The W Hotel on South Beach recently debuted their Bliss Spa. This state-of-the-art spa hails from New York, where Bliss is known as the leader in facials, massages and other pampering treatments. While Miami isn't lacking spas and the like, this new three-story facility is modern, clean and approachable. It's also quite foodie friendly. Short Order was invited to sample some of Bliss' gourmet-themed services recently and found them to be quite delicious.

The new Bliss Spa on South Beach features delicious treatments.

The appropriately titled Carrot and Sesame Body Buff actually utilizes shredded carrots in its 90-minute treatment. These carrot snippets were mixed with warmed-up essential oils, which were then applied to my body. The technician advised that not only are carrots a great source of Vitamin A, but that they are an excellent exfoliant. This was followed by a hot drizzle of milk and honey. I was then enveloped in Mylar for a new age veggie wrap. Next up was a Vichy shower, and finally I was rubbed down with a lemon sage body butter.

For "dessert," there was the Double Choc pedicure, which comes with a bowl of chocolate chip ice cream. While I was pigging out on the ice cream, my feet were being buffed, scrubbed and massaged with chocolate-flavored exfoliants and moisturizers. It's how I imagine the Oompa Loompas must relax on their days off.
