Greater Fort Lauderdale has two faces, much like the masks of comedy and drama. They offer contrasting but equally pleasurable expressions.
For example, people who stop over for a few days before or after a cruise, who come down for a family reunion or business, or who book a change-of-pace vacation often turn into frenzied jugglers as they get caught up in the flurry of activities. The mission is fun.
The ideas bounce around something like this: How many hours at the beach can we slip in between conference sessions? Why not try para-sailing and jet skiing? Scuba lessons – sure, but what about one of those historic or nature tours, too? We also have golf in the morning and shopping, which can take all day. And then there are those new restaurants we heard about. And, we have to make time for that concert or nightclub, even if it ends up keeping us out most of the night.
The area has another pleasure as well, however, where the face of calm offers respite from the hectic pace.
Moments of quiet and rejuvenation overlooking the ocean can be as welcome as the breeze after an afternoon rain. A leisurely hour or two at one of the many spas in resorts that dot the county can make the schedules pause, and time stand still for awhile, for the traveler who needs some recharging before setting out again.
Throughout the month of September, pampering will be a priority as the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau kicks off the first annual Lauderdale Spa Chic program, presented by American Express. With savings of up to 50% on spa treatments and one-night deluxe accommodations, visitors can choose to refresh and renew in a dozen participating area resorts, including the world-class Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale, as well as the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa and the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort and Spa.
The mission of Spa Chic is relaxation, in dramatic luxury, but that facet of Greater Fort Lauderdale can be fun, too.
