Father’s Day is coming up this month and Hiatus Spa + Retreat has packages to give Dad a well-deserved spa day. Each package at Hiatus is personalized from start to finish. All services include a purifying foot soak ritual and the signature hand and foot massage, along with a sensory journey and customized aromatherapy. (Hiatus Spa + Retreat, 2019)

Father’s Day Packages include:
Frosty Mug: 80 mins, $195 | H-Circle $139 – After a thorough Dead Sea Salt body polish with woody essences of Cedar and Vetiver, Dad receives a shampoo and conditioning hair treatment with lathery scalp massage and a cool water rinse. Next is a refreshing massage under the warm Vichy shower with smooth stones of frozen beer that is sure to awaken the senses and boost circulation. An aromatic warm oil massage closes the experience but Dad’s retreat would not be complete without a frosty mug of local craft brew.

The Dad Bod: 2-3 Hours, $189 (normally $220) H-Circle $138 – His deserving choice of any two Hiatus Essential Services: The Signature Massage, The Tailor-Made Facial, The Body Glow, The Body Wrap, The One & Only Mani-Pedi

The Tip Top: 2 Hours, $210 (normally $250) H-Circle $168 – Knock it out of the park with two of the most popular services to leave Dad feeling shiny and new. First a sports massage with a custom blend of essential oils and guided stretching to banish aches and knots. Then, Pop gets an invigorating facial of exfoliation, masque and aromatherapy steam plus a hand and food massage. It ends with a restorative scalp treatment that makes this the perfect package from head-to-toe.

H-Circle Dad – H-Circle Members – There is nothing Dad likes more than spending time with kids. So, make it a family spa day and give him H-Circle guest pricing when he accompanies a member for a spa visit during the month of June. If he joins, Hiatus will waive his enrollment fee.
