In an age crying
out for relaxation and renewal, residents of the northeastern
United States, and visitors from afar, will soon have the opportunity
for rest and rejuvenation in one of the nation's newest and best-appointed
spas.
Following
a multi-million dollar addition now underway, the Equinox Resort,
a RockResort, will unveil Avanyu, its new 13,000 sq. ft. full
service resort spa in January of 2003. Avanyu at The Equinox will
be an intimate spa experience reflecting the transcendent beauty
and nature of Vermont's pristine environment in both its treatments
and the new spa's interior. The new Avanyu Spa captures the natural
energy and healing atmosphere permeating the surrounding mountains,
trees and water flowing freely from the famed Equinox Springs.

Situated
on 2,300 acres between the Green and Taconic Mountains, The Equinox,
with 183 rooms and suites, dates back more than 200 years. Comprised
on the historic Equinox Hotel, the 1769 Marsh Tavern and the intimately
luxurious Charles Orvis Inn, the resort offers championship 18-hole
golf, year-round outdoor activities and ideal proximity to the cultural
happenings of Vermont. The three restaurants offer variety ranging
from romantic intimacy to a historic tavern to golf club informality.
Among The Equinox's more unusual activities are courses in falconry
and the unique Land Rover 4x4 Driving School. In addition to golf,
there are three tennis courts, two swimming pools and hiking, biking
and climbing in summer; cross country skiing and other sports in
winter on the 900 acres of The Equinox Preservation Trust. www.equinoxresort.com |
