COSTA RICA, October 22, 2013 – The Flamingo Beach Resort, the enchanting beachfront property in Guanacaste, has announced the re-launch of its 2,800-sq.-ft. full-service spa. Formerly managed by a third-party operator, the new OnZen Spa takes a holistic approach to achieving overall wellness through the restoration and realignment of each guest’s mind, body and energy.

The spa’s name, OnZen, signifies “healing waters” in Japanese and alludes to the practice of Zen, which represents balance in all things. While staying at The Flamingo Beach Resort guests can balance an active morning of zip-lining, touring on ATVs or horseback riding, by spending the afternoon at the Spa rejuvenating tired muscles during a Signature Mineral Salts Soak or indulging in a Rain Forest Aromatherapy Massage. For the dedicated beach-goer who may have overdone the sun, OnZen has added an After-Sun Skin Repair Treatment which allows the essence of cypress to calm and cool inflamed blood vessels, while Organic Shea Butter restores lost moisture. Finally, in addition to organic body treatments and massages, the OnZen Spa has recently added salon services including manicures and pedicures, which are the perfect complement to any spa experience.

Keeping with the property’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the OnZen Spa now uses all-natural, organic spa and beauty products from Nayked Botanicals. To enhance the guest’s spa experience the staff has been extensively trained on the naturally-derived, 100% vegan products by the founder and owner of Nayked Botanicals, Vicki Karlin, who has supervised the launch of several medical-office spa facilities in Broward and Palm Beach Counties in South Florida.

“The OnZen Spa adds great value to our property and we believe that it will be extremely popular with Flamingo Beach Resort guests,” said General Manager of the Flamingo Beach Resort, Donovan Garcia. “We are thrilled with the product line and improved treatments that Ms. Karlin has introduced, and look forward to the successful future of our new spa under the direction of Delia Correas, a licensed therapist with more than 15 years experience in Costa Rica resort spas.”

Built in 2008 at a cost of approximately $300,000, the newly refreshed Spa features four treatment rooms, two Jacuzzi hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms. OnZen Spa offers a wide selection of treatments for individuals, couples and families. For more information or to reserve a massage in advance, please email [email protected].
