Immersion Spa is located on the 32nd and 33rd floors of Atlantic City’s first boutique-lifestyle hotel, The Water Club at Borgata. High above Atlantic City with peerless Atlantic Ocean and skyline views, Immersion is one of the most awe-inspiring destinations within the $400 million hotel.
A 36,000-square-foot spa, Immersion blends natural materials with a modern design, including a river rock archway with cascading water; slate, green marble, stone and glass detailing; and lush indoor greenery. Immersion’s crowning feature is a spacious, two-lane, 80-foot-long infinity-edge lap pool with horizon and Atlantic Ocean views and 42-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass panels.
Sixteen experience rooms await guests, each designed to cater to today’s spa trends of longer and more personalized services. Two are deluxe couples’ suites with oversized Japanese-style Hanoki soaking tubs and 180-degree views; two are Vichy shower wet rooms with heated Hammam tables; four are skincare-ready rooms; and two are individual suites with dedicated private showers and Jacuzzi tubs. Immersion also offers three soft-pack floatation device tables, designed to increase product absorption by 30 percent. Pairs can experience this service side-by-side. Additionally, The Water Club has 28 deluxe suite accommodations with a dedicated spa room ready for body treatments, massages and facials for a private spa experience.
Immersion’s service menu was created to suit the spa enthusiast who not only wants medi-spa options, but also desires a quick fix and spa indulgences without downtime. Immersion satisfies with “high tech, high touch” experiences, which last a minimum of 80 minutes and feature leading spa industry products, including Naturopathica, Intraceuticals, Jamu, TRUE, Academie de Scientifique and Tara Spa Therapy’s Ayurvedic line.
“We believe the surge of medi-spa and high-tech only spas have a limited appeal,” says Mark Vanderwielen, VP of Hospitality. “Immersion offers high tech spa experiences and equipment with a high degree of personalized touch. With our experiences we can achieve an immediate result with treatments that still allow the client to partake in otherwise off-limit activities such as sunbathing, and having a cocktail by the pool, on the same day as their service.”
Immersion’s signature services include the Immersion Rainforest (110 minutes), which starts with an exfoliation and mud wrap of Black Silt Clay containing herbal extracts of Indian Sarsaparilla, Plantain, and Echinacea, and then a rinse in a Japanese-style Hanoki soaking tub filled with rare essences of Bourbon Vanilla, Massola Bark and Linden Blossom. The experience finishes with a pampering full-body deep tissue massage.
In addition to the pool, the spa includes a state-of-the-art TechnoGym-equipped fitness center with ocean views that also overlooks the infinity pool area; a men’s and a women’s lounge featuring cold water plunge pools along with Jacuzzi and steam rooms; and a gourmet spa menu by renowned Manhattan chef Geoffrey Zakarian. Continuing the personalized focus, guests are given the opportunity at check-in to select their dining option, which is served poolside, or while relaxing in a spa suite. Spa cuisine is served in three Geoffrey Zakarian designed bento boxes.
Spa menu selections include super food lunch boxes with options like a roast turkey wrap with arugula, and cranberry relish, a string bean and almond side salad with yogurt dressing, quinioa, shallots, pine nuts and sherry vinegar, served with a blueberry parfait filled with crushed pumpkin seeds. Immersion also offers guests a chocolate and tea service for before and after treatments to provide the ultimate experience in decadence.
