2. KNESKO and The Ritz-Carlton Bacara Collaborate on Golden Hour Collagen Massage
KNESKO Skin announced a collaboration with The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, on the Golden Hour Collagen Massage. This anti-gravity, gold- and peptide-infused massage lifts and contours the skin, delivering a radiant, ageless glow.
The Golden Hour Collagen Massage fits into the growing trend of caring for the entire body rather than focusing solely on the face and neck. The Gold Repair Serum and Cream feature facial-quality ingredients powered by KNESKO’s proprietary GEMCLINICAL skin care technology, which infuses ethically sourced minerals and gemstones into their results-focused formulations.
"The KNESKO team has aided our success in this treatment through on-site training, pop-up events and consistent check-ins," said Alexis Haley, director of spa and recreation at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara. "Our providers jump for joy every time they see a Golden Hour Massage on their book, as they reap the same benefits on their skin as the guest does on theirs and know the retail component and KNESKO enhancements are always an easy add."

4. StolenTime Saint Lucia Launches Zodiac Themed Wellness Retreats
StolenTime in Saint Lucia announced a partnership with renowned astrologers, the AstroTwins, for 2025. Tapping into the increase in astrological wellness – the use of astrology to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being – the resort will launch curated itineraries for each zodiac sign from the AstroTwins, encouraging guests to use astrology as a tool for their own self-care routines across spa, fitness and culinary experiences to optimize their well-being while on vacation.
Each itinerary starts by setting the ideal “holiday vibe” for each zodiac sign, followed by daily guidance for what the guest should indulge in. These crafted retreats help visitors flow through their time on site in the way most suited for their sun sign and return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
"Proponents of astrological wellness and aligning self-care practices with patterns inspired by one’s birth chart may enhance overall well-being," said Andrew Barnard, chief executive officer of Sunswept Resorts. "At StolenTime, we believe wellness looks different for everyone and that also includes alternative practices. We are excited to partner with the AstroTwins on this program that explores celestial influences on holistic health."

5. SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites Introduces Yerba Mate Spa Treatment
SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites added another wellness offering inspired by Argentine traditions this winter. The Yerba Mate treatment, derived from the brewed beverage known for its antioxidant-rich and energizing properties, is designed to offer a holistic revitalizing experience in suite.
Yerba mate, a South American brewed hot beverage similar to tea, is used throughout several steps of the new treatment. The in-suite experience starts by gently exfoliating the skin with an exfoliant enriched with yerba mate, leaving the skin silky smooth and ready for the next step, a warm shower. The warm shower, also provided in the comfort of the spa-suite, prepares the skin to receive the hydrating benefits of a specially formulated yerba mate mask.
Once the mask is applied, the body is wrapped in a soft vegetal fiber sheet to retain heat and maximize the benefits, followed by a few minutes of relaxation and a hot shower to complete the process.
