                        The Cloister experience is a once-in-a-lifetime . . . .
          One of the few seaside spas in the United States, the Sea Island Spa is inspired by the majestic Atlantic Ocean and its remarkable ability to revitalize and sharpen the senses with its massaging waters, melodic waves and brisk salt air.
        Many of Sea Island Spa's pampering spa treatments and energizing  fitness programs incorporate elements of the spiritual and restorative  powers of the sea. Its calming properties are drawn upon as well during meditation and relaxation  exercises. Guests emerge from the Spa with mind, body and soul renewed and nourished, and a satisfying feeling of personal well-being.
       The award-winning Sea Island Spa has been recognized as one of the finest spas in the world. In 1998, it was named the number one North American spa by readers of Travel & Leisure. Committed to providing a thoroughly individual,  nurturing experience, the Spa devotes a Spa Concierge to guests who choose one of the many spa packages the resort offers, taking southern hospitality to a new level.         
       Many of the resort’s visitors have included authors, politicians, royalty, dignitaries and celebrities, such as Jimmy Carter,  George Bush, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Somerset Maugham, Lillian Gish, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Hopalong Cassidy, Perry Como, Carol Burnett, Jimmy Stewart and Eugene O’Neill.   Having famous visitors plant oak trees on The Cloister lawn  was an early tradition and even today, guests can see the “Eisenhower Oak ” among others.
           The Spa Concierge is involved in the custom planning of the guest's itinerary - from sea turtle walks and kayaking to spa treatments and fitness programs - and will also handle dinner reservations,   transportation service and  other arrangements, taking care of all details to allow guests to truly relax. Guests may also enjoy a la carte spa services from a comprehensive menu  of services and treatments.   
          At The Sea Island Spa, the psyche is given as much attention as the body.  Meditation, breathing classes, aromatherapy and various wellness lectures and demonstrations are some of the ways guests learn to add balance and focus to hectic lives.
           The soothing elements of the sea are incorporated in such offerings as the  "Mind Body Walk," an early morning beach walk incorporating Tai Chi and "Journaling by the Sea," a program that teaches relaxation through writing.
         A sampling of additional sessions includes a "Walk on the Drive Side," fitness walking with a personal trainer; "The Method Training," using Pilates-type exercise techniques to foster good posture and enhanced  movement; "Food for Thought," focusing on nutrition and "Aromatherapy  Makes Scents" exploring the healing properties of essential oils.
         Recreational activities include golf, tennis, skeet shooting, water sports, bicycling, horseback riding, special dance programs and musical entertainment.
