Florida's Gulf Islands of Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key and the mainland areas of Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch welcome you to an unspoiled beach destination on the Gulf of Mexico. Our islands offer the most precious of spoils… time. Time for family, romance or self discovery among miles of white beaches, shells and sea turtle tracks.

Soothe your skin and prepare it for summer.

Acqua Aveda on the Beach HOLMES BEACH, FL
(20 miles from Sarasota)
5311 Gulf Dr. * 941.778.5400

When you walk in, you will be inundated with the scents of Aveda’s plant-based products. The customized hourlong elemental nature facials ($85) are lovely, but the real power-treatment is the botanical skin resurfacing (60 minutes, $95), in which crushed tourmaline and essential oils are used to smooth skin and improve radiance.

It’s Aveda’s less-irritating answer to micro-dermabrasion – no post-facial redness here.
