Located in the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa, Aquae Sulis is a fusion of an ancient Roman temple bath and state-of-the-art beauty center. With 36 treatment rooms, a co-ed steam, sauna, and hot tub, a fitness center, ritual rooms, relaxation room, locker rooms, and a spa boutique, you’ll feel simultaneously stimulated and at peace in this modern-day sanctuary.

Nobody quite did relaxation like the Romans, and Aquae Sulis takes a cue from them with incredible ritual rooms that are included in all treatments, excluding waxes. Guests begin preparation for their treatment with soothing hot and rejuvenating cold plunges, followed by a period of relaxation in a warm float pool. Next, the body is invigorated with the six alternating currents of the outdoor hydro-circuit pool, and then toxins are expelled in the steam and sauna. The ritual finishes with a cascading waterfall shower that massages and relieves any lingering tension.

If the spa ritual didn’t eliminate all of your stress, the spa’s lavish and varied treatments certainly will. Aquae Sulis has everything you could possibly desire: a wide selection of massage therapies, including add-ons such as icy hot gels, aromatherapy blends, and a thermal seafoam mud; vichy shower treatments, a warm tropical rain that improves circulation, hydrates, and includes a body wash, scrub, wrap, moisturizer, and mini-facial; facial therapies, which also include an extensive list of add-ons; waxing for the face and body; body scrubs and wraps; and a selection of treatments for men and brides. The sheer amount of services boggles the mind, though the body is instantly grateful the second you experience a treatment. And guests really can’t go wrong with any selection; the Chocolate Delight Body Treatment is a delight indeed, with a chocolate meringue scrub and Swiss chocolate mousse to exfoliate and hydrate. The Caviar Facial is another specialty, an anti-aging treatment and massage that lifts, firms, and smoothes to renew skin and reduce fine lines.

And with its clear blue waters, peaceful earth tones, marble floors, and colorful mosaics, Aquae Sulis is an environment designed for a Roman god or goddess. You’ll certainly feel like a Venus or Adonis after experiencing this therapeutic haven.
