking a truly unique wellness experience.
Upon arrival at the Interactive Wellness Lounge, guests will be greeted by a Spa Attendant and receive an herbal tea while choosing from three types of hi-tech loungers, separated by curtains for privacy, with sessions beginning at 25 minutes.
