Serenity by the sea Spa Celebrates 10 Years

Serenity by the sea, the award-winning spa at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa, will now offer its guests a new fitness experience, with the recent installation of brand-new Precor® equipment – just in time for its 10th anniversary. The Emerald Coast’s “Best Spa,” as voted on by readers of Emerald Coast Magazine since 2003, is now one of a select group of hotel fitness facilities worldwide to meet the standards of Hilton Fitness by Precor®, an initiative aimed at providing guests with workout essentials while on the go.

“We’re excited to be able to offer our guests the best of the best in fitness equipment and ensure they achieve the optimal workout at our facility,” said Ryan Holt, spa director. “At Serenity by the sea, we take great pride in providing a premier, world-class spa experience, from traditional spa treatments, to personalized services and full-service fitness offerings.”

The fitness center update is a result of the $250,000 investment on the spa’s infrastructure, as part of the Hilton Sandestin Beach’s $6.5 million hotel-wide renovation project, completed in March.

Focus on Fitness
As a result of this initiative, Serenity by the sea’s fitness center now boasts eight 956i low-impact treadmills, three EFX® 576i elliptical fitness cross-trainers, an upright bike, and a  recumbent bike, as well as new weight equipment, including a functional training station – all by Precor®, the global leader in fitness equipment – and ECOmax recycled rubber floor tiling. Precor® machines distinguish themselves for providing users with an invigorating and more personalized workout – every treadmill and elliptical comes with its own TV screen, for example.

In Serenity by the sea’s fully equipped fitness center, guests can work out on their own or enjoy the expertise offered by onsite personal trainers. Additionally, the spa offers a wide array of fitness classes tailored for every mood in need. These include Yoga, Zumba, Yoga-lates, Pilates, and Belly Ballet and take place on the beach, pool deck or fitness studio. Individual, 12-, and 20-class passes are available. Guests may register for classes by calling 850-622-9595 or signing up at the spa’s Front Desk. Advanced signup is required to guarantee a class slot.

In addition to the fitness center upgrades, the spa’s additional enhancements include paint and surface touch-ups across the 11,000-square-foot facility, which features separate private men’s and women’s lounge areas with whirlpools, sauna and steam room, private lockers and a healthy selection of fresh juices and snacks.

Use of the fitness center is complimentary for hotel guests; full-day access to the private wet area, locker rooms and lounge is available to hotel guests for a $20 fee and to the general public for $25. For guests receiving a spa treatment, all of those facilities are complimentary during the day of their treatment. Local fitness center memberships are also available monthly or annually.
