KEEP COOL WITH GOOD VIBRATIONS, SENSATIONS AND LIBATIONS: ALL NEW THIS SUMMER AT VICEROY PALM SPRINGS & ESTRELLA SPA

Viceroy Palm Springs takes the heat off with a new line-up of cooling spa treatments and amenities, a summer promotion and a soothing leisure package

July 2006 (Palm Springs) - Eye on Palm Springs this summer! Known for its high-modern architectural landmarks, celebrity hangouts, stunning landscapes and, of course, the indulgent escape of Viceroy's Estrella Spa, this very-now desert haven remains a hot-spot destination all year round. And this summer Viceroy Palm Springs Resort & Estrella Spa has introduced even more enticing reasons to escape for an oasis retreat - a free-night promotion, an elegant luxury package and a collection of creative amenities to help you stay blissfully cool, from new Estrella Spa treatments and an icy plunge pool to festive frozen cocktails from Citron Restaurant and Bar. Runaway to Viceroy's relaxed desert luxury for a romantic tryst, a well-earned poolside respite or a regenerative spa makeover.

Cool Sensations: In tandem with Estrella Spa - named one of Travel + Leisure's "Top 5 Spas to Watch" - the resort has introduced a line-up of whimsical new amenities and activities to battle the desert heat or harness its cathartic cleansing properties.

• Ice Haus: A new open-air, outdoor treatment room (for one or two people) set up for a "do it yourself" one-hour treatment. Start with a detoxifying full-body clay mask (painted on by yourself or your partner), take 20 minutes to recline on your private chaise lounge to set the mask, then follow with a full-body ice exfoliation (once again done by your partner or yourself). Shower off with our seaweed scrub bar, spritz your on-fire skin with our spearmint misters, then finally sooth and cool with Estrella's house-made all-over body lotion. 60-minute treatment: Single - $85; Double - $125.
• Spa Under the Stars: Enjoy a decadent after-hours massage al fresco under a desert moon and brilliant summer stars: a full-body Swedish massage with choice of aromatherapy oils, finished off with a full-body spearmint spritz and cooling housemade iced herbal tea. This singles or couples massage is offered from 8pm-10pm Fridays and Saturdays or midweek by request. 60-minute treatment: Single - $150; Double - $275. 90-minute treatment: Single - $200; Double - $375.
• Cool Plunge: Jump start your circulation with a flash dip in our icy plunge pool. Throughout the summer the heat has been turned off our Jacuzzi and the ice poured in to create our Cool Plunge, offering a stimulating 70-degree charge. Its balancing chill will make the desert's sweet heat feel divine.
• Good Libations: Thanks to sister-property The Tides Hotel in Miami, the Popsicle Tini is now on the West Coast: Our new Watermelon Martini served with a Grapefruit, Orange & Mint Popsicle. And Move over Cosmopolitan, this season's "it" drink is the Mojito, in Watermelon, Raspberry, Grapefruit (from our very own trees), Peach and Citron.
